Dorinda's bare bones page

Skeletonized for your pleasure.

First, the obligatory haiku -- I call this one "Autumn Disclaimer":

1. Slash is for grownups.
2. These characters are not mine.
3. I make no profit.

4.

  CASABLANCA
  	"Nom de Coeur" Rick/Louis. This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship--but beginnings are only seeds, and it's a long way to Brazzaville. ~12,700 words A gift for Widget, written for the 2004 Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project "While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure." back to top
  CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
  "Punishment and Grace" Raskolnikov/Razumikhin. A scene set during Chapter 3, when Raskolnikov wakes from his fever and Razumikhin looks after him, plus an epilogue. ~1,890 words A gift for alestar, written for the 2003 Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project "While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure." back to top
  HORATIO HORNBLOWER
  	"Untitled (shack #68)" Pellew/Hornblower. Cast adrift on a distant shore. 595 words A short piece written for the 2001 multi-fandom challenge 101 Ways To End Up In A Canadian Shack." back to top
  I SPY
  	"Escape and Evasion (Shack #43)" Scotty/Kelly. Let's get lost. 540 words A short piece written for the 2001 multi-fandom challenge 101 Ways To End Up In A Canadian Shack." "Wheat From Chaff" Scotty/Kelly. (Completed March 2001.) Takes place between the final scene and the tag of the episode "It's All Done With Mirrors," although you can read the story without having seen the show. In the episode, Kelly (on the right) was kidnapped and brainwashed to try to make him kill Scotty (on the left). It didn't work, but now Scotty has an unconscious partner on his hands with a head full of brainwashing, and his superiors are breathing down his neck. ~13,120 words "He Travels Fastest" Scotty/Kelly. (Completed September 2006.) After the events of the episode "Father Abraham," Scotty struggles with more than one kind of recuperation. (Here's a refresher on that episode.) ~33,060 words "Sinking, Rising" Scotty/Kelly. You ain't going anywhere. 500 words A short piece written in September 2006 for the Blast From The Past challenge. Also, Lamardeuse created a fantastic introductory post for I Spy, including lots of links! And you should definitely check out the many gorgeous I Spy screencaps and descriptions in her image galleries. back to top
  ISAAC ASIMOV'S ROBOT NOVELS
  "C/Fe" Elijah Baley/R. Daneel Olivaw. Set directly after their third novel, The Robots of Dawn. After the events on Aurora, Elijah Baley anticipates an uneventful trip back to Earth. But the trip is anything but uneventful, and soon Baley is faced with more mysteries--both professional, and personal. ~15,240 words A gift for Bucketmouse, written for the 2005 Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project "While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure." back to top
  LIFE ON MARS
  	"Some Living After We Die" Gene/Sam. Set after the end of series 1, episode 6. It wasn't every day you discovered just how you'd die, when it came down to it. Or just who would die for you. ~3,890 words Written for a friend, September 2006. back to top
  THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.
  	"The Fusion Affair" Napoleon/Illya. Napoleon finally gets a partner, and can no longer be quite so comfortably solo. ~7,760 words Originally published in the zine "Relative Secrecy 2," 1998. back to top
  THE MATADOR
  	"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Wright" Julian/Danny. What happened during the rest of that night in Mexico?

  THE PROFESSIONALS
  	"Festival of Lights" Bodie/Doyle. Written for a holiday celebration on the CI5 (Professionals slash) mailing list, 1996. There were a lot of Christmas stories; I wanted to try a different take, inspired by a different holiday. ~3,390 words "The Authorised Guide to The Professionals" is a big general-interest site. Two excellent slash sites are "The Circuit Archive" and "The Hatstand". On the latter, I also have a nonfiction essay hypothesizing on Cowley's youth in the Spanish Civil War. back to top
  SHERLOCK HOLMES
  	"Out Of This Room" Holmes/Watson. Three roads lead from the room of the Three Garridebs: one of sorrow, one of suffering, and one of joy. ~1,770 words A gift for aerye, written for the 2003 Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project "While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure." One site for Holmes/Watson slash (plus links to non-fiction essays, etc.) is Sacrilege! back to top
  THE STING
  	"The Buried Treasure Racket" Henry/Johnny. After the events of the movie, Henry and Johnny take it on the lam, and run smack into a few complications and a few revelations. ~26,720 words A gift for elynross, written for the 2006 Obscure Fandom Secret Santa Project "While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure." back to top

  I would love to hear feedback of any stripe whatsoever! (Well, unless you're having a total freakout, I suppose...if slash distresses you, go up and read the haiku again, then go on outside, take a nice walk, get some fresh air.)
