Title: "Emergent Properties"
Author: dameruth
Challenge: Pr0n
Characters: Ten/Jack
Series: "Flowers"
Rating: Adult
Spoilers: None, but part of an AU series.
Summary: The Doctor decides to try a little artificial love-life enhancement, and it's a weird ride even by Jack's standards.
WARNING: Possible biology/worm/parasite squick, according to my lovely beta, aibhinn .

Author's Notes: A while back, I wrote a drabble, "Learning Experience". Readers wanted to know what was in the little sphere, but I had no clue -- it was just a random McGuffin-y thing at that point. Then, when the current challenge came up here, I couldn't resist, er, fleshing out the idea. I wrestled with it for nearly a month, it ballooned into a huge (by my standards) 6,000+ words one-shot, and despite being more graphic than my usual, I'm not entirely sure it ended up as "pr0n" -- but I hope y'all enjoy it anyway! Continues this series's theme of alien!sex and science!porn; thanks to foalen and others for encouraging the addition of mind!sex. :)

Starts directly where "Learning Experience" ends, so it's probably best to read that snippet first.

Title: "On the Origin of Species"
Author: dameruth
Challenge: Infosharing
Characters: Ten/Jack
Series: "Flowers"
Rating: Adult
Spoilers: None, but part of an AU series.
Summary: Jack takes some time out to think about evolution and Time Lords.
Author's Notes: I've spent a lot of time thinking about the alternative Time Lord biology that's been developing in this AU series of mine, and took the current challenge as a chance to write it all up in semi-story format from Jack's POV. The discipline of Cladistic Psychology is entirely my own invention, but I like to think it would have a practical application in the Whoniverse; it makes sense to me, anyway, and I had fun with this little thought excercise. Also, to reward those who work their way through the biological-theory rambling, I've sweetened the end with a little applied biology (i.e. smut). ;)

Author's Notes: Whew! Just getting this in under the wire (I hope; with luck the cease-and-desist order won't come through while I'm typing this!). The first bit was sitting on my hard drive forever, and I really wanted to get this snippet finished so I could post it, now it was given a second chance!

Summary: Jack gets a Christmas visit from the Doctor.  Takes place after "Glass Houses" from the "crossing the lines" challenge.  Set in my AU "Flowers" series, but should be capable of standing alone.

Author: dameruth
Challenge: "Crossing the Lines"
Rating: PG
Spoilers/warnings: Slight ones for S1 of "Torchwood," I guess.
Summary: Ianto finds out something unexpected and unwelcome about Jack's personal life. 

EDIT -- decided to bump this one up to a PG, after due consideration.  Maybe it needs it, maybe it don't.

Title: "Another Fine Mess"
Author: dameruth
Challenge: "Crossing the Lines"
Rating: G
Spoilers/warnings: None that I can think of, though the initial premise is a slight play on recurring events up through "The Shakespeare Code" . . .
Summary: A snippet from my Ten/Jack/Rose AU reunion OT3 "Findersverse" series -- however, no knowledge of that background required, other than that it's those three characters traveling together, post-POTW and post-"Doomsday."   Jack and the Doc find themselves in a tight spot after irritating royalty, yet again.
