One Life to Live Drabble. Todd Manning's letter to a comatose Evangeline Williamson
Wow, that was powerful.
At first, I wondered if Todd could be this mature and introspective, but then I remembered that this is the man he is with Evangeline. I think Blair brings out the impulsive asshole (nothing wrong with that. I fell in love with impulsive asshole Todd way back in the day) but Evangeline was a factor in the brief glimpse of mature!Todd we got after he was released from prison.
This is exactly what people are talking about when they say Tangie was an opportunity for both characters to grow and evolve.
A Doctor Who/Supernatural Crossover: When Dr. Martha Jones hits a rough patch in her life (her fiancée's been stepping out on her and her confidence in her job performance is waning) she calls on her best friend, The Doctor, to sprint her away, losing herself in promises of far off galaxies and fantastic new worlds. It’s a trip she’s taken before. Only this time, she’s suddenly ripped away from the TARDIS and tossed into a strange car with an even stranger (though admittedly very attractive) man at the wheel, ranting about his missing brother and evil demons. Which was all very ridiculous, because everyone knew that demons weren’t real.
Were they?
Dean Winchester was having a pretty good night for once. He and his brother Sam had killed a nasty demon in record time, and he’d been settling in for an evening of cold beer and hot women. So when his brother disappeared inside some kind of bright light, to say he was irritated would definitely an understatement. He had no idea where Sam was, or how to find him. And now he had some crazy (though very hot) British chick yaking about aliens and time machines, like that stuff was real.
It’s not, is it?
This story is awesome. Martha and Dean are two of my favourite characters. After seeing a few Martha/Dean short fics here and there I've longed for something longer and plottier and here it is!
The thought of Lilith and the Master pulling strings and maybe working together is cool. I can't wait to read more.
Thanks luckybrans,
Martha and Dean are favorites of mine as well, along with the Doc and Sam. I'm not even sure how I came up with this idea, I hadn't read any fics on the shows then. I think I just wanted Freema to guest star on the show, maybe play Bella instead of the chick they actually cast. (who is now fired ).
Anyway, thanks so much for reading this, and leaving your review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedThat was brilliant. Martha and Dean's banter is excellent. I laughed out loud when he told her how sexy he was. The Master's comment at the end was also pretty funny.
I'm excited to see what happens next. I'm happy that Martha is at the center of the story and not just the sidekick.
Hey Luckybrans!
Glad you liked this, especially the banter. I wanted them to be entertaining without being obnoxious about it. :) And Dean is damn sexy, isn't he?
Martha is definately the center of this fic, I wanted this to be her story first and foremost.
Thanks so much for reading and leaving the review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedDean brings the lolz with that comment about the chopped up dead girl. Bobby is awesome as always. And Donna! She makes everything more fun.
I'm curious to know what exactly is being planned by Lilith and the rest. Supernatural beings and evil Time Lords can't meaning anything good.
Dean is pretty damn fun to write as are Bobby and Donna. I love writing everybody actually, it's just awesome.
Glad to know your interested in the overall plan, that's gonna be a gradual reveal I think. And you're dead on about demons and timelords, nothing but trouble. ;)
Thanks for so much for the review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedWow, that was great.
I love that Sam is going through what Martha did with the Doctor. Now Martha is the ideal, and, from my end, that's wonderful.
Did I detect a bit of Sam/Donna there? I wouldn't mind seeing that.
I love Jack showing up. I love that man.
Martha/Dean is hot. That is all.
Hey Luckybrans, I'm so happy you liked this one. Sam is exactly where Martha was, which is kinda fun to play with. And Sam/Donna, well I can't begin to describe how much fun I had writing those two together.
And I heart Jack, especially when he shows up on Doctor Who. And glad you're feeling Martha/Dean too.
Thanks so much for the review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedThis is getting deep. I think I'm going to have to go reread some parts to get a clearer sense of what's going on. That said, I still love Dean's one liners. The one about his big manly gun had me laughing. Bobby still remains awesome, as do Jack and Donna.
