A Touch of Smith and Jones

It's been awhile since I posted anything here-- mostly because of changes in my hours at work (which went up a lot but with a cut in pay which hasn't helped things much) and because this ficverse spawned another that revolves around Fury that was inspired by some RP's over the last few years and I'm still trying to decide if it's an AU verse or if it's just running along side this one. Also merging in some recent changes in the 616 Marvel canon (Coulson's backstory and Nick Jr) and trying to recover my notes from a hard drive that the new computer isn't recognizing. (The new computer is actually a really old computer that runs on Windows 2000 that we're now using because the laptop I was using died.)

I am hoping by next year (if not sooner) to start updating the stories in this ficverse (if nothing else get Found, But Still Searching: Reset a little closer to finished) and get it moving again.

Basically Jack and Ianto moving on from Malibu to Martha and Chase's wedding.

Started roleplaying 'A Touch of Smith and Jones' versions of Jack, Ianto, Nick and Mala (Nick's secretary) because I was having a bit of trouble getting back into my writing after Christmas- and I've actually got some writing from it. These were inspired by a meta event (The Wedding of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts) by a great group of roleplayers that I watch. Since the event was in a different dimension- Jack used a device from the Torchwood Archives to get him and Ianto there. Unedited.

Finally got to see Sherlock Holmes- loved it! It strayed a bit from canon in places but was still a blast. And the plot bunnies quickly piled up-- it's going to take a while to calm them down enough to make any sense out of them XD!

I realized it was taking too long to get to Tony's reaction to the Board meeting and that Coulson isn't actually a viewpoint character, so this chapter has to go (Pepper's part will turn into a oneshot and the info in Coulson's section will show up later through Fury's POV.)

( unedited, because I realized it had to change... )

I should be working on other things, but had these two crossover scenes pop into my head.

Well, since my "Found...But Still Searching" plotbunny has all the others cowering in a corner right now, I guess I'll be working on that for my MayNoWriMo. So last night I thought I'd have some fun with it and took a look at some of those character questionnaires out there. This is how it's gone so far. (I figured Tony would avoid answering truthfully so I dragged Rhodey along for this.)

( Interviewing Tony and Rhodey )

I'll see if they have anything else to tell me when I get home from work.

*wonders why I do this to myself* :)

( Started working on the timeline (with dates) for A Touch of Smith and Jones )

Just putting this here so I can find it later.

Rhodey sighed as Tony pulled at the collar of his dress uniform and muttered "How can you wear these monkeysuits?"

"It's not a monkey suit Tony," Rhodey said absently as he stared out at the audience. "And you look good in it."

The sudden silence and lack of movement told Rhodey that probably wasn't the best thing to say right then and there. He looked at Tony. Tony stared back thoughtfully.

"You think I look good in this?" he asked.

Rhdoey rolled his eyes. "Yes, Tony, I think you look good in it."

The thoughtful look turned inward, a corner of Tony's lip curling up in a smile. Before he could warn Tony that now was not the time to think about that, the master of ceremony called Tony's name and Rhodey had to discretely shove Tony towards the podium.

As Rhodey watched Tony walk across the floor of the UN, Fury stepped to his side and asked, "What did you say to get him to stop fidgeting?"

Rhodey shrugged his shoulders. "I told him he looked good in a uniform."

Fury shook his head. "Yeah, not gonna try that technique anytime soon."

Rhodey raised an eyebrow as he suppressed a smile. "I don't know. If you tell him that, it'll definitely stop him from fidgeting."

Fury gave him an annoyed look. "Don't think he needs any more encouragement."

Watching Iron Man while I kill time before going out for Thanksgiving dinner, and thought I'd write a few notes to myself for "Found...But Still Searching" (since it looks like I'll be novelizing quite a few scenes from the movie.)
