Taming the Muse

Title: River of Time 3: Improbabilities
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Joan of Arcadia/Doctor Who/Torchwood
Spoilers: Maybe some for TW season 1, and some for my TCAFoYD series.
Prompt: Aladdin
Warnings: Crack. Some light slash.
Pairing: Luke/Grace, Jack/Ianto
Rating: K+
Word Count: Around 2200

Summary: TCAFoYD-verse. Two months after Grace’s mysterious disappearance, Luke travels to London and discovers things that will change his life. Previous parts here.

A/N: It’s been awhile since I watched Torchwood, so I hope you’ll forgive any canonical mistakes and the like. Also, for all you BtVS fans out there who have never watched Torchwood, would I be able to tempt you by revealing that James Marsters will be joining the cast next season? ;)

Title: River of Time 2: Shadowed
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Joan of Arcadia/Doctor Who/Torchwood
Spoilers: None for the shows, some for my TCAFoYD series.
Prompt: Conclave (don’t blink; you might miss it!)
Warnings: Crack. That’s about it.
Pairing: Luke/Grace
Rating: K+
Word Count: Around 1000

Summary: River of Time series (post-TCAFoYD). Two months after Grace’s mysterious disappearance, Luke travels to London and discovers things that will change his life.

A/N: Just a short chapter this week. This is actually about half of the chapter I intended to post, but I’ve gotten a little bit sidetracked recently with another little project that I think you’re all going to love. In the meantime, enjoy!

Title: Windows to the Soul
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Animorphs (yes, seriously)
Spoilers: Book 13: The Change
Prompt: Argos
Warnings: Bit of slash, nothing major.
Pairing: Jake/Tobias
Rating: K+
Word Count: Around 1000

Summary: After the events of The Change, Jake spends the day with Tobias, learning him all over again.

A/N: Please forgive any awkward wordings or weird mistakes. I wrote this very quickly, read it over once and must now rush out the door. I do apologize for all the stuff I need to change but haven’t gotten around to yet. I can’t wait for my practicum to be totally finished so I can actually take the time to write again!

Title: Mirror, Mirror
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: American Gothic
Spoilers: Episode 1x03: Eye of the Beholder.
Prompt: Narcissus
Warnings: Dark, but nothing really deserving a warning.
Pairing: Daniel/Cheryl and, um, Cheryl/Cheryl (sort of)
Rating: K+
Word Count: Around 1300

Summary: Lucas Buck leaves a “gift” for the Trulanes.

A/N: This story takes place during the events of “Eye of the Beholder”, but you don’t really need to watch the show to read it. It pretty much stands alone. All you have to know is that Sherriff Lucas Buck is a powerful and scary man, and he wants something from Daniel that Daniel doesn’t want to give. But Lucas always gets what he wants.

Title: The Giants
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Supernatural
Spoilers: None
Prompt: Asylum
Warnings: None, sadly. It hardly seems worth reading, eh?
Pairing: None
Rating: K

Summary: The boys investigate a string of disappearances at an elementary school.

A/N: Sadly, another last minute effort. Like my last SPN ficlet, this is less of a fic and more of a snippet of a fic that will never be. If you’re looking for a long, conclusive story, you might want to skip over this. It really is just a snippet.

Title: That Constant
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Joan of Arcadia/Highlander, mentions of Doctor Who
Spoilers: None
Prompt: Inertia
Warning: None (unless you count crack)
Pairing: Mentions of Luke/Grace
Rating: K

Summary: A follow-up of sorts to the TCAFoYD series. Grace thinks about her new life, and the people she left behind.

A/N: Well, I never thought this would happen. Once the series ended, I thought that would be it. Still, it seems that the characters aren’t quite finished with me. If you haven’t read the series, this won’t make much sense to you, I’m afraid. To those of you who stuck with me and TCAFoYD from the beginning, thanks a million and I hope you enjoy!

Special thanks to wizened_cynic for the Latin!

Title: It Doesn’t Count if You’re Dreaming
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Hex
Spoilers: for what happens to Jez (too lazy to look up episode titles)
Prompt: Devotee
Warning: Femslash
Pairing: Thelma/Roxanne
Rating: K+

Summary: Thelma is curious. How far does Roxanne’s newfound piety extend?

A/N: Another last-minute effort from yours truly! I don’t actually have much to say about this one, other than the fact that I have a feeling I’ve managed to royally screw up the Hex timeline while only making one or two references to it. Sorry!

Title: Common Ground
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Battlestar Galactica/Heroes
Spoilers: Set during “Maelstrom” (BSG) and just after “Parasite” (Heroes), but no real spoilers.
Prompt: Bouncy ball
Warning: Crack. (Since it appears to be all I can write.)
Pairing: None
Rating: K

Written for my dear, dear friend drummer_jew2002 on the occasion of her 23rd Birthday. Only late.

Summary: When you’re already going mad, what’s one more visitation? A “Maelstrom” missing scene (sort of).

A/N: Well, I pretty much decided to take the plunge and actually write the two fandoms I’ve been dancing around for a while. Only really quickly, and crossed over with each other. Go figure. It’s a little plotless, a little pointless; I just wanted to see if I could do it.

Title: Paperwork: Andy
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: The Office/Heroes
Spoilers: The Office ep 3x14: The Return (set immediately after)
Prompt: Hopi
Warning: may contain large amounts of crack. Not that this surprises anyone.
Rating: K

Concrit is love.

Summary: Andy’s last day at Dunder-Mifflin. Before he leaves, he has one thing left to do.

A/N: This is the first of a series of vignettes called (unless a better title strikes me) “Paperwork,” based on the idea that Dunder-Mifflin paper company is sort of a dumping ground for potential Heroes whose powers aren’t quite super enough to get them into Primatech Paper. No Heroes characters will appear (I don’t think), but some basic knowledge of Primatech Paper and how it fits into Heroes canon is helpful (but not necessary).

Paperwork: Andy

Title: Revelation
Author: Artemis Rain
Fandom: Highlander, Doctor Who, Joan of Arcadia
Spoilers: for Highlander episodes “Comes a Horseman” and “Revelations 6:8”
Prompt: Hairbrush
Warning: So very much crack. Also, slash and violence. Oh, and the Highlander timeline is pretty much mangled beyond repair in the epilogue.
Pairing: Methos/Doctor, mentions of Grace/Luke
Rating: K+
Word Count: 6,500 (approx.)

Feedback is welcomed with pathetically enthusiastic gratitude. Any suggestions on how I could improve my writing would be very much appreciated. I’m considering this to be a rough draft of the series, and will be going back and re-writing it, so if you do notice any inconsistencies, plotholes, OOC moments, etc, please don’t hesitate to point them out.

Summary: 14th and FINAL story in the TCAFoYD series. Grace and the Doctor have to save the world, no matter what the cost.

Previous Parts

A/N: Well, folks, this is it. The very last story in the cracktastic series we call TCAFoYD. This whole series is dedicated to its co-mommy, drummer_jew2002, who first came up with the idea. I hear she’s working on her own TCAFoYD-verse story involving Nazi vampires, so that should be fun! I just want to thank everyone who has been reading. It’s been a hell of a journey. I honestly only expected one reader, and I’ve been getting great feedback from quite a few people since I started this crazy thing. So, thanks again; it means a lot. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this series at least as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it.
