Rating: G
Original/Fandom: Original
Pairings (if any): None
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con/etc): None
Summary:"Tell me, did you enter The Game with a specific game plan in mind?"

"Everyone says I came here with a game plan. That isn't true. Some people certainly entered with personal game plans. Others arrived saying they only wanted to have fun and faced their captors without anger or regret.

"I can be any piece you need me to be. I take my voted position seriously. Every time. I have been every single piece you see on this board, excepting one.

"Tonight I will take on my role as that final piece. I have never lost our game. I don't survive out of choice but through inherent skill I could not fight before.

Tonight, my capture will end the game for us all."

Challenge #28: Drabble a Day - 1 (Legendary)

Title: Ariadne Wakes
Word Count:110
BONUS: Yes
Rating: G
Original/Fandom: Greek myth
Pairings (if any): Ariadne/Theseus.
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con/etc): none
Summary: Ariadne awakes alone and wishes she could dream.

Ariadne opened her eyes to meet the burning sun. Feeling great pain, she cast her gaze to other quarters of the brightening sky. Ariadne saw two white birds. Shadows clouding her vision forced her to look away again as one flew towards the sun.

She closed her eyes and hoped to dream. Instead she remembered. Ariadne played with Icarus in her airy, labyrinthine dancing ground. With her brother's birth it became a sealed, stifling, sunless prison.

Last night she aided in the slaughter of her beloved monstrous brother to win herself a visiting hero.

Ariadne stood. The white sail fell from her body. She finally found her fearful voice.

"Theseus?"

Drabbles 9 and 10

The 9th and 10th Drabbles for the Drabble Tree challenge at writerverse. I didn't write 15 drabbles in the end due to spending last weekend in Cardiff for a roleplaying event and coming back with a massive cold. Still Cardiff was ace and the two Doctor Who games I played in were fantastic! And me managing to write 10 drabbles is not an achievement to be sniffed at (ha!).

Another Sixth Doctor and Charley drabble

I forgot to post this drabble here when I wrote it. My second Doctor Who drabble from October 2010.

Title: Gaping Chasm of Doom
Characters: Sixth Doctor and Charley Pollard
Rating: G
Summary: The Doctor and Charley on the edge

------

"A large, gaping chasm of doom?" she asked, smile barely contained. “I suppose we’ll be leaping into it before too long.”

Squinting at the distant smudge of blue, he tried to reassure them both. "It's an illusion, my girl. Merely an illusion. I shouldn’t think there’s any depth to it."

Charley stared at the Doctor. Nonsense and riddles. Still talking like himself, even when he wasn't. Hand in hand, they strode over the edge. Straight down to the bottom. Black rock melted into worryingly boring brick.

The Doctor frowned, speaking curtly. "Come along, Charlotte. We’re not finished yet."

Sixth Doctor and Charley drabble

Title: Now, Miss Smith, or Miss Pollard...
Characters: Sixth Doctor and Charley Pollard
Rating: G
Spoilers: None

A drabble set after Big Finish Sixth Doctor play 'The Condemned'. The Doctor senses that his new travelling companion is deceiving him and has resolved to question her.

------

"Now, Miss Smith, or Miss Pollard, or however-it-is that you want me to refer to you today, we need to have a few words about your mysterious origins."

Charley froze at the sound of this new, or rather, old Doctor’s imperious tone. He meant it this time.

“I’m just a bit confused about it all,” she blustered. “Gosh, this strange, alien man rescues me and asks me questions I have no way to answer...”

The Doctor shushed her. "I think, perhaps, we better stop there, Charlotte, or else I may begin to think that the lady doth protest too much."
