I sacrificed precious writing time to make a new header AND ISN'T SHE GLORIOUS.

I'D LIKE YOU ALL TO KNOW I DON'T HAVE A FECKIN TABLET ANYMORE. Don't even have a mouse. I had to magic-select those pixels off the touchpad on my laptop it was like a three-finger assault maneuver I WANT A MEDAL GODDAMMIT

anyway now that i have a little bushel of new icons and a new header (i really need to organise my tags but that will take all year) i have scratched that itch and can go back to writing.

i am soooo behind. don't fully know if i'll be able to do both AU series before pea's birthday next year but I will deffo feckin try to get the first one finished, at least.

( there is an ornament lost inside the night, there on a Christmas tree with a thousand lights; no one can see her, she's standing all alone; somewhere she glistens where no one can see )

Okay, so in my procrastination boredom I created my art masterlist; in doing so I realised there's a couple of doodles that have fallen by the wayside.

Nothing amazing, just cuteness.

( DOODLES )

Huggy fanart is complete after fours hours of struggling with skintone shading I swear to christ I'm never coloring anything ever again Tea is pleased. <3



( under the cut is an alternate background )

Now that both my arts are outta the way I can get back to ficcing. ;B

ETA: I totes forgot to cred!

Donna's dress is the work of the brilliant Meago, from her second collection. It's the cinnamon one on the second row.

I am in LOVE with those boots, can't you just see Donna striding about in them? <3

Title: Firestorm
Author: Tess/mihane_echo
Rating: Rated M for smut
Word Count: 3021

Summary: Donna knows the Doctor loves her. She just doesn't know whether he would ever tell her if he was feeling smothered by her.

Author's Note: This fic was originally for a challenge at yourpulseonmine waaay back in 2009 (the prompt was a picture of a match, just so's you know.) I was never satisfied with the ending and so this sat, incomplete but never forgotten, on my hard drive until now. Due to the nature of the yourpulseonmine community, it is, of course smut. Absolute undiluted unadulterated smutty sex. And due to my nature, it's hardcore shippy as well.

Happy Valentine's Day. <3

Author's Note: I've been working on this one for about ever. It was difficult to write because it taps into very personal and painful feelings for me, and so I had to keep coming back to it later. But here it is, at last. It's also probably the closest I come to friendshipper-friendly but let's face it folks, I write what I believe in: Ten/Donna for ever and always.

( Glimpses of You )

So here it is, the art meme I've been yammering about. It is my Valentine's present to my fellow 10/D fans, as I doubt I'll be able to finish the fic before Sunday. So you get squishy art instead. <3 Hope that's acceptable.

11 images under the cut. A couple are slightly big, sorry about that. My vanity wouldn't let me shrink them any further.

( there can be only one true pairing )

Happy Valentine's Day! <3333 ILY, flist!

Ho. Ly. Crap. Am I ever in an angsty mood.

Doing research for a fic, I found myself watching The Stolen Earth and Journey's End again and now I'm just in the mood to all-out wail my little head off.

I so need a fix of some good, barely-restrained Doctor/Donna angst fic. Like, visibly-upset or even crying Ten breaking up with Donna fic. (Er, not him breaking up with her. Her breaking up with him and him being incredibly distressed by it.)

Does such a thing even exist or am I going to have to write it myself? Its no fun if I have to write it myself. D;
