The Keys of Marinus:Chapter 27

A few seconds passed, and neither of them moved. And, for obvious reasons, neither did Darrius. Finally, Jack managed to tear his eyes from the body, and heaved a sigh before draping a nearby cloth over the still form that lay before them. Wiping the lingering tears from her cheeks, Donna turned towards the time agent, and was about to try and think of something to say when something so terrifyingly horrible happened that she could scarcely believe it. Without any warning, a loud, boisterous voice filled the room; a voice that Donna had learned to despise with every single fibre of her being. "We were at the beach! Everyone had matching towe

"I don't get it," he piped up one night. She tore her eyes away from the TV, just in time to miss Bridget laying one on Mr. Darcy, and stared down at him. "What don't you get?" He gestured to the room around them. "You work for Torchwood. In fact, your father practically owns it. The rest of your family's living in a big old mansion, and you're stuck here. Why?" She shrugged. "Had to move out. Everythin' was jus' gettin' to be a bit too much, you know?" "But why here? Why not somewhere a bit..." She smiled. "Bit more luxurious?" "I was gonna say a bit bigger, but yeah, that works too." The credits began to roll, and she turned

A/N: For anyone who doesn't really understand what's going on in this, I'm posting a short, spoiler-free explanation at the bottom. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ("I dreamt I was slipping through the cracks in the universe...slipping so hard and searching for love with more than my eyes.") And as those final words echo across her subconsciousness and die, Rose Tyler wakes up. She jerks to life, flinching at the sudden wave of morning light that seeps through the thin blinds and gather in pools of sunshine around her feet. Somewhere,

Their breaths echoed hoarsely across the small room, interrupted from time to time by a whimper from Donna, or the sound of Jack's toga against the net whenever he pulled his friend closer. A minute passed, and then another. Donna opened her eyes. "Shouldn't we be dead by now?" she whispered. "You should be," Jack whispered back, before turning his face upwards to see what was taking so long. Above them, the spikes still hung in mid-air, ready to impale their victims at any moment, but they were motionless; their descent halted only moments before they would have reached them. "Right, cause that makes me feel much better," Donna was mutt

Golden Slumbers: Chapter 3

Thirty-nine minutes later, Donna was stumbling back through the long reeds of grass, biting her lip in defiance and holding back whimpers of pain as soil slowly continued to slip through the cuts in her feet. The world sailed past in slow motion, each second as seemingly infinite and immeasurable as the last. Occasionally, she would stumble, and on each occasion, the Doctor was there to catch her. Or at least, she assumed it was the Doctor, for this slow motion world was an endless void of greys and blacks that was spread in front of her by the backs of her eyelids. Her only indicator of the golden-turned-black planet she assumed was still t

On the opposite side of the wall, Jack slid from the idol's lap the moment its stone hands released him. As he landed on the ground with a thump, his hand instinctively fell to his hip, but paused when he remembered he still didn't have his blaster. He looked around the new landscape cautiously, wondering if he'd need it. He was still in the jungle. Sure, he didn't exactly want to be staring into the face of danger right about now, but he had expected something a little more...dramatic. That said, on second glance, this side of the wall seemed different. Some of the trees surrounding him had been sawn off to make room for a wide, cobbled p

"Donna!" Despite herself, Rose broke away from the group and ran into the tunnel. Behind her, Jack desperately tried to grab the blonde, but only ended up following her into the darkness when all he caught was empty air. "Stay there!" he yelled back to Ian and Barbara. "I'll get her!" He ran to the end of the tunnel, where Rose was pushing against the wall with the palms of her hands. But by now the smooth, stone surface which had taken the statue's place wouldn't budge. She turned around and stared at him defiantly. "I'm not going back!" He snorted. "I kinda got that. You found anything?" She turned back to the wall and continued to push

The five friends continued to stare down the long passage that led to the key. Donna shifted a little bit closer; or at least, as close as she could get while they were all crammed into the opening. "Why don't we just go and get it?" Ian opened his mouth to say something, but Barbara interrupted him. "That's a good question. Why don't we just go and get it?" "It's a really good question," Rose mumbled before turning towards Jack. "Why didn't you get it before coming to us?" He nodded towards the key in response. "It just seems a bit too obvious, doesn't it? I mean, you had to go through all that stuff at Morphoton just to get one key,

Rose gave a gasp as she faded back into existence, and immediately shook off her sweater, tying it around her waist as she looked around. In contrast to the cold, empty corridors of Morphoton, this new place was so hot that she was already sweating, and was brimming with vibrant colour and life. She was in the middle of some sort of tropical jungle. Around her long, flowering vines cascaded through the thick tree branches, framing the endless landscape of flora, and above her the sunlight filtered down through the leaves, casting a warm, green glow on the rainforest floor. To her left, her view was obstructed by a tall, metal wall, which was

