    Summary

    The magnetometer rests in pieces. Wires are tangled, the dial removed, and the plastic covering cracked in half.

    “Ahh,” Darcy says dryly. “You killed it.”

    He taps his fingers against his thigh. “Old habits. Thought it could’ve been a security risk.”

    It takes an awkward pause for her to realise he meant it could have been a bomb.

    “Geez, man,” she says, looking aimlessly around the room and scratching the back of her head. “Your life until now must have sucked.”

    Or: in which Darcy is unknowingly good at giving orders, and Bucky takes solace in the fact.

    Summary

    As a footman, John knows his place: stand silently against the wall, assist the family however they ask. Even when Eloise's only request is to leave behind her stiff life as a viscount's sister, if only for a little while.

    OR, John helps Eloise avoid the 'ton, and Eloise can't stop seeking out the footman with the quiet laugh and handsome smile.

    Summary

    “I thought you didn’t work for the Blinders, Charlotte?”

    Something fluttered briefly, flared into life in the pit of her stomach when his lips rolled around her name.

    “I don’t Mr Shelby, but I’d do this as a favour. Call it in return for my grandmother treating you as a mark in her kitchen. Nothing too dangerous, either. Not a job, just asking a few questions.”

    ***

    Charlotte Williamson, born and grown in Small Heath, should have known better than to get mixed up with the Shelbys again. She’d once been let go from a job she’d never even claimed to have, it not being “women’s business” after the war to work for the Peaky Blinders.

    But buried in a seamstress shop some years later, she can’t ignore a long forgotten thrill of excitement when Thomas Shelby comes unexpectedly calling with an old accusation.

    Summary

    The Doctor sighed, wistfully remembering that very first trip out with Rose. She’d been flabbergasted at the mere concept of universal roaming, and the Doctor couldn’t help but smile as he recalled the delighted wonder in her tone. She could comprehend the sentient, telepathic time-and-space ship, but somehow the concept of advanced technical jiggery pokery baffled her--as if there were anywhere in the world he couldn’t get a silly little signal to.

    Perhaps he should’ve considered something similar for Amy, prodded her to call Rory or something. Of course, he couldn’t have known they’d end up engaged, in his defense. And picking him up was just inherently better, wasn’t it? No need to upgrade the cell phones just yet--well, it could never hurt, just because one of them wasn’t stuck on Earth didn’t mean they wouldn’t need to call every once in a while--

    As if there were anywhere in the world he couldn’t get a silly little signal to--

    Just because one of them wasn’t stuck on Earth--

    Rassilon, he was an idiot.

    *****

    (OR: The Doctor tries to have forever with Rose, in the form of unlimited minutes and multiversal roaming. Basically, it's a phone call fic.)
