Doctor Who: Shear Force by Trobadora

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Doctor Who Pairings/Characters: Twelve/Missy/Jack Rating: M Length: 11,681 words Creator Links: Trobadora Theme: Working Together, time travel

Summary: This is what it takes to hold together what has been sheared apart. Or: The Doctor, Jack Harkness and Missy encounter a weapon from the Time War.

Reccer's Notes: Jack visits the Doctor to berate him for releasing the Master from the vault. While he's there, something terrible is happening to time itself.  The Doctor and Missy have to work together with Jack's help to stabilize their timeline.  The author does such a great job showing you these little snippets of possible timelines, and giving you just enough that you want to know more.  There is a sex scene between the three of them, but it makes sense in the context of story, and is about so much more than just sex.  If you like Twelve and Missy and have always wanted to see what it would have been like to throw Jack into the mix, then please read this one.

Bingo #4 and #5 for @ficreadingchallenge

domestic/curtain fic Portrait of a Beekeeper by MadamzelleG Sherlock Holmes/The Beekeeper's Picnic, Holmes/Watson, G, 2525 words Summary: Watson starts a mediocre painting hobby in retirement: bees, birds, the garden—and, inevitably, Holmes.

part of a challenge or event Your Awful Heart to Song by fancryptid Our Flag Means Death, Stede/Izzy/Ed, T, 25,284 words Summary: No one left alive knows that Izzy isn’t strictly human, and he’s worked damn hard to keep it that way. He’s perfectly content to live the rest of his life without speaking the truth to anyone–Edward included–shoving any and all yearning for the sea and his true form down deep inside him where it belongs. He is, after all, good at denying himself what he wants most. It's all going smoothly right up until Stede throws his life into utter chaos. Again. In the aftermath of a storm and a captain gone overboard, Izzy has to contend with the consequences of a lifetime’s worth of secrets being suddenly brought to light. Hopefully he can do that before things go too disastrously off the rails.

I just finished watching Sherlock & Daughter. It's not my favourite Holmes by any means, but I enjoyed it for what is was. It was a very "CW" version of Sherlock Holmes, by which I mean there was a lot of focus on the young characters, in this case Amelia, who I did like, lots of drama and action. I'm probably not explaining it well, but if you've watched CW shows from the past you get their style and vibe.

Some elements I enjoyed: Holmes being so concerned over the welfare of Watson and Mrs Hudson. I do wish we had gotten more of Holmes and Watson together, but I liked what little we did get. Moriarty being alive and in prison was a nice twist. I liked the actor who portrayed Moriarty, and he and Holmes played off each other well. How all the parts of the seemingly unconnected crimes fit together was interesting.

My only complaint is how straight/heterosexual they made Holmes. Like I know that was somewhat necessary because of the concept of the show, like how else would he have a long lost daughter? But couldn't they at least have made him bisexual or something? Although, maybe he is. I still see this version of Holmes as asexual, even though we know he had a sexual relationship with Amelia's mother. I can't explain it well, but that's my interpretation.

I also wish we had seen the scene where Holmes tells Watson who Amelia is, it could have been such a great character moment between the two. Amelia later says that Watson has been so kind and welcoming to her, and I wish we had seen that scene as well.

Anyways, if you like Holmes related stuff you might want to check it out, just don't expect any canon accuracy, because that is not what they are going for.

Hey everyone, so far we have a dozen prompts! But we could always use more. Prompts can be as short and simple, or as long, as you like, and don't have to be birthday related.

Also, go check out the prompts we have already and see if there is something you'd like to claim! Fills can be any length, from drabbles to multi-chapter, whatever suits your fancy.

Sherlock Holmes: A lesson to live by RatTale

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Sherlock Holmes (tagged both Books and Granada) Pairings/Characters: Holmes & Watson Rating: T Length: 2743 words Creator Links: RatTale Theme: working together

Summary: After a long day of seeing patients, Doctor Watson is on his way home when he gets pulled into an alleyway to help one more patient for the night.

Reccer's Notes: When Watson has an unexpected patient, in an unexpected place, Holmes gets roped into helping.  They have to work together for the benefit of the patient.  It's very nice to read a story where Watson is the competent medical professional and is the one in charge instead of Holmes.

