If you're still doing the WIP meme, I am intrigued by spain sexytimes angst

it's funny, this is the one that's only an outline without any real writing, but it's also one that I have no joke been thinking about on a near-daily basis for like 4 years now 😅

basically it's my exploration of how Serena and Bernie slowly work toward regaining the physical aspect of their relationship. cue lots of pining, awkward conversations, and trying until they get things very right in the end

What's a potential Berena fic plot that you would love to read but have never seen?

Practically every wip I never finished 😅

I have a half-finished Holby City / Grey's Anatomy fic in my draft that kind of started as a joke but that I'm now kind of invested in, and if I ever find the time to properly write again, I might actually finish this one. Though to be fair, Berena are not the main ship in this fic, they're already established, and they're trying to meddle a bit to get someone else coupled up 😄 I would love to read other people's takes on crossovers like this as well, though.

Another thing that I've been joking about wanting to write/read in the past were Star Trek AUs. Especially in a Mirror Universe setting with evil!Serena 😏

To be honest, I haven't looked at the berena tag on ao3 in a while, so I have no idea if anyone has written a Star Trek AU in the meantime. But I would absolutely love to read anything like that, mirror universe or not.

For the favorite fic ask: so hard to choose!!! 'what a lovely way to burn,' 'the good part comes between wanting and needing,' 'Three French Hens,' and '*batteries not included' definitely up there!!!

3 sentence ficathon: Berena, "doorway"

Caught up in the latest batch of paperwork to overtake her desk, Serena almost doesn’t hear the soft noise from the doorway.

Glancing up, her breath catches, surprise, sorrow, and a fierce sort of longing flitting across her face in rapid succession, before she manages to school her features into something she hopes approaches neutrality.

“Bernie,” she says softly.

Would you ever write the conversation where Serena comes out to Elinor, at or before the Christmas?

Hmmm, I’m honestly not sure. Like, if I had a fic idea set over that Christmas, I absolutely would - in fact, I’ve kind of written around it before.

On the other hand, I just dislike canon Elinor so much, that it’s hard for me to voluntarily put through Serena through that, y’know? I will say there is going to be a tough coming out convo with Ellie coming up in one of my fics, though that is very much AU.

fifteen romana!!

This was meant to have a plot I hadn't sorted out yet, but I got to the meetup and the porn, so arguably I've written the most important part of the fic. Anyway, this pairing definitely needs to exist, since to the best of my knowledge, it does not – and who are we even as a fandom without All Doctors/All Romanas?

-----

The Doctor doesn't expect to find Romana sipping coffee, no cream, four sugars – he can smell them – at a café on the Île St. Louis, but she's there nevertheless: ash blonde now, sagged cheeks, but eyes still bright and sharp.

"It's about time," she says, taking a final sip. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting? Ten minutes at least."

"You should be dead. The Master –"

"And you believed him?"

"I was a different person. Now …"

They stroll arm-in-arm to the TARDIS. Inside, he presses her against the wall; her kisses trail along his neck, her hands are busy at his waist, and her mind whispers alongside his in a way no one has since the Master. He comes pulsing into her fingers, breathless, overwhelmed, whirling as Romana's mental touch withdraws.

"Welcome back," she says.

"I could say the same about you." The tear that escapes tastes of salt and regret. "Stay," he says.

"Maybe," she replies, and for now, that's enough.
