Doctor Who Femslash February, Day 22 Prompt- Crossover @doctorwho-femslashfeb

Rose was stuck, stuck in a universe that was not her own. With a dimension canon that was taking longer to charge since the energy source was different here so the canon needed time to transfer the energy into something useable.

Sadly, she couldn't become a hermit in this universe. She needed a source of income and with her unique powerset it meant that joining a guild would probably be the best for her.

Enter; Fairy Tail. It was much easier to join than she would've initially thought. She just walked in, said she wanted join, they'd had her fill out a few papers, and then she got her guild mark in her chosen spot and color. (A deep blue on her collarbone.)

And it seemed that once more, she was in another universe where there wasn't another version of her. It was strange but a fact that she'd grown used to. There never was another version of her. Either because Pete and Jackie never had any children, they did but Jackie miscarried or the child died young, or they did have a version of her but it was a guy.

Rose was more then used to this fact. Just as she was used to people flirting with her, like Loke did. She knew he never meant any of it, could see it in his eyes which carried a weight of untold regrets. A weight that she was familiar with, after all, she saw it every time she looked in the mirror.

So she bantered with him, maybe flirted a little. She knew that in the end it would only lead to pain on one or both of their ends. After all, she could see the timelines of those who have lived a long time or will live a long time. Though Rose doesn't use this particular ability often, especially with those she chooses to interact with, too much knowledge of what will come can be dangerous.

And so it's easy to fall into a role, another mask to add to her ensemble. Because she is nothing if not adaptable. Act younger then she is, alter her appearance just a bit to make her look a bit older then what Bad Wolf made her look. Kind, but not naïve. There are a million and one things to make up this mask. The mask of Rose Prentice, 24 year old who has an unknown magic but is so incredibly sweet.

She's talented at making masks, it comes with living for hundreds of years and she wonders if the Doctor was like that too. If he's still like that, masking who he really is. But she knows he didn't do it with her, the TARDIS made sure to leave just a small enough link between her and the Doctor to know.

But that's not important. What is important is the fact that Natsu brought a new potential member in who looks so fascinated by the guild. Rose allows herself just the barest peek at the girl's timeline. Enough to gather how she should act around her and treat her.

She tilts the drink back in her hand, just a small bit of alcohol left in the cup as she stands. The girl- wait no, woman. The woman is talking with Mira about how to become part of the guild and Mira easily gives her the forms.

Rose casually sits next to her as she fills out the form. Neat handwriting a strike contrast to most of the guild's nearly illegible scrawl. She watches as the lasts of the forms are filled out. A neat swish that was clearly taught to her and had her memorize it until she could do it without thinking ending the paper.

Rose sipped on the remains of her drink casually as though she wasn't paying attention to the woman beside her. And yet she watches her out of the corner of her eye as she nervously waves down Mira and hands over the forms. Rose can practically see the thoughts running through her head as Mira takes the forms back.

And this is the perfect chance to introduce herself, "Hello."

Best to start simple, and yet the woman still jumps, it makes Rose furrow her brow as she quickly thinks back to what she'd seen. Until- ah.

She alters her voice to be softer, more kind. Rose lets part of her past self bleed into her voice, "Sorry, I uh- didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to let you know that Mira is just going back to archive the submission and make sure that most things check out. Oh! I'm Rose by the way, Rose Prentice. You are?"

It's a way for the woman to become comfortable and Rose can tell she's done a good job by the way her shoulders release the tension that was in them. The tension that seemed to be at home there, "I'm Lucy. Does she uh, have to check everything?"

Lucy's voice tilts up at the end- nervousness Rose realizes so she rushes to reassure her, "Nope. Say if you only put first name but no last, she won't ask. After all, we've got more then our fair share of people who don't want their past to find them.

A relieved sigh slips past Lucy's lips as she seems to become more energized, "So! What kind of magic do you use?"