I'm loving this because I can't see where it's going to end up. The use of DW and Supernatural mythology makes it impossible for me to guess and keeps me on the edge of my seat.
Hey luckybrans,
The plot is a little topsy turvy at the moment, which is slightly intentional. And using both shows is an interesting challange, but one I'm really enjoying at the moment.
Thanks so much for reading, I'm glad you liked this chapter. I hope you like the next one too, hopfully things will start to clear up a bit as it goes on.
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI have to say that I hate you just a little bit for not giving me my Martha/Dean sexing, but it's all good. It'll come in time and so will they. ;)
I can't wait to see how this all fits together. The planet being afraid of Sam means that the demon world trumphs the scientific. You can have planets that are alive but that at the end of the day there's some serious mystical stuff out there to be afraid of.
I'm loving your Donna and Dean voice. They're spot on. I could hear Catherine Tate in my head as I readand visualize her doing this little gestures.
Can't wait till the next update.
Sorry about the sexing..I know it's been seven chapters...I didn't want it to happen quite yet. But soon I promise, very soon. And thanks for commenting on the mythology stuff, I think that's been the hardest for me to write in this fic. And you hearing Catherine Tate is awesome, I love her and Donna, and I picutre her everytime I write this. :)
Thanks so much for the reveiw!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI had a big grin on my face while I was reading this. The mystery is deepening around Martha and I love it.
“Boy, don’t make me cut you.”
I love Bobby, just love him. I love how much of a good father figure he is. Ellen is a great mother figure too. I think she is who Mary might have been had she survived and had to deal with the supernatural.
Adding Jack to the mix made me grin too. I'm imagining Ellen/Jack now because that would be awesome. I can also imagining him hitting on Bobby because he'd just have to.
So basically Sam has the same powers as Lilith. Interesting. I wonder what her connection to the YED is then.
I can't wait for the next part.
Heh, I think the easiest people for me to write are Bobby and Ellen, have no idea why. I always liked Ellen's role on the show, I seriously hope they bring her back this season. Jack always makes me smile, and yes, he'd probably sex up that entire house. But I always loved his relationship with Martha on the show.
Glad you picked up on the Sam/Lilth thing, wasn't sure how clear that was. It's so odd writing that part now that the seaon's started, Sam is mighty different now then he is in my fic. And that's such a good thing...:)
Thanks for reading lucky!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI can't believe this is over. It was a damn brilliant story. Martha becoming a Timelord was different (imho) and a nice ending. Martha showed she was a capable heroine throughout the stoy and I appreciate that.
I'll take a moment to squee about Time travelling, space hunting Martha!
The ending was really nice. not overly romantic or too angsty. Yes, Dean will die and she'll have to continue on wihtout him but at least they were probably happy together for a while.
“Men and their toys. You think this was his bloody cock, the way he rubs that panel all day long.”
This is why I will always love your Donna. So blunt and to the point.
“Can’t resist a victory kiss, especially one like that. The things that woman can do with her tongue. And that was just in my mouth…”
And this is why I love your Jack. Him and Ellen are hot even if she finds him annoying. The sex between them would be terrific.
I can't believe it either, it's gonna feel strange not updating this story any more. But I'm so glad you enjoyed the wrap up and Martha becoming a bad assed demon hunting Time Lord. As she should be. :)
Glad you liked the ending, I felt like so much had happened toward the end that that last part should just kind of fade out. And you're right, we pretty much knows what happens after that. Martha's alone.
Jack and Ellen sex would be aweome, and painful I think. But in a good way. :)
Thank you so much for your reviews lucky, they really meant a lot when I was writing this fic!

Days of Our Lives: When her marriage falls apart yet again, Lexie Carver decides she’s had enough. Tired of trying to live down the DiMera family name, and the sordid history that comes along with it, she decides to live her life the way she wants, on her terms. And when a very sexy and very young Philip Kiriakis confesses a long held crush, Lexie makes the impulsive decision to throw caution to the wind. And after all, it’s just one night.
No one has to know.
