( Small Pleasures )
Fandom: Miss Marple/Dracula
Rating: PG
Length: 762 words
Content notes: AU. (Just a bit.) Mild horror concepts/mentions of character deaths.
Author notes: I was watching a 1960s version of Dracula that had Joan Hickson in. Obviously, this was instantly where my brain went. I'm sorry?
Summary: Two genre legends meet. The outcome is inevitable. Someone really should have warned the Count never to trifle with fluffy old ladies.
( So We Meet At Last )

( Haunting )
Fandom: Sapphire & Steel
Rating: PG
Length: 1282 words
Content notes: No spoilers. Possible warnings for manipulation - and general inexplicable weirdness as per the fandom. (So, if I’ve done it right, it won’t entirely make sense…)
Author notes: Written from a prompt set I’m working on. (But only posted here as per the rules.)
Summary: Silver always gets on terribly well with pretty bits of technology.
( Persuasion )

Fandom: Phantom of the Opera (2004)
Song: from the Doctor Who soundtrack (2006) by Murray Gold*
Rating: All ages
Length: 1.15
Content notes: None. (But it's Phantom - candles, graveyards, angels, masked strangers lurking in the shadows...)
Vidder notes: I was ripping some clips from Phantom for another project, and thought how well it'd fit the current challenge, and so put together this vidlet. I was going to use the stage version of 'Twisted Every Way', but as it turned out, among the tiny handful of (short) instrumental tracks I had, I found this, which was perfect.
Summary: Christine Daae has more than the usual reasons for dreading opening night.
( Twisted Every Way )

Summary: Mr President, you know how you said I was only to wake you if the building was on fire...?
( Do you know how humiliating it is to take your escape artist home in a box? )

( Second Take )
Fandom: Level 7 (Out of the Unknown)
Rating: Teen
Length: 500 words.
Content notes: Mental breakdown, mentions of a nuclear apocalypse
Author notes: Level 7 is a 1966 episode of the BBC SF anthology, Out of the Unknown, (from a book by Mordecai Roshwald). And, yes, if there is ever a badge for Wilful Obscurity, I will win it. (Sorry.) But the ‘Anywhere But Here’ prompt struck me hard when I was watching it. I hope it makes sense without knowledge of the source; it’s just a vignette of a particular moment/character.
Summary: Sometimes seeing the truth of things is no help at all.
( Not Here )
Fandom: Press Gang
Rating: PG
Content notes: Some images of a gun (and a clown).
Artist notes: 12 icons (4 text, 8 images) from S3 episode The Last Word
For the Communication challenge. Because few shows fit that theme so well as Press Gang.

( What do you know? 12 o clock and we've had a gun siege already... )
