ROUND 3 MASTERPOST

synopses and propaganda under the cut

The Daemons

Synopsis

The Master, posing as a rural vicar, summons a cloven-hoofed demon-like creature named Azal in a church crypt. Seeking to gain the ancient titan's demonic power, he gathers a cult and then corrupts or controls the residents of Devil's End to bow to his will. Dark elemental forces begin to disturb the village on the eve of May Day: unexplained murders, a stone gargoyle come to life, and a nigh-impenetrable infernal energy dome. With the Master fully prepared to destroy the Earth, the Doctor and UNIT — aided by a benevolent practitioner of witchcraft — battle the wicked rites of a secret science wielded by an alien from another world.

Propaganda

what is the most important quality of a good doctor who story, to have a strong plot, something to say, something new to try. all of these are positives, yes, but sometimes the best doctor who stories are just fun. sometimes they feature the master pretending to be the leader of a satanic cult pretending to be an anglican priest, remote control bessie, an alien who's basically the devil, a living gargoyle, a witch, and the doctor escaping being tied to a maypole by pretending to be a wizard. truly, this is the heights of doctor who, it is beyond fun to watch, i love it so much. If that’s not enough, then surely the fact that this has THE ‘the brigs an alcoholic and mike yates is gay’ moment (anonymous)

An Unearthly Child

Synopsis

Barbara Wright and Ian Chesterton, two humble teachers during 1963, are surprised by a bright student named Susan Foreman. Confused by the contradictions in Susan's knowledge, Barbara had decided to visit her home, only to learn that the address on record is a junkyard. She and Ian decide to wait at the location until Susan or her grandfather show up. There, they discover a junkyard inhabited by her grandfather, simply known as "the Doctor", and he doesn't want them lurking about.

When the teachers refuse to leave, they discover that an ordinary police box is actually bigger on the inside. The Doctor decides they know too much about his and Susan's otherworldly origins and takes them on a journey across space and time in his TARDIS, the place he and Susan now call home.

Remus banned Sirius from grocery shopping alone because he once came back with “nothing we actually needed, but look how tiny this watermelon is Moony!”

“glow” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 322 words

Regulus and James are cuddled up in bed; Regulus is on his back with James’ head resting on his chest. His arm is wrapped around James’ back and he’s running his fingers up and down James’ arm while James draws shapes on Regulus’ chest. Usually it’s the opposite—and they both love that—but sometimes Regulus needs to hold James and James wants to be held.

Regulus is looking up at the ceiling and a thought pops into his mind, and he can’t help the thoughtful hum that escapes.

“What?” James asks.

“Nothing.” Regulus shakes his head

James looks up at Regulus with a pout. “What?”

“I think we should put stars on our ceiling.” Regulus says simply.

James turns to rest his chin on Regulus’ chest as he looks at him. “What?” He says again.

“Yeah.” Regulus nods definitively. “I’m going to put glow-in-the-dark stars on our ceiling so you have something to look at.”

James chuckles. “So I have something to look at?”

“Yeah. It’s really boring—”

“This is boring?” James cuts in with another pout.

Regulus rolls his eyes. “This,” He squeezes James. “is not boring. But our ceiling is boring.”

James glances up quickly. “I think most ceilings are boring, babe.”

“Can I not put glow-in-the-dark stars on our ceiling?” Regulus asks with fake indignation.

James pushes up so he can kiss Regulus. “You can do whatever you want, love. I just don’t want you to ever think I’m bored when I have you in my arms.”

Regulus rolls his eyes. “Cheesy.”

“But true.” James kisses him again before laying his head back on Regulus’ chest.

“So, stars? Yes or no?” Regulus asks after a moment.

“Can we put them in the Leo constellation?” James asks.

Regulus knows James too well, so without hesitation he says, “Only if you don’t give me cheesy lines about Leo on the ceiling and Leo in your arms.”

James huffs petulantly and Regulus just chuckles and squeezes James even tighter.

James Potter is a weak man! Not because he is actually weak but because he has no resistance to puppy dog eyes or crying or anything really.

Sirius asks James to pull a prank on the Slytherins and James says no he’s a little busy with quidditch and Sirius just tilts his head with a frown and James gives in EVERY time.

Peter invited James to play chess but James already has plans so Peter just nods and looks resigned to his fate and James cracks.

Regulus however, he is the worst. Because he cries. And he can full on sob to get James to do whatever he wants. He can’t resist Regulus with tears in his eyes much less with tears running down his cheeks.

James Potter is a weak man but he is completely fine with it

If I had a nickel for every time Sirius made a terrible joke and Remus gave him that fond but annoyed look, I'd be rich enough to buy a Wolfstar happy ending.

Moonstruck - Feb. 12th - word count: 227 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Sirius’s jaw dropped as Remus walked into the room.

“What are you looking at?” he asked self-consciously, messing with his immaculately-tailored suit. “Do I look weird?” 

Sirius was thanking his past self profusely for taking Remus to Twilfitt and Tattings for a fitting. He was gorgeous, and the fact that the suit was custom-made to bring out all of Remus’s best features also made Sirius’s breath stutter.

“No,” Sirius said finally, snapping his mouth shut. “You… I- uhm, one second.” He scrubbed a hand over his face and rubbed his eyes, hoping that the image in front of him wasn’t just a hallucination.

