a song called ‘disco inferno’ just came up on my dash and i automatically registered it as “i learn by means of hell” before i realised the title was actually english and not latin
“I learn by means of hell,” forthcoming rap album from Doctor Faustus
When we figured out that’s what Disco Inferno meant (we translated it as “I learn through suffering”), it became the motto of our Latin class at college, and the unofficial motto of my undergrad.

So this time he made an immortal on purpose. I’m probably weird in that I find it extra chilling that it’s Frobisher’s face doing it. Though, once AGAIN he leaves the newly immortal person behind to try and figure things out on their own.
At least Jack was a time agent and didn’t have strong ties to anyone or anywhen (until he got dumped on Earth for a good hundred plus years), so that had to help him adjust. Here he’s just turned a viking girl and skipped off. Is it any surprise if she goes dark with it?
The rules are there for a reason. See also the Time Lord Victorious situation. Oh he gave her an extra chip so she can bring along someone else? That’s gonna work out great I’m sure.
And can we just get Jack back on here at some point?
Ooh, how about 00Q victorian gothic AU?
Ooooh, this is fab!
- Bond is a DI with the Met. He’s been with the police for a while–distantly remembers the Ripper case from his early days as a lackey–but due to his dependence on alcohol and opium, not to mention his habit of charming influential men’s wives, he’s been posted out in Bow, where many of his superiors hope he’ll disappear some night.
- Q is a Tesla-like figure, a mad scientist whose awkwardness with people has led to him locking himself inside his building. Fortunately, he’s wealthy enough that he can do this; unfortunately, out here in the slums, it only makes his neighbours trust him less. No one really knows anything about him, except that he can only be seen at night.
- Q and Bond meet when Bond is investigating a pair of grave robbers who name Q as a customer. Bond investigates this shy creature and slowly becomes enamoured of him. He never sees any sign that Q has ever had anything to do with the corpses that are missing, and when a connection is revealed between Q’s accusers and a landlord who wants to buy Q’s house, Bond closes the case because it’s ridiculous.
- Q is totally experimenting on corpses in the house’s back rooms.
- Q brings Bond back from the dead after he’s attacked by a thug and left to die in an East End gutter. Bond is more ambivalent on the subject than he thought he might be.
Came for the fics, stayed for the legit-ness and fics.
You’re awesome!