This chapter was hot. I loved Phllip being bold, sexy, and a more than a bit dirty.
Lexie is going to a place I thought she should've gone in a long time ago on the show. She's a DiMera she should be kicking asses and taking names all the time.
Hey luckybrans!
Thanks for the review, I'm glad your digging the Lexie/Phil action. This is all about her embracing that DeMera side of her family, which I agree, should have happend such a long time ago.
Thanks so much for reading!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI would be disappointed that Lexie ran away if I didn't understand. She's not quite ready to give in and be a DiMera and have all the perks (Phllip) that comes with taking on her family legacy. Right Phillip is the embdodiment of being a Dimera, of taking what you want and not being apologetic, and she's not ready to take on all of that.
I can't wait until she realizes EJ is right. She is a DiMera and nothing can change that.
Can't wait for the next part!
Hi luckybrans,
You're so on point with the characters, Lexie is drawn to that Dimera side of her, and what she'd be able to do if she just gave in. And Phillp grew up on the flip side of that, being Victor's son, with the last name, not much was expected of him I think.
Thanks so much for reading this, I'm so happy you liked it. Thank you so much for the review as well!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI'm enoying this fic too much.
I didn't expect Lexie to give in that easy, but now that she has I hope she won't backslide and run away from Phillip again. She's got to start owning her desire at some point.
Hey Luckybrans!
Glad you enjoying this, I love writing it too. And Lexie really didn't want to say no to Philip, and you're right about her owning her desire. Glad you picked up on that, that's gonna be an issue with her in the coming chapters.
Thanks so much for the review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI can't wait until Lexie gets enough confidence to tell Abe to shove it. She loves her child as much as he does and she should be able to see him.
That said, this was a hot chapter. I liked that you didn't gloss over the prosthetic issue because I know it might make some people uncomfortable.
I'm loving where this fic is going and I can't wait till the next chapter.
Lexie's slowly making a comeback, but she's kinda broken in a lot of ways. The thing with Philip is a lot of different things for her, rebellion against Abe is one.
I did want to touch on his prosthetic, because its a big part of his character, at least in the story anyway. How he lost it has really influnced his character, and his actions up until now.
Thanks so much for reading and for the review. Hope you like the next one too!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedOh, Lexie, when it seems like she's ready to take control of her life something happens to make her rethink that decision. I feel for her, but I'm also upset that she easily falls pack into the victim role, always beating up on herself and denying pleasures. Hopefully, she gets some insight and stays resolute in the upcoming chapters.
Author's Response:
You're right, she is pulled in two directions, where she wants to be and where she feels she should be. She's going to struggle a bit in the next few chapters, between those two worlds she's been straddling.
Thanks for reading luckybrans and for the review!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedThis was great! I'm glad Lexie came to her senses and accepted she was a Dimera. However, I don't like that she thinks that the past affairs happened because she was bad. Abe with his puritannical believes probably wasn't paying attentiont to her sexually or emotionally and that's why the affairs happened, I think. (I haven't been watching Days in a long time).
Being a Dimera isn't being bad to me. It's just accepting that you won't settle for being a nun who stays in her place.
Thanks lucky!
Yep, I thought it was time to end the cycle, she's gone back and forth long enough. And yes, Abe did have blame in the collapse of their marraige, though he really couldn't trust her affter all those affairs. That more than anything can destroy a family I think. If I remember correctly, Lexie cheated on Abe when he was impotent one time, and the others I can't remember, but I think they were along similar lines. Basically she wanted sex.
And I love the DiMeras, though they can get batshit crazy. I can't get enough though.:)
Thanks for reading!
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedI had no idea we were coming up on the end. I liked that Lexie finally came to realize who she was. I also liked that she and Phillip still remain a secret because once the relationship was out in the open there'd be a lot of problems.
I did't see the EJ twist coming, but it's not a stretch to imagine the DiMeras would be obsessed with blood purity. I so want a Flowers in the Attic/V.C. Andrews fic involving the DiMeras now.
