biichan requested commentary for the set of nine 200-word drabbles that is Such Spirit Through the Year. I rambled a bit, grumbled a bit, but overall it was a fun time. Feel free to ask about any of my fanfic, if you're interested (didn't expect any takers on this meme, actually).

( DVD Extra Meme: Commentary for Such Spirit Through the Year )

Title: Venusian Lullaby
Author: eponymous_rose
Word Count: 1021
Rating: PG
Characters: Third Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Author's Note: Crack-fic is reaching epic proportions, so I've gone with this instead - I meant to just fix it up based on the draft I had kicking around, but wound up rewriting it entirely insofar as it's salvageable. It may not be an obvious change, but my writing's shifted enough that I'm not really comfortable with anything written before January. Weird!
Spoilers: Set extremely early in the Third Doctor's era. Makes oblique references to The Scales of Injustice.

( The silence at night; the homes they never see. )

Title: Bright Star
Author: eponymous_rose
Word Count: 7,728
Rating: Light R or hard PG-13 (some sexual situations, mild violence, nothing terribly explicit)
Characters: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Luke Smith, First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Vicki, Third Doctor
Spoilers: Nonspecific references to "Marco Polo", "The Keys of Marinus", "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", "The Chase", "The Ark in Space", "Genesis of the Daleks", "The Brain of Morbius", and "Invasion of the Bane". Spoilerphobes should still be safe for all of the above.
Author's Note: Written for the Ian/Barbara ficathon at the_chestertons for minerva_fan, who requested a connection to later companions, romance, and a snow storm. Huge thanks to tigerkat24 for her wonderful beta! Snatches of poetry are by Keats.

Summary: Marshellian Paston's Fifteenth Theorem of Time Travel states that any two persons travelling through time are slightly more likely to meet from a probabilistic standpoint, within a margin of error described by a hypercube with complex dimensions.

( Ian, Barbara, and Sarah Jane Smith give Marshellian Paston something to write home about. )

Title: Higher Education (2/5)
Author: eponymous_rose
Word Count: 744
Rating: PG

Spoilers: Set soon enough after The Silurians that the Doctor still holds a considerable grudge.

Summary: The spaces between, the things the Doctor can do that nobody ever questions - the easier lessons learned amid the adventures and the danger.
