Chapter Eighteen:  Recovering

My mother is brilliant, rising to the occasion in ways I have never suspected she had in her. She is strong and she is caring and she is protective and fierce. All things that have been projected at me in my lifetime, have found new homes in the people she helps. She shows organizational skills I never knew she possessed.

Chapter Nineteen:  Passion

I struggle to breathe, pulling my mouth away for seconds to snatch air into my lungs before returning my lips to his. My hands go up to that beautiful thick thatch of crazy brown hair on his head and run through it. How many times have I longed to feel that silk between my fingers this way and finally, finally I am able?

Chapter Twenty:  Monster in the Rubble

“A Dalek? A Dalek here?” If there is one thing that could cool the Doctor’s ardor, or for that matter mine, it is that word. Dalek. Think about that word just for a moment. It starts out hard, it ends hard, and it has no right to have the softness of the L there in the middle that way, for there is nothing soft about a Dalek. Nothing at all.

Chapter Twenty-one:  Home

“Rose?” it grates out. “Rose?”

“What?” I manage when I recover from my shock, but my heart does not stop pounding in my ears. I feel the adrenaline dump into my system and every human instinct I have screams for me to run. I stay still.

To Call Our Own (5/36)

Chapter Five:  Plauge

The TARDIS materialized in the middle of the Dirsan city of Reeven, the capital city and home of the throne. At any other time the ship would have drawn notice appearing as it had in the center of the town square, but at this time and in this place not one head poked out of a doorway to see what the strange noise was. No one noticed them as they stepped out into what should have been a bustling marketplace.

To Call Our Own (6/36)

Chapter Six:  Blood Serum

Vandarian stood above the sleeping form of his five-year-old daughter Neralta. She had been in the first stage of the plague for six days, which should have been biologically impossible. He wasn’t good at science, not nearly as good as his son, but he knew this wasn’t right. First stage only lasted for two days. And yet, there she lay; her tiny face covered with lesions that did not fill, did not burst. She burned with the fever, far higher than any other reported case he knew of, her white hair clinging to her with sweat. But she did not progress, she did not die.

I've Lost My Focus

Pretty ironic, given I have focus in my name.  It's one of those scatterbrained days and by all rights it shouldn't be because I have nothing to distract me.  DH asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and I said to have the day to myself.  So he took the kids to visit his mom.  I guess three weeks of having him gone and it just being me and the kids with no break had really built up my stress levels,  and for a lot of the day I've just been vegging out reading and doing a little editing.  Well, and watching mindless TV, something I don't do usually ever.  I go days without even turning the TV on.  I also got caught up on my sleep for the first time in ages.

I'm resisting finishing up the next chapter of Devastate because it hurts writing it.  I've fiddled a bit with ch. 12 of Hunger Moon.  I've thought about doing a picspam to shake me out of the blahs, but then I don't want to go to that much work at the moment.  I think I need to go hunt up some good DW crack!fic to shake my doldrums away, Doctor/Rose or Doctor and Donna.  Anybody got any suggestions?