Yeah, I did sort of end this pretty quickly. At first I thought it might be two chapters, but then realized I should just rip the bandaid off, and just go for it. I wanted Lexie to basically becoming the head DiMera in town, that's what I was getting at with that ending anyway. And I didn't really see a reason for Phil and Lex to tell people about them, it wasn't anyone's buisness really, and you know how those Bradys can be. :)
You're so right about the blood purity thing, and the Flowers idea is awesome. God, I loved that book. :)
Reviewer: luckybrans Signed CSI: Miami Fic.
She's sitting in an overstuffed chair, sipping on an overpriced drink, and feeling utterly out of place. There was one realization that Alexx wasn’t ready to face.
That was an awesome look into Alexx's mind. It's normal she would feel like an outsider among the young and pretty in the lab. Alexx is a fierce and confident woman, but it's nice to see her in her weaker moments.
Author's Response: "Alexx is a fierce and confident woman, but it's nice to see her in her weaker moments." This is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote this piece. Glad you enjoyed it!
CSI: Miami fic.
They’re close. She staring into hazel eyes she knows so well, slightly scared of what she sees. His breath brushes her cheek as he gives her a chaste kiss and her hold loosens on the paper. “I promise, Alexx.”
How bittersweet. I love the "Stay" and "Don't follow", they convey so much in so little words. I love the ending. It was poetic and just right.

One Life to Live
Evangeline Williamson is a brilliant attorney with a pragmatic approach to life and who always tried to do the right thing when it came to her clients and her job. But it all come crashing down after her most notorious client, Todd Manning, is found guilty and later exonerated of a crime he didn’t commit. Her career and reputation gasping at death’s door, Evangeline accepts Todd’s offer to become chief counsel for Buchanan Enterprises, a company he’s recently acquired through a hostile takeover.
The pay is substantial and the perks keep coming. But there’s no client more demanding than Todd Manning and two years later Evangeline has had enough of living his chaotic life instead of her own. She tells him as much and gives him two weeks notice to find a replacement, forcing Todd to realize just how desperate he is to keep her in his life—not only as his attorney but as the woman who’s stolen his heart.
That was a great beginning, BlackMamba! The witty banter between Todd and Evangeline is so dead on and sexy. I love couples who banter. The text messages are priceless and something Todd would do just to be annoying and also shows that he knows nothing of food outside of beer, chips and what you can find at Carlotta's diner.
He laughed. "You know, you're kind of mean when no one's looking." Todd leaned forward, placing both hands on her desk. She shifted her eyes to his face and raised an eyebrow. "I see you, Evangeline Williamson."
Yes. Evangeline is mean, and she used to do it when people were looking when she first came on the show. I can't wait to read more.
I had a huge grin on my face the entire time I was reading this. I love the way everything flows together, the headings contradicting what Todd says and what Evageline thinks she feels.
It was probably that dumbass with the chia pet eyebrows that talked her into it.
I love Todd's inner voice, so scathing and yet so accurate.
I wasn't a big fan of Kerri on the show, but I am warming up to your Kerri. She's funny and supportive.
I'm loving the Todd/Evangeline banter. I can picture them in my head and the comic timing is perfect.
No, Lily didn't. My mouth hung open at what Lily said. It's one thing to insult a woman, it's another thing to bring up ash. You just don't. Evagline Williamson is going to have to choke a bitch.
You've got me all riled up, Black. I can't wait for the next part. I'm loving David and his one liners. Calling Kerri an "evil boheme" was priceless.
Bravo! That was a great ending. I'm sure Neil was sad because he had to fire his daughter, but the promotion probably made things all better. I laughed out loud when Todd became a stay at home wife. He needs the time off before he goes back to terrorizing people. Learning to cook will make him an expert on disguising poison.
There were so many one liners in here that had be shrieking. Teh ending was my favourite part. I'd want to skip the cable and get my ring too.
I'm hoping this isn't the end. I need more Tangie :)
Reviewer: luckybrans SignedShe just wanted to be the woman he couldn’t leave behind.

So sad and excellent. There's a dearth of Cassie fics so I must thank you for this. Cassie's a great character to play with since she's the lone woman Dean got close to.
I love the portryal of Dean and Cassie's relationship. Dean comes to her after a hunt, when he wants to be rejuvenated and feel like a human being. Cassie responds to him becase she likes being desired, and that's not a bad thing.
Now I'm going to be yearning for Dean/Cassie with a happy ending.
Thanks lucky! There is such a lack of Cassie fic which is just too bad, she has so much story potential. I wasn't on the bandwagon with her, but that alone makes me want to explore her a bit more, just because no one else really has.
Happy ending Dean and Cassie? *ponders* I'll try, but i love tourturing the SPN boys so much..I like it when they're mopey and breaking stuff. *g*

Pathologist Alexx Woods has been widowed for well over two years now. Promoted to Chief Medical Examiner, she’s flourishing professionally. Friends and colleagues at Miami-Dade’s CSI department have been wonderfully supportive, especially bad boy CSI Ryan Wolfe, who, to the surprise of everyone, has gone above and beyond the call of friendship in his quest to ‘be there’ for the team’s favorite ‘mother’ figure.
Yet as Valentine’s Day approaches, life is about to change once again for Alexx. It all starts with a misunderstanding and the arrival of an unexpected visitor. The startling revelations that ensue compel her to delve into long suppressed emotions, confront rigid societal conventions and her own deep seeded fears about loving again.
A Story Written for the 100 First Kisses Challenge
A very nice start, Reese.
Ryan is one determined guy. The way he insinuates himself into Alexx's life is a bit sleazy but well-intentioned, but that's Ryan in a nutshell. He loves Alexx and her kids, but his involvement in their life isn't selfless.
Can't wait for the next chapter.
Thanks so much, luckybrans.
Lol. I can't very well deny the truth of your observations concerning our boy Ryan, now can I? lol Yes, he's in love, but he's still Ryan. I give him a tad bit of slack on this one though 'cuz when you want someone who has children from a prior relationship, I guess he or she has to do what he or she has to do. lol
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Reviewer: luckybrans Signed
What a situation Alexx has found herself.
I like that there was no beating around the bush with both men. They were upfront about what they wanted from Alexx and weren't about playing games. Yes, Preston only came out with it because Alexx called him out, but he came clean. That is some grown folks type behaviour.
I'm feeling for both men, because they have their flaws and there is a question of who would be good for Alexx, if they would be good at all. Ryan is young, arrogant, and is as Calleigh put it...Ryan. Preston is not even over Cristina and is motives regarding Alexx don't seem to have her best interests at heart. It's an excellent love triangle in the making.
Lol! Yes, doesn't she have quite a quandry on her hands?
I agree. I think that both men really have laid their cards on the table...face up. lol I'm glad that you appreciate Preston's dilemma. His situation is a bit awkward, but as you said, when he got called out, he responded appropriately. I give him his due for that. And I think in doing so, he showed the level of respect and affection that he has for Alexx.
I'm pleased that the story doesn't seem to be slanted unfairly in either direction. Ryan of course does have an advantage being as in a closer and more hands on (no pun intended lol) relationship. And now it's change again. But is necessary going to prove to be in his favor. That remains to be seen.
I'm glad you mentioned Calleigh. I wasn't sure that I was going to have room for her in the story but really wanted her in it somewhere, doing something. And to me, she was the perfect person to show ambivalence about Alexx and Ryan. Because in the show, even though she and Ryan have a decent working relationship that doesn't mean that she'd look favorably on him having a sexual/romantic relationship with Alexx. Alexx is her friend, and there's always (to me) been this reserve between Calleigh and Ryan. Subtle unlike with Delko's sort of outright hostility, but it exists.
Yes, Cristina maybe a big fly in the ointment. We'll see. It remains to be seen exactly where Preston is in that relationship. That's unclear at this point.
I'm so glad you're likiing the developing triangle. :-) I like both of these men.
Thanks for reveiwing.
