my five year plan? read a lot of books. visit museums. walk through woods. stand in a river. adopt a little kitty. drink lemonade while sitting in a rocking chair on my porch.

this isn’t all that there is!!! there are sunsets you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, things you haven’t learned, food you haven’t tried, and places you haven’t visited. life is so much more than what you’re experiencing right now, and there will always be new things coming. there’s so much more out there for you!!

Now that I've finished two novel-length stories in this series....

Here is 127,000 words of Doctor Who x Quantum Leap crossover fanfiction.

- Largely compatible with canon for both properties

- Original stories. Very little rehashing of things that happened in the shows, only what's necessary

- Proudly cringe

Please enjoy:

Content warnings: everything is canon typical. Sexual content is minimal. There's not even swearing 🤷

Some body horror, a couple of deaths. Mostly hopeful and fun.

Third story to be written later, to round it out.

Roughly half through the first one right now, and it is absolutely everything I wanted out of a ql/dw crossover! The stakes & shenanigans are the perfect mix of wacky and intense and the characters (especially sam & al) are absolutely on point.

Example below (slight spoilers):

just because someone is your favorite character doesnt mean theyd have the same moral alignment as you. wheatley from portal wouldnt say "my pronouns are he/him, thank you for asking!" hed say "what uhh. what does that mean. um. you mean the nouns im most "pro" at is that what youre saying? i like to think im pretty pro,, at all nouns really. umm lets see... apple, kazoo, bubble, happy, door, umm... cake. not too fond of cake really i think its alright but. not my Favorite. if it were up to me though id eat a whole cake in one sitting. if i were a human. not a human, clearly. also not sure if id, know what cake even tastes like. if i tried it. no tastebuds. no Mouth... no. hole. anywhere on my body. haha um,, well anyways id. id say im pretty Pro Nouns. dont see why anyone wouldnt be... what? you mean what i Go By? what do you. ohhhh. ummm. the male ones. the male pronouns. if i can remember what they are... definitely the ones for guys. manly men. like me. pretty sure im a man,,," and you need to accept this

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

The adventures of a space roomba

Cinderella finding Araura (and falling in love)

I don’t know a snappy description but the my nemesis cynthia story certainly lives in my head

I am in love with you /p

Saw this and went out looking for Different Stories Resonate with Different People ("eat shit and die 233"). The #1 tumblr story I think of (maybe tied with Arepo) and none of yall list it

just curious if there's a consensus here so:

Specifically THEME music, this isn't about the rest of the soundtrack (or the rest of the campaign for that matter). I’m excluding Balance both so as not to bias the results, and cuz the theme’s not original music.

Linky links under the cut in case anyone needs a refresher (listen to all of them before voting if you can!) Also feel free to listen to them all and vote even if ur not in the fandom! ^^

Word find tag (tear, pause, miss, smoke)

I don't usually do tag posts like these but this one looked fun, thanks @amielbjacobs for the tag!

Tear:

He sat up with a groan and pulled on the canvas leg of his trousers; it came apart along a ragged tear in the cloth that’d gone unnoticed among the muck.

Pause:

Glicht stopped his scrubbing. “One of Slonden’s." He set the brush in his lap and turned to face Lohak more plainly. “How’d you find me?” “What do you mean? I just asked around. You track fairly easily.” “You use my name?” Lohak pressed his midhands together, sliding his fingers over one another, a soft scraping sound. He said, “No.” “You’re sure?” Another pause. “No.”

Miss:

“What’s your next step?” Lohak asked. “If I head home, where are you going?” “I miss the part where that’s relevant.” “It’s relevant to you, isn’t it?” “Go home.”

Smoke:

The darkness meant either no one was home or they were intended to think so. It was musty, lingering fragrances of candlesmoke and cooked vegetables fighting one another, all of it illuminated by what moonlight slitted through the chimney-hole knocked in the scrimshaw ceiling.

Tagging: YOU 🫵
