Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Summary: Sherlock wakes up in a hospital bed, Mycroft by his side.

I introduced a Tumblr friend to the UCG, and realized I hadn't done a post like this in quite awhile. Let's see what happens...

(DW, Once Upon a Time, Jane Austen. And anyone can grab these summaries)

675) The Marriage Market by Leigh Michaels
A wedding assignment?
Harry Sullivan loves running his own business, and finding a wife is far from the top of his agenda. But his friends are convinced they've found the perfect way to meet eligible women - too busy with their careers to play the dating game, they decide to throw a party and each invite two gorgeous, unattached females.
Sarah Jane Smith is surprised to be on the guest list, but not as stunned as Harry when he comes face-to-face with his biggest business rival — who happens to be far too arrogantly sexy for his peace of mind. Only, Sarah Jane seems convinced she can solve all Harry's "problems," professional and personal, with one proposition!
From career man... to corporate husband!

( Well if this isn't in the next Big Finish boxset... :P )

53)NOTHING BUT THE BEST by KRISTIN HARDY
When a gang of twenty-something women got together, men are always on the menu!
When a chance encounter with a mysterious sexy stranger leads to a night she’ll never forget. Independent Charlotte Pollard can’t believe her luck. Until the morning after, when the man in her bed turns into her company’s newest, sleekest executive. Not to mention she’ll be working with him to bring her latest, hippest designer clothing venture to life.
the Sixth Doctor can’t believe his bad luck. Hitting the sheets with the boss’s daughter isn’t the smartest move he’s ever made. Or is it? Charley’s beautiful, smart, sensual – there’s no lying about that. But she's used to the best..of everything, even men. Especially men. Can Six measure up?

( Six and Charley can work . Okay I want this one)

313) Desperately Seeking Heaven by Jill Steeples
Love always comes when you least expect it, at least that's what PA the Mistress tells herself as she looks forward to another Friday night of trash telly and wine-for-one. But what happens when the unexpected is daytime TV crush the Eleventh Doctor, and he's sitting on your couch watching the news...of the accident that claimed his life?
Soon, Missy finds her ordered life turned upside down by helping Eleven right the wrongs of his life so he can cross over to the ‘other side.' But most unexpected of all is Missy's growing realisation that her gorgeous ghost has taken up residence in her heart as well as in her home.

( :shrug: Not personally my kind of thing, but if I poke AO3 hard enough, you think I'll find this already?)

403) THREE DAY NIGHT - TORI PHILLIPS
THE WHITE ROSE OF YORK WAS NO HOTHOUSE FLOWER
Nay, Sir Edward Ferrars was a long-stemmed charmer with a dangerous secret of royal proportions. But for a chance to claim him as her promised groom, Amy Pond would fight the hounds of hell... !
Though plots and plans and barking dogs seemed to pursue the Countess of Thornbury wherever she went, Edward knew he'd found a champion. Mayhap Amy Pond was not what people expected, but the gentle dame had become his heart's desire.

(Hmmm, don't know the guy here. But this one's intriguing...)

163) Familiar Adversaries by Patricia Thayer
Thanks to a decades-old family feud, the Third Doctor knew Charlotte's daddy would never let his precious daughter anywhere near a Doctor - especially the no-good Doctor boy he'd run off years ago. So what's the grown-up beauty now doing on Three's construction site, stirring up way more trouble than she can possibly handle?
One thing for sure, this time Three wouldn't let anyone run him off. And after working closely with Charlotte Lucas, he knew that he'd better get ready for the battle of his life. Because he was going to roll up his sleeves and do whatever it took to make his way-too-familiar adversary...his beloved wife!

( see above)

402) ONCE A PLAYBOY - KATE HARDY
Adrenalin junkie aristocrat Rumplestiltskin is used to relationships as short and as sweet as the thrills he seeks. But, when an accident puts him in the care of physiotherapist and single mum Snow White, being bed-bound suddenly seems more than appealing! Rumplestiltskin may be a risk-taker… but letting Snow White and her little girl into his heart will be his biggest challenge ye

( *snerk* "Adrenaline junkie" is not a phrase I'd use for him! Also, I have Questions)

275) The Boss’s Forbidden Secretary by Lee Wilkinson
Inexperienced secretary – bedded by the boss! Ruthless businessman Rumplestiltskin has discovered the woman he bedded is already married – he's furious! Cautious Zelena was just trying to help out her sister by posing as her wife, but now she's in over her head. The stranger she spent one perfect night with is her new boss! When Rumplestiltskin learns the truth he's intrigued. His unworldly secretary is out of her depth – and Rumplestiltskin is all for going in at the deep end...

(and now we get Makes Too Much Sense!)

315) Killer Affair by Cindy Dees
A plane crash had left Cora stranded, with a tropical storm approaching and a serial killer on the loose. And it had brought her close — far too close — to the most compelling, most sensual man she had ever encountered.
She knew there were dark, unspoken secrets in the Master's past. And yet she agreed to masquerade as his lover to try and trap the murderess stalking these once peaceful islands. But their charade of passion quickly flared out of control, until it was as real and as powerful as the rising storm — and made them the target of a madwoman's deadly rage...

(Oh wow, Cora and the Master... hmmm...)

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.

This Week's Question: Does anyone have any plans for making Christmas gifts or cards?

If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Hello, everyone. I’m

simplyn2deep and today's theme is Moments that Change Everything. Prompts can be anything related to exploring moments that create change. Write about a decision, accident, or brief encounter that shifts a character’s path in an unexpected way.

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get the ball rolling...
+ any, any, character takes a wrong turn, literally or metaphorically, and it leads them somewhere they were never meant to be, but maybe exactly where they need to be.
+ any, any, your character arrives five seconds after something major happens.
+ any, any, character says a small, seemingly insignificant “yes” (to coffee, to staying late, to helping a stranger).

We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3 please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this new option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so…and spread the word! comment_fic

So to combat the general feelings that we're rapidly heading into he'll in a handbasket I'm attempting December's 31 days of gratitude challenge.

Pretty simple rules:

Commit to writing in a gratitude journal daily for 31 days in December. Just 5-10 minutes each day listing what you're thankful for can transform your mindset, improve relationships, and boost happiness. No special skills needed — just a notebook and willingness to appreciate life.

* Write Daily: spend 5-10 minutes writing 3-5 things you're grateful for each day.

* Be Specific: instead of "I'm grateful for my family," write "I'm grateful for my sister's encouraging text today."

* Feel It: don't just list items - truly connect with the feeling of gratitude as you write.

* Mix It Up: include big things and small moments, people, experiences, and personal qualities.

* By hand: write it in a dedicated journal or on a piece of paper by hand. The physical act of writing is important here.
