where there's smoke there's--

Copying and pasting everything I linked to on femslashficlets.

Some notes:
* some of these fics have been linked to my journals before
* another post will be made for a short series I intended to complete half of my table with (all the Clara and Me fics)
* not making another post here, but I will link most of the Doctor Who fics I wrote for this for dw100 and then posted to a LJ community that is on the Who Daily watch list
* posting everything first, adding tags later, then striking through this bit when everything’s done

THE BEST WOMAN...IN EVERY WAY

But who's keeping Heather’s heart safe from Bill?

Notes: Longer notes on AO3, but in short, this is a canon divergence AU set during "The Pilot."

Never mind, I forgot to friends-lock this before today's Who Daily update. Ignore what I had in this first paragraph of the post.

Earlier this year, I posted River's Five, which was supposed to be for dw_allsorts. Each chapter corresponded to a different prompt. I burned out on the fic and eventually finished that prompt table I grabbed from that comm with various ficlets and drabbles. My intent was to use parts of the fic for Het Big Bang (which prefers WIPs to not be on AO3 before their archive goes live), but that never materialized.

I decided to repost "River's Five" to AO3, since I've given up on finishing the fic and/or trying to edit what I have into a fic that's mostly made up of the older story. Here's the new link to the fic:

River's Five (3062 words) by merryghoul

Additional Tags: Abandoned Work - Unfinished and Discontinued, Robbery
Summary: River Song is planning a heist, and she needs Clara and Me's help. (Unfinished work that will not be updated or completed.)

Of course I would forget about this fic just in time to not forward date it so it can possibly be seen on AO3. My luck. But it's live, and I did go through my edits before posting the fic to AO3. Any errors remaining in the fic are my own.

hollymarchosias did art for me, independently from this bang. The artwork is now live on AO3.

I was going to do my Battlefield idea for Heroine Big Bang, but I didn't think I could even write 1.5 K with my idea. So I'm scrapping it. This would've been the introduction to it, although it doesn't seem like it:
