mercury is in retrograde

I watched on a really crappy proxy stream, and I got like five hours of sleep last night, so this is probably not super coherent.  But anyway, initial reactions!  Largely cut-and-pasted from my responses to other people's reaction posts, as that's one way to collect your thoughts....

( spoilers under the cut! )

I did fandom_stocking again this year and it was quite fun.  Thanks to everyone who helped fill my stocking!  I wrote three ficlets, so I thought I'd repost them here since I haven't posted fic in forever.

For karate0kat, I wrote this Martha/Mickey ficlet:
( 1. )

For sahiya, I wrote Eleven/River h/c:
( 2. )

And for eponymous_rose, I wrote a Doctor Who + TNG not-quite-crossover, featuring Rory, Amy, and Doctor Crusher:
( 3. )

Okay, so I was wrong and I do have time for LJ today.  Hehe.  Happy Ada Lovelace Day! 

I have to go in a minute, because I want to get some homework done before I leave for the Physics Club picnic (I am not a physics major, but I know several people who are).  Anyway, what was I trying to say?  Oh, yes!

If you like River/Eleven, fairy tales, or just good DW fic in general, you really ought to read leiascully's latest story if you haven't done already.  It's beautiful, and it works in the fairy tale themes quite elegantly.  Definitely one of my new favorites.  It's here.  Spoilers for 6x13, as you'd probably expect.  

Title: yours to play the part
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Eleven/River, peripheral Amy/Rory
Word Count: 1507
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I own no Who, as usual.
Summary:  River, the Doctor, time, and space.
A/N: A very belated entry in the spoiler_song 2010 Holiday Fic Exchange.  My anonymous requester asked for "River/Doctor, cliché," I believe.  My apologies for the unpardonably late posting (something went wrong with the exchange posting at the comm, and I never got around to posting it myself).  I'm not sure I filled the prompt, exactly, and it's probably a bit more h/c-ish than the requester was expecting, but I'm reasonably happy with it.  No spoilers; in fact, the section with Amy and Rory is a bit odd in light of the most recent episodes.  Title taken from Regina Spektor's "One More Time With Feeling."

 So, for the longest time I had been wanting a River/Eleven vid to Amanda Palmer's "Astronaut."  beccatoria made one for me, and it's quite lovely, and you should all go watch it!
