Loose Ends Canon character is kidnapped by Sue that threatens to kill him; when she doesn't he falls in love with her and takes her to a remote cabin. PPC agents think that is an unlikely scenario and step in (and try to steal the snacks). [A-Team]

But yes, generally brass (and electroplate-over-brass, if the electroplate is worn) will discolour your skin green if it's snug against your skin and you a) sweat a bit or b) have what the jeweller I talked to referred to as 'weird skin pH' (I haven't investigated yet to see if it IS a pH issue, so take that with a grain of salt) and, like me, cause every metal except gold to tarnish and leave colourful residues on your skin. I *used* to wear about half a pound of assorted metals on my wrists, until I realised that the amount of black and green on my skin made it look like I was a victim of domestic abuse. I also got through gallons of silver polish every month, trying in vain to keep my bangles actually silver, instead of grimy black.

It apparently got deleted from the Pit of Voles. It's short and squicky. Kind of like a 40K version of C*l*br**n, but much shorter...

That is, if no one else decides to be brave. Although Trojie and I aren't actually feeling all that masochistic at the moment, and we can't understand this whole Teatime/Carcer thing either. So we'll consider taking missions one and three if and only if no one else will take them.
The Bad Het one's rather more of a possibility, since it's actually got grammar and line breaks. We shall consult.

Doesn't brass, when worn next to the skin, discolor it to green or black?

there would hopefully be a mention of it on the PPCwiki in the article called "Killed Badfic".

I'll probably take a couple of them if they still need doing by the time I get round to them. Until I'm a bit more eperienced, though, I'd like my missions to be places with something resembling a plot.

Query regarding badfic status? by

I am unsure about whether a Warhammer 40K badfic called "Squad Broken!" has been PPCed already, and if it has not, where I can find a link to it. This is probably near suicidal, because it is badfic and I have read a synopsis of it, but I would like to see if it could be sporked...

You ladies always do good work. The "that doesn't go there!" moment in this was great. *g*
Sharing a bed... this clearly can only end one way. Or have I been reading too many bad slash missions?

"Before the Worst" is passable, and could possibly be shaped into something decent. I can't see it becoming a masterpiece, but hey, baby steps. I'll give her a review and see what happens.
I don't know much about Titantic, but from a Whovian perspective, the story is... I'm sorry, I just can't see the Doctor sitting around and moping about how lonely he is and how he needs a soulmate to share his life with while Jack is on board the TARDIS. Beyond the fact that the Doctor generally keeps his angst to himself, I feel a strong urge to point out that Jack would happily be his "best mate to the one person he really loved." Actually, I'm not sure what that means, but you get the idea.
I'd still recommend you placing up the stories on "Fics-to-be-killed," seeing how you've been involved in her affairs. Surely there are other Whovian Agents in the PPC?
