It is truly a shame that Jack Harkness never got to meet Twelve.

[smilingaspera]

Alright so the first time the 456 came to earth they asked for like 10 kids (I don’t remember the number) and one of them got away so they only got 9 kids and they were like ok no big deal don’t worry we’re leaving in peace. From their point of view the humans didn’t respect their end of the deal and they were just fine with it? Did I miss something?

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

I know there is something... very distracting going on with that last page, and believe me I'll get to it... but more importantly, the other shoe drops with Courtney... in issue number 5 of this book we were shown that someone had come to replace her, and there was a faint outline of an ashed body on the floor, and this is confirmation that it was Sat-Yr-9 who did it.

Now the elephant in the room.... yeah, Jamie is back, and they still have not got this dude some clothes, so he is once again just running around in his banana hammock, like man, someone needs to buy this guy some pants...

I love this prompt list!! Could I have 9. historic and 23. wind for anyone you’d like to write?

A little post-war tidbit, for Dick and Joan and a few other familiar faces.

Try as he might, he could not remember the house.

"Well, of course you don't remember it," Joan said, as if this were the most obvious thing in the world. "You never came upstairs. The most you ever saw of the inside of the Frobishers' was the Captain's study for a drink after dinner."

Dick allowed that she was right, and contented himself with pulling her a little closer and trying to find his memory of that room - just inside the front door, to the left. He remembered a chess board and a whiskey decanter, and long panoramic photos on the wall. Well, that was something, at least. His mind hadn't completely deserted him after all this time away.

It was cold, for September, with the wind coming out of the North, and the fur-lined lap robe seemed the very height of luxury here in the wide back bench seat of the saloon car. Mrs. Frobisher was, as always, a very thoughtful hostess - she'd sent the car to the station at Newbury with the robe, a flask of tea, and strict instructions that the couple were to come straight to the house so they might have time to freshen up before dinner. So for now it was just the two of them opening up their shared personal history and reminiscing fondly about Wiltshire country roads.

"You were always in and out of our rooms," Dick remembered, suddenly, as the car took them by the turning-in to the drive for Littlecote House.

"And I always had the door open when I did it," Joan pointed out. "If I'd even thought of inviting you upstairs with me the scandal would have been all over town by tea-time." She smiled privately and, looking over at him, squeezed his knee. "And I'll remind you at the time, you weren't very interested in upstairs rooms or in me, Lieutenant Winters."

"More fool me," Dick said dryly, covering her hand with his own so it might stay where it was.

"Here we are," said the driver, cutting in as politely as he could as he turned into the drive.

"Who on earth is that?" Dick asked, taking note of a tall, dark-haired man in his late twenties standing next to Captain and Mrs. Frobisher in the drive.

"That must be one of their sons," Joan said, sitting up and studying the face a little as the car pulled to a stop. "I couldn't tell you which."

Dick was glad, at least, that he wasn't the only one without answers, and contented himself with rearranging the robe away from the door so Joan might step out of the car and exchange greetings and Abigail Frobisher could admire, in this order, her hair, her coat, and her luggage, before launching into a detailed version of the itinerary that had already been decided weeks ago by letter.

"And Major Winters! So good to see you again, my dear. I don't think either of you have met Aubrey, our eldest. He was away, when you were here last."

"You make it sound like I was at school, Mother," Aubrey observed with a slight smile, stepping forward to join the group, "and not fighting the Japanese. Heard so much about you both," the younger Frobisher offered, shaking hands with both of them. Dick took note of the cane he was resting on, the slight brittleness of his smile, and tried to remember the pictures on the Captain's desk. Was it Army, or Air Forces? The detail escaped him. If he wanted to know how Aubrey Frobisher had been injured, it seemed like Dick was going to need to ask.

"All of it good, I hope," Joan joked, merely for something to say.

"The absolute best," Aubrey assured her, her hand still in his. "I was promised you were a beauty, and I'm happy to report a rare case of my mother telling the truth."

"Aubrey!" Just which part of what he'd said had raised offense with his mother was difficult to divine - she looked flushed, though whether that was from her comments about Joan or her son's about her gossip no one could say. And, too, there was a slight touch of color in Joan's cheeks too, a fact which made Dick a little warm under the collar himself.

