I am very very very tired - got up sixish following a very unsettled night and spent several hours race-marshalling on Queen's Green. (Got up before my AO3 kudos email! that is my definition of early.) It's for charity, it was good fun if freezing cold, and there were literally more than a thousand runners - it seemed very much like every local business and every university faculty had a team, which made for a feeling of general camaraderie if very unwieldy team names. (It's quite difficult to shout, "Go, go South Cambridgeshire District Council!" but people womanned up and did it.) Work had four teams. I stood there in my high-vis and attempted not to yawn.

Anyway. I am tired and trying hard not to fall asleep. To that effect, let's do this, nabbed from fahye:

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)

1. genderswap
2. bodyswap
3. drunk!fic
4. huddling for warmth
5. pretending to be married
6. secretly a virgin
7. amnesia
8. cross-dressing
9. forced to share a bed
10. truth or dare
11. historical AU
12. accidental-baby-acquisition
13. apocalypse fic
14. telepathy
15. High School/College AU

I should probably warn you I'll just end up writing you snippets. My fandoms are all listed on my AO3 page.

edited to add: haven't seen yesterday's Doctor Who. So anything but that but things related to yesterday, I mean. Doctor Who in general is fine!

Fic(lets):

for philomytha, Aral and Simon and telepathy

for ladymercury_10, Amy/Rory, huddling for warmth

Doctor/River, huddling for warmth.
(Belated edit: obviously this does not have to include last night's Doctor Who in the slightest.)

Yay for race marshalling, although not for being tired. A while ago I was on a water stand for a local half-marathon that the charity I work for was involved in, and it is good fun, even if it involves getting up at the crack of dawn. (There's another race that we organise in a few weeks; I am thinking about volunteering, although it would probably involve getting up at 6.)

love in a cold climate

Of course it is entirely River's fault that they end up on an ice planet - an ice planet! - in a cave huddling together to avoid being vapourised by angry ammonia-breathing people with energy discharge weapons.

"It is not!" River spits. "You're the one who said we should go on a relaxing adventure somewhere warm and then had the TARDIS bring us to a planet going through an ice age and a global war."

"I do think it's a misunderstanding," the Doctor says, earnestly. "They aren't different species. They're just different political factions, it's something in their physiology that responds to cultural and institutional change. It's terribly interesting."

"Doctor," River says exasperatedly, and they fall silent for a while. "Doctor, you know you can just ask, right? You don't have to take us to twentieth-century Antarctica or planets orbiting cold suns or Two Hundred And Seventy Below, World's Most Masochistic Fairground Ride. You can just…"

She nips at his ear, and whispers, "Ask."

"Oh," says the Doctor, then wriggles. "But this is just, coincidental…"

"Own your kinks, Doctor," River says, and kisses him.

Aw. Be upfront about your desires, Doctor! River isn't going to judge you.

"I do think it's a misunderstanding," the Doctor says, earnestly. "They aren't different species. They're just different political factions, it's something in their physiology that responds to cultural and institutional change. It's terribly interesting."

Oh, Doctor. Interesting intellectually, yes, but maybe not the key issue when you're trying to stay alive.

Thank you for this.
