SUMMARY: I blame my Silly!Muse. *nod**nod* dw100 Challenge #146: Riding


He hoped the TARDIS might have mistranslated. "Riding you say?"

His Companion nodded happily.

"On... horses?" Which was a tad redundant since they were standing outside a stable, but really now, there were countless more interesting ways to die. Perhaps she had meant elephants or cephalopods or something with a little less speed and a little more brains. Which made him wonder if somewhere (or somewhen) they might have gotten around to breeding riding sheep, because if you were looking for a right dearth of brains they'd give horses a run for their money. Racing sheep, now there's a thought...

SUMMARY: "Knowing is half the battle!" - G.I.Joe dw100 Challenge #147: Ice and Snow


"Did you know you can taste time?" The Doctor raised his glass, peering curiously at the merlot. He grinned when Rose raised an eyebrow. "Well, not taste, not exactly, more of a smell come to think of it."

"And that's a royal 'you' to boot." Jack tipped his half-empty glass in salute, "Some of us make do with only five senses you know." Rose laughed and leaned over to clink glasses in human comradery.

"You aren't missing much," the Doctor sniffed the wine experimentally. "Smells like Siberia, time does, full of ice and snow and barren nothingness."

"Good to know."

SUMMARY: Looks can be deceiving...


They came through the gate like conquerors, guns held in lazy confidence, smiles backed by controlled aggression. Not fearless, no, but unafraid. Walking into town as if they'd every right to trod the common grounds. The Mother's Mothers held quick council, granting the four traveler's rights two steps before they first breached marked ground.

The Sisters council was not amused.

Three hours later when the Mother's Mothers realized the four had nothing worth trading and the smallest one would never stop talking, they revoked the rights and set them back upon the common grounds.

The Sisters, wisely, muffled their laughter.

"So you're saying you aren't an alternate Jeanie," John stared at the new arrival in amused disbelief. "You're an alternate Rodney?"

"Wait, wait, I'm a girl?!" Rodney looked up from the piece of ancient tech apparently responsible for the new arrival, and stared at Rose in dawning horror.

"No, I'm a girl; you're apparently just an idiot," Rose crossed her arms and glared at her alternate self. "Have you been listing at all? It's not like I'm talking because I like the sound of my own voice." She paused, "Well, actually I do, but that's not the point."

"Well then go talk someplace else! Working here." Rodney waved a hand dismissively as he bent over the ancient doodad in panicked concentration.

The rest of the team (and eventually the rest of the lab) watched in amusement as the two Rodneys devolved into a shouting match over who was better qualified to fix said device. It wasn't until Elizabeth showed up and threatened to have Carson forcefully sedate them both that the two finally declared a truce.

At least until the coffee ran out.

PAIRING/WARNINGS: None
SUMMARY: sg_challenges Challenge #35 : Bones/Death


They weren't the only village that practiced sacrifice; in those lean years when the Wraith were few and far between, the tithe kept the village alive. Five people chosen randomly each month to live caged for the Wraith to feed upon or spare as they saw fit. A way to manage death, contain it within rules and ritual. A desperate bid to control the uncontrollable.

Rodney hadn't thought the Wraith capable of irony. Not until he saw the five rail-thin bodies pleading from the cage in voices rough with starvation, and the village behind them inhabited by nothing but bones.