"Shall we all go inside?" Captain Frobisher, as always, had the whole thing well in hand, interrupting before anyone got too hot. He held the door open to allow his wife and Joan into the house first, letting his son take his time with the two steps up and heading up the rear with Dick. "How are you, Major?"

"Well enough," Dick said, shaking the Captain's hand. "Keeping busy. You?"

"Can't complain," Oliver Frobisher said with a shrug. "The world keeps turning and we all turn with it. It's nice to have a full house again. Will you have a game of chess after dinner - for old time's sake? I haven't had a half-decent game since I played against your friend Nixon."

"If you want half-decent, you'd better keep waiting," Dick managed, still trying to keep his eye on Aubrey and Joan. "Nix was always a better player than me."

"Ah, well, in chess, maybe," the Captain said with a smile. "It seems to me you won the only other game worth playing." He nodded to Joan, who had finally been left alone in the hall after Mrs. Frobisher had sent her son on some errand or another, and winked.

Dick smiled gratefully and joined his wife to help take off her coat.

"Are you jealous, Mr. Winters?" Joan asked, when she'd gotten out of her scarf and helped him leave his own overcoat on the hall tree. "You have a terrible poker face."

"I'm just glad he was in Burma while you were here," Dick said quietly, his relief little-hidden now that the two of them were alone, thinking of Aubrey, and Lew, and a thousand other dark-eyed charmers. "If he'd been here I don't think I would have stood a chance."

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

The Holy Terror

Synopsis

The TARDIS lands in a forbidding castle in a time of religious upheaval. The old god has been overthrown, and all heretics are to be slaughtered. Obviously it isn't the sort of thing which would happen there every day — just every few years or so.

Soon after the Doctor and Frobisher are hailed as messengers from heaven, they become vital to opposing factions in their struggle for power. But will they be merely the acolytes of the new order — or will they be made gods themselves?

Evil is growing deep within the crypt. And the pair soon find out that they will be lucky to escape their new immortality with their lives.

Propaganda no propaganda submitted

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances

Synopsis

Chasing a metallic object through the Time Vortex, the Ninth Doctor and his companion, Rose Tyler, arrive in London during the Blitz. While Rose meets "Captain Jack Harkness", the dashing Time Agent responsible for bringing the object, the Doctor finds a group of homeless children terrorised by Jamie, an "empty" child wearing a gas mask.

[ID: Eight gifs of Torchwood. Lois Habiba is standing confidently in the front of a room which includes Brian Green, the Prime Minister of the UK, and Bridget Spears, Frobisher's PA. They watch her, shocked, as she says: "I'm afraid not, sir. Right now, Captain Jack Harkness, Head of the Torchwood Institute, is in the reception of the MI5 building. So you're going to stand aside, and let him do his job. And deal with the 456. Immediately. And, er... I think that's it." She smiles. End ID]

[gaknar]

Excalibur get teleported out of Fairy Tale land after a telepathic solicitation from that dimension’s Nigel Frobisher sets Rachel off and triggers Widget’s cross dimensional teleportation capabilities. And I’m left wondering, what sexual fantasy could he possibly have been harboring that triggers both Rachel and Brian so intensely?? I mean, assuming that it’s not something along the lines of assault or otherwise non-consensual (which it probably was), what sort of deviance could be so off putting? Something like this possibly? Hmm I guess we’ll never know. Best to move on and not think about it. Now if you’ll excuse me for a second, I need to glance around suspiciously and go clean out my Pornhub browser history… (Excalibur #14 – Nov 1989)

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

Nigel's ambitions just get too big for his britches, and Sat-Yr-9 takes him out like a total chump...

[depeche-inof]

So continuing my Torchwood re-watch - determined to finish watching the show because the first time I watched it I got up to CoE day four and, ya know - i watched CoE day one yesterday, then day two today and I just finished watching day three. Long story short it’s too intense for my emotionally weak arse to handle and I feel like I’m going to throw up. Torchwood fandom, I need the support of all 27 of you right now.
