Title: Survival
Author: HonorH
Genre: (crossover with Doctor Who- what else?)
Length: Short
Rating: Strong T (PG-15)
Pairing: Claude/Rose (Doctor/Rose)
Spoilers: mild for season finales of both shows
Summary: We all do what we have to to survive.
Quote:

Run into her he did, quite literally. In the street, your typical meet-cute. He gave her an annoyed look; her jaw dropped, eyes growing wide. It was like she recognized him, and it was enough to spook him into making a mistake. As soon as he’d gotten around her, he went invisible. She’d shaken off her immobility more quickly than he’d been prepared for, though, and when she whirled around, her hand just grazed him.

That mightn’t have been such a problem except for the fact that Rose worked for Torchwood. A day later, he entered his flat to find her already there.

Some Heroes (mostly Claude-centric, go figure)

Quote:

“I believe that’s your way of saying, ‘I could’ve done a much better job even though I’m not a bloody invisible man.’”

“I never said that.”

“It’s not a word-for-word translation, I don’t have the Pocket Dictionary of Bennet on me. Look, if you’re getting bored with the tactics, why don’t you run em yourself? Bag the bloody housewife all by your lonesome. Go on then.”

Summary: "You're hiding one of them." Not just one, but two. The reason that Claude was removed from Primatech. [contains swearing]
Quote: He's rather antsy. He fiddles his fingers, taps his foot. He flicks the knob that rolls down the window. He drums his nails on the armrest. Bennet, next to him, glances at him the way fathers sometimes glance at their children when they want them to stop being such an annoyance. Claude glances back and puts his hands in his lap. Bennet chuckles.

“Screw Nathan,” came a voice from behind Peter. Hiro saw him twist around, and suddenly, he vanished, like a ghost.

Peter mourns the loss of someone important to him, but finds hope in someone he didn't think he would.
Quote: All is still and silent behind door number 10. For once, the sounds of the traffic haven’t found their way inside. No voices are carried down the hall. The television’s static. It’s lonely…but it’s the only place he’s got…he’s got no one to turn to.

Quote: Meg continued to stare at them, mind spinning, quietly cataloging the impossible things about this situation. They were pink, for one thing. With wild blondeish afros. And somehow subtly stockier than normal, built somehow differently. And had appeared out of nowhere. And weren't speaking English, but somehow she understood them anyway.

Summary: Basically what happens when Archangel Raphael won't lend the Lone Power his pen.
Quote: But at any rate, what had happened was this:
Nita had, after successfully flushing the Lone Power down the toilet without so much as a Fairest-and-Fallen-greeting-and-defiance, dressed and stormed into her room (but not before being waylaid by a concerned Dairine en route) only to find said Fairest sitting rather sulkily on her dresser. Dripping. With a water beetle clinging to Its hair.