In the end it was Ian who stepped forward first, striding towards them with a hand held out and a warm smile on his face. "You must be the Doctor." Now that he was no longer under the control of the Mesmeron, his voice had lost it's monotonous drone, and now sounded rich with intelligence. However, Rose couldn't help but back away slightly as he came nearer, and jumped when her shoulder collided with Donna's. When she turned around to see what she'd hit, the redhead gave Rose a confused look, but the girl shook her head to indicate that she was fine. Meanwhile, the Doctor grinned and stepped forward, meeting Ian halfway with his normal e

Things were different. Not physically, of course. The long, stone hallways were still dark and cold, and Rose's feet were still freezing, but things were different nonetheless. Because while the Morpho's world itself remained unchanged, their prisoners were now free. As Rose walked back through the corridors, small groups of people wandered by, each looking as confused as the next. At first she jumped whenever they walked past her, and almost instinctively broke into a run, but after a few scares she quickly realized that no one wanted to hurt her. The Morpho's spell had been broken. And now all that was left was multitudes of ex-slaves

Everyone's just staring; they don't know what to do, so they just stare.

My Bio

Hullo! I'm an English-born Canadian 18 year old who tends to be a bit on the timid side, although I'll admit that I develop a roaring ego the moment I step near a computer. I love writing, and I believe that I'm rather good at it, although I find that good work never comes very naturally with me, and I have to work very hard to produce something that I'm proud of. (Which, thankfully, includes everything you'll find in my gallery.)
I'm a Doctor Who addict, and am still battling my way through the classics. (I'm currently on Peter Davison's last season) My ships include Rose/Doctor, (But please don't let that turn you off! I know that some members of my ship can be slightly...insane, but I like to think of myself as one of the more rational shippers.) Ian/Barbara, and Jo/Peladon. (Note: I am the only person in the world that ships that last one. *Sob*)
I try to make my work as out of the box as possible, and avoid plotlines that have already been done, so if you're looking for something that hasn't been done to death, you're in the right place!
Like I said above, I'm a bit timid when it comes to people, but I love the fact that I've made so many lovely friends while writing fanfiction, and I'd love to make even more! (Just you know, not in a creepy friend collection way.) For anyone interested, I'm also on FanFiction.net, (Which, I'll admit, is my main erm, base of operation. That's probably where you can find out the most about me: www.fanfiction.net/u/2045011/M…) Youtube, (Where I have a total of one fanvid! Woohoo! www.youtube.com/user/MentalMea…) and Twitter. (Because how else am I going to find out what Jonathan Ross had for dinner? twitter.com -you'll have to search for MentalMeander.) If that's not enough to stalk me to death, then I don't know what is. And no, you can't have my facebook, but if you manage to track me down there, I'll give you a cameo in my fics or something, because that is pretty bloody impressive!!! (Unlike the government of Ontario, I totally approve of stalking.)

Current Residence: Canada!
Print preference: Erm...a printer.
Favourite genre of music: Argh so hard to pick...basically anything pre-90s :D

Favourite Visual Artist

Group of Seven! (I'm SO Canadian, I know!)

Favourite Movies

Help!, the Iron Giant, Time Bandits, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Dead Poets Society, etc

OH MY LADY GAGA, IT'S GUY FAWKES! HAPPY BONFIRE NIGHT EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, so only the people in England probably know what on New Earth I'm talking about, but I don't care. I'm wishing everyone a happy Guy Fawkes Night anyway!! My family lives in Canada, but we put on an annual bonfire night anyway and invite all our confused Canadian friends. We tried doing the burning of the effigy and everything, but people got a bit offended, so now I resort to throwing cow tongues on to the fire and everything is fine. (True, that.) Alright, I'll admit. I am coming down from a bit of a sugar high at the moment. I can't remember much about the

Ah well, so I didn't get all the stuff done that I wanted. Ho hum, life goes on. I did, however, manage to get quite a bit of Golden Slumbers done, so if I'm ever a bit ahead in NaNo, I'll turn my attention to that. But setting a deadline for myself did help somewhat, so I might try it again in the future. Anyway, in other news, NaNoWriMo has begun!!!! I started my kick-ass post-apocolyptic, romantic sci-fi this morning in study hall and I am....*Checks* 406 words in!! Hooray! Just 45,594 words to go.

Right, I'm going to get straight to the point. I just saw Death the the Doctor. And I'm not going to talk about how tiring I found the plot. I'm not going to talk about the rubbish vulture costumes. I'm not going to talk about how much I despise Sarah Jane Smith. I'm not going to talk about how brilliant Matt was. And I'm not going to even mention how much I loved seeing Jo again. But I will say this: IAN AND BABS ARE IMMORTAL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I think I'm in shock.