Bingo #3 for @ficreadingchallenge

oldest fic in the tag of your choice All the Pretty and Charmed Collide by astralitte Supernatural, Castiel/Crowley, Not Rated, 978 words (tag was top!Crowley) Summary: Well, not exactly my first SPN fic (I’ve never posted any before though), but it’s my first Crowley/Castiel fic, so, yeah. Basically, I was prompted with rough sex and Castiel riding Crowley. I failed at the rough sex, I got carried away with.. angst.

whump The Scientist's Method by spacemutineer Sherlock Holmes (Granada/Books), Holmes/Watson, T, 26,607 words Summary: Sherlock Holmes has always known the world through the straightforward lenses of evidence, logic, and reasoning. But when Watson is caught in a tragic preventable disaster, his trusted clear lines of reality start to shift and blur, and the scientist detective begins to piece together a grand discovery far beyond even his exceptional imagination. Detection is a way of learning and science is a way of knowing, but as Sherlock Holmes is about to realise, love is a way of understanding.

new (to you) podficcer [Podfic] A Few Minutes More by WanderPods (RangerJedi67) Merlin, Arthur/Gwen/Leon, T, 14 min Summary: Leon’s patrol was late returning. Hours late. Gwen would not panic. She would not. She’d experienced this before, many times, often with the patrol involving just about everyone she loved. She worried but she did not panic. Arthur was a different story.

cold read Tale on a Winter's Eve by Meltha African Queen, Charlie/Rose, G, 1236 words Summary: Time has ebbed and flowed like the currents of the Ulanga, and Rose looks back at the patterns it made.

Everyone go listen to the podcast episode I edited! (It was so much harder than editing music for a fanvid.)

Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah! This week, Emily and V head to summer camp! That is, we discuss the podfic summer camp extravaganza that is VoiceTeam, an annual challenge to create creative podfic for any fandoms and pairings your heart desires... as a team. We also look at how podfic was THE COOLEST way to pick up chicks in the '90s, where podfic started back in the '80s as a way for sight-impaired fans to get their shipping on, and what VoiceTeam 2025 is doing (and how it's stressing V out). Let's pull some pranks and make some friendship bracelets! And, of course, make some podfic! This episode was edited by our amazing listener and Patreon supporter, @kingstoken! Thank you so much!

Bingo #2 @ficreadingchallenge

under the influence Intoxicating by oorsprong, rudbeckia Granada Sherlock Holmes, Holmes/Watson, T, 3286 words Summary: “I was referring to the provocation of desire. But how could wine alone be responsible for the thrumming of my heart when you gaze upon me as though I am your own unsolvable mystery? Despite my assurances to the contrary you must see that I am a man with all the weakness that entails.” I shivered and rested my hands upon his shoulders. “Am I your weakness, Holmes?”

non-traditional format Road to Recovery by EdosianOrchids901 Granada Sherlock Holmes, Holmes & Watson, T, 1747 words Summary: After Holmes is attacked by Baron Gruner’s thugs, the newspapers report on the great detective’s condition. Those reports don’t quite agree with Watson’s patient notes.

A Special Announcement!

Happy Spones Day, everyone! We've been hinting at a special announcement for weeks now, and we can finally share that our second NSFW theme is… Mirrorverse!

Introduced in the TOS episode Mirror, Mirror, the Mirrorverse is a twisted reflection of the regular TOS universe where everything is darker, crueler, and cold-hearted murder is the norm. Captain Kirk, Doctor McCoy, Scotty, and Lieutenant Uhura were sent to that universe where they encountered the Mirror Spock, and just barely returned home with their lives.

You're free to tackle the Mirrorverse in whatever way you like! We will release more information about submissions in the coming days, so be sure to stay tuned in to our page and/or join our Discord server to keep up with all the latest updates! In the meantime, you're free to begin brainstorming--submissions for this edition will close August 31st!

And now, a request: our committee needs help! We're searching for additional Production/Formatting, Illustration/Graphic Design, and Editors to assist our current team. You can learn more information about these roles through the application form linked below, such as the level of responsibility and time commitment.

Apply to join the We Go Together committee here!

We are also in search of a cover artist for this edition. If you have any interest, please contact us for more information!

We're so excited for this issue of the zine, and we hope that you all are too. Thank you everyone for your patience and support, and we hope that you enjoy Spones Day~!

Interest Check for a John Watson Prompt Meme/Fest

According to some John Watson's birthday is August 7. I was wondering if there would be interest in doing a little prompt meme/fest to celebrate. I was thinking I would set it up on AO3, where people could leave prompts and claim prompts, with the goal to have the fics done on Watson's birthday. It would be open to all the Watsons (all adaptations).

Ghosts (US): you drew stars around my scars by OpalEssence

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Ghosts (US) Pairings/Characters: Hetty & Flower Rating: G Length: 708 words Creator Links: OpalEssence Theme: female relationships

Summary: Following Season 2, Episode 5, when Hetty meets Molly the maid, she must attempt to come to terms with the fact that Elias' betrayal was entirely of his own will and desire. Luckily, Flower is there to help her move forward.

Reccer's Notes: The author of this fic does a great job capturing how these characters speak, especially Flower.  It is a reflective, but wholesome scene, one that I could have very much seen playing out in the show.
