The Episode Challenge is over - not that you can't keep writing episode-related fic for other challenges! Still, another month gone by, and you can find April's entries under the "challenge: episodes" tag, or just click here.

New challenge coming up in a moment!

Yikes, down to the wire. I may have to revise this later, but here it is on-time and intact, mostly.

Title: Cardiff, 1869
Author: magic_7_words
Challenge: Episodes
Rating: G
Pairing: unrequited Jack/Nine, I suppose*
Spoilers/Warnings: The Unquiet Dead, Bad Wolf/Parting of the Ways
Summary: A missing scene set just after "Parting of the Ways" and towards the end of "The Unquiet Dead." Timelines are funny like that.

*Like so much of my fic, I realized belatedly that this one had managed to sidestep any actual slash. However, it is very much centered around Jack's (unspoken) feelings for the Doctor, so I hope you all enjoy it nonetheless.


( Cardiff, 1869 )

This is the scene in The Doctor Dances after Rose went to bed.

( Jack-Nine manip )

Feel free to use them as a jumping-off point for this month's challenge, too - because this month, we're bringing you the Episode Challenge. Ep-tags, alternate endings, AUs - you name it. Write a fix-it, write the aftermath, write an interlude between eps - or an off-screen moment in the ep itself. We can't wait to see what you're going to come up with!

As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now. And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be!