Nope. It definitely wasn’t.

“Are you alright now, Padfoot?” Remus asked, walking up to him. “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry, you’re just so beautiful that I was speechless,” Sirius said, watching as the tips of his boyfriend’s ears turned red. He enjoyed the sight of a flustered Remus very much.

“Padfoot,” he warned, evidently knowing what was about to come out of his mouth. “Don’t-”

“You might even say…” Sirius’s grin widened. “I was moonstruck.”

Remus groaned. “No, no, shut up.”

“Never,” Sirius said.

“Fine. We still have to go to James and Lily’s wedding though, Pads-”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go comfort Prongs. Ten galleons says that he’s already panicking.”

“Sirius,” Remus said slowly. “I’m not taking that bet. You know how he gets about Lily.”

ok so I've seen someone saying the boggart of Snape being made to be dressed as a grandma is humiliating him, which ok I get. but they were blaming it on Remus as if Remus knew that a students BIGGEST FEAR would be a fellow teacher.

also I honestly don't think we think hard enough about the fact that Neville Longbottoms biggest fear is Snape when: his parents were tortured until they became incapable of functioning and his remaining family put him in increasingly dangerous situations for his magic to come out because he was a "late shower".

And yet his potions teacher was his BIGGEST fear.

boggarts are a person's worst fear and I think a lot of people don't think about that when they talk about that scene.

so yes Snape being seen in woman's clothing is "embarrassing" for him but what should be more embarrassing for him is being a 13 year old's worst fear.

If I may ask, what are The Meat Droids? I'd guess they're a clone band, but I'm probably wrong

No you're right!! Beeps, Roadie and Hare are all clone deserters who are hiding in plain sight as eccentric, masked members of an underground EDM band that accidentally got really popular!

They also have a manager/weird friend called R0ADIE who is a battle droid that Beeps rescued from a scrap heap - it's actually also becoming a fairly well known artist...in Droid circles, anyway....

They scraped a living playing gigs and taking occasional odd jobs, until one of their albums got spotlighted by a critic and they somehow ended up on tour with one of the most well known bands in the inner core - Nuclear Crotch Floss. This makes them all extremely anxious, even before the lead singer of NCF tries to murder them.

Theres a lot going on! Theyre in my brain on a low heat simmering away like a perpetual soup

dandelion casually dropping traumatic information while insisting that instead of killing the problem wizard they simply burn his tongue

[iamthedamndonutdrawcat]

sirius black in his most godly state: sweaty back, damp curls against his forehead and neck, a single thin chain pressed cold against his chest, a locket over his erratically beating heart, a cold breeze against his steaming skin, oil stained shirt clinging to his skin, the remnants of bike repairs as black spots on his finger tips, high on adrenaline just back from his bike tour, panting and laughing breathlessly, shaking the tension out of his arms, ink spread under his skin.

any onlooker is caught, frozen, staring, unable to pull themselves away.

[secretboggy]

reg is a spreadsheets person in a modern AU. i don't make the rules he just Is yk.

james wants to make a spreadsheet to keep track of all his uni assignments but all of his friends either don't know how to help (sirius) or refuse to help (remus and lily), so he goes to the only other person he knows is good that them. maybe sirius made some jokes about reg being a nerd about them or he heard about remus and reg showing off their insane spreadsheets to each other.

and reg is exited becaue new spreadsheet project!!!! oh and james ig. but SPREADSHEET. so he agrees to help

he ends up making exactly what james wants and leaves a bunch of little notes so he knows how to use it, but also explains everything he's doing (cause like. he was a captive audience. who HAS to listen to him talk about this) and james just melts. he thinks is so sweat

anyway he uses it as an excuse to hang out with reg for weeks untill he's fully able to navigate sheets himself and reg Knows this bastard is just making up excuses to hang out. he won't admit it but it's making him lose his mind

“insane” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 252 words

Regulus is leaning on the railing of the Astronomy Tower waiting for James.

“Hi, love.” He hears James say. He turns around but no one’s there.

“James, come out.” Regulus tells him, assuming he’s under the cloak.

“Psst.” Regulus hears behind him and he turns back to the railing.

“What the hell are you doing?” Regulus asks with wide eyes.

There, on the other side of the railing, is his boyfriend hanging upside down from his broom, only holding on by his ankles and smiling like an idiot.

“Kiss.” Is the only thing James says.

“Kiss? Are you insane?! Get in here!”

“Kiss first.” James tells him and flies right in front of Regulus, still hanging upside down.

Regulus rolls his eyes but puts his hands on James’ cheeks and pushes up on his toes to kiss him.

“Now get in here.” Regulus says again.

James flips right side up then flies into the tower and hops off his broom.

“What were you doing?” Regulus walks over to James.

“It’s called a spider kiss.” James tells him as he wraps his arms around Regulus’ waist.

“A spider kiss?” Regulus raises an eyebrow.  

“Yeah, or something like that. I saw it in one of Remus’ comic thingies and wanted to try it.” James smiles and Regulus rolls his eyes again.

“Can I at least get a regular kiss now?” Regulus asks and James leans in to kiss him. When they break apart Regulus tells him, “I’m taking those comic thingies away from him before you break your neck trying another stupid stunt.”