Allowing a smirk to make itself on her face she says, "Don't know. My magic doesn't have a name, far as anyone can tell I'm the only one with this type." let a tinge of bitterness slip into her voice at the end, make it seem like that upsets her. Then change the subject, "What about you?"

Lucy, seeming to sense the fact that she wished to change the subject happily explains that she using Celestial Magic. How she makes contracts, and when Rose inquires about if the spirits are free to create a contract or can they refuse? Lucy seems to immediately know what she's asking and is in vehement protection of the fact that if a spirit does not wish to make a contract then they are more then free to refuse and people who force contracts are horrid.

Maybe this dimension won't be so bad after all.

the zambian investment series: the LuSE

what the LuSE is: the lusaka securities exchange — established in 1993 as part of the economic liberalisation and privatisation programme of the chiluba era. a regulated marketplace for equity and debt securities.

listed companies (approximately 22 as of mid-2026): zambia sugar (ZSUG), zanaco (ZANACO), lafarge zambia (LAFZ), standard chartered bank zambia (SCBL), and ZCCM investments holdings (ZCCM-IH) — giving investors equity exposure to zambia's copper sector.

the investment case: (1) valuation — frontier-market multiples mean quality businesses acquired at prices reflecting risk premiums rather than fundamental earnings power. (2) economic exposure — the most direct capital markets exposure to zambia's domestic economic growth. (3) dividends — several listed companies have historically paid favourable yields. (4) strategic positioning — a frontier market most global investors have not yet reached.

the liquidity challenge: daily trading volumes are a fraction of what institutional investors consider adequate. limited free float. imperfect price discovery. high transaction costs. exit at scale constrained.

the LuSE is not yet the capital market that zambia's economy warrants. it is on an upward trajectory. the zambian company listed today at frontier-market valuations may be the regional champion of tomorrow.

the zambian investment series continues. 🇿🇲💰

the zambian investment series: the lusaka stock exchange

what the LuSE is: established in 1993 as part of zambia's post-liberalisation economic reforms. 20 listed companies as of april 2025. market capitalisation approximately ZMW 276.7 billion (US$9.8 billion) as of april 2025, rising to approximately ZMW 335.5 billion (US$18.9 billion) as of june 2026.

the listed companies: copperbelt energy corporation, ZCCM investment holdings, zambia sugar, zanaco, standard chartered bank zambia, airtel networks zambia, lafarge, zambia breweries, puma energy, real estate investments zambia. in january 2022, the LuSE topped the list of the best performing exchanges in africa with a 93.2% gain.

the milestones: the GEM portal launched in march 2022, providing startups and SMEs with access to funding. zero withholding tax on interest from investment in green bonds introduced september 2022. the LuSE has listed one green bond exceeding $150 million on CEC, raising funds for the itimpi solar power station.

december 2025 — the landmark IPO: dot com zambia PLC listed on the LuSE alt-M. the IPO was oversubscribed by 114% and closed one week ahead of schedule, attracting strong retail participation — the first-ever listing on the LuSE's alternative market. dot com zambia's revenues reached ZMW 528.9 million in 2024, compared to ZMW 214 million the year before.

march 2026: klapton re listed on the LuSE. copperbelt energy corporation became the first LuSE-listed company to reach USD 1 billion in market capitalisation.

the LuSE received the pan finance award for securities exchange of the year 2025 and most innovative multi-asset trading platform.

the domestic capital market is not as large, as liquid, or as diversified as zambia's economy ultimately warrants. but it is growing, it is innovating, and it is increasingly accessible.

the investment case for zambia is not only a foreign direct investment case. it is also, increasingly, a capital markets case.

the zambian investment series continues. 🇿🇲💰

I got my envoy some higher tier robes, and she's looking even nerdier than before.

It's not canon for this extremely nerdy and somewhat naive envoy with too much magic potential bubbling under the surface. But I am really enjoying the fact you can have two different weapon loadouts. So her backup weapons are straight up two guns. My next character is going to 100% be a gunslinger of some kind.
