Prompt of the Month #6: March 2011

[thisbluespirit]

The result of the poll was overwhelmingly in favour of not having winners (and also ticky boxes were popular, so feel free to include a ticky box in your entries...), so, the usual rules apply, and here goes:

I thought it best to have a Brigadier-related prompt rather than the usual random one; hope nobody minds this once (and it was certainly an idea I'd have put on here anyway).

Prompt of the Month

From lost_spook: The Brigadier in other eras, or other eras with the Brigadier.

When I went looking for Brigadier fic recs the other day, I wanted one for each Doctor/era if possible. (One, of course, might be an exception, but all the rest would be around, yes?) But I found nothing very accessible (in my hasty search - I'm sure I missed things!) for Two, Five, Six or Eight. This is terrible. Please amend at once! I can't at the moment, so I offer this up here hopefully.

As usual, please interpret as loosely as you wish, (but I will be especially happy to see any of the 'missing' Doctors or their companions). Brief encounter, or multi-era madness, all is good.

Rules of the challenge
Fics can be as short or as long as you like. Please post wherever you wish but link back to this post via the comnents (if short enough, comment!fic is fine). The resulting fics/links will be collected together in a post once the challenge closes on Sunday 27th March 2011.

I will post a reminder before then.

There will be banners or icons for anyone taking part. (I'm sure I can make them appropriately Brig-themed.)

(Obviously, the normal business of the comm will continue and all prompts are open for adoption.)

Fic: Things That Did Not Happen In 2011

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

I come bearing fic. Possibly drawerfic (i.e. the sort of thing one ought to leave in a drawer instead of posting it), but it's what I was working on, and I don't think I'll have anything else relevant.

This is Brig!death fic, so I am whiting it out with my newly acquired knowledge of how to white out spoilers... it is inspired by calapine's excellent "School Reunion" tag His Story (http://calapine.livejournal.com/283748.html). Mostly.

300-ish words, gen, warning for major character death. Characters: Nine, Jamie, Zoe (whence it fits the prompt well - Second Doctor companions), reference to the Brigadier. One of my odd little character studies with no actual dialogue.

End Brig!deathfic. I should take this opportunity to thank Russell T. Davies for at least doing some things right and making part of this fic possible, and lost_spook for inspiring one of the lines.

Oh, that is not the sort of thing that ought to stay in a drawer! I'm so glad you posted. I know I said I was not keen on Brig!death fic, but I liked that. I liked the idea of the post-Time War bender of grief, as being the only moment when he would actually do something like that. Thanks for posting.

That should definitely NOT stay in a drawer! It's excellent work - well done.
