So it's Tuesday, & yet I'm still [livejournal.com profile] mustbethursday3 

Today's theme is 'Reset'

The idea is that YOU have the power to change the past: Any dream sequence/hallucination that should have been fact. Any misleading promo about a storyline you've been dying for that TPTB hinted at and never did. Any time a storyline wasn't finished properly. Any time the Show took a certain direction and you wanted to get off and take a different one - now's the time to play it out.

The reset button is in your capable hands :)

Like:

DW: Rose was never stuck in the parallel world because the Cybermen died in the void. The Daleks actually died FOR GOOD one of those times they were wiped out. The Timelords survived somehow so the Doctor could stop mentioning every episode that he's alone. Martha didn't waste all of S3 being repeatedly knocked back by a clueless man (alien) and instead enjoyed their friendship for what it was. The Doctor stayed human in Human Nature. Donna joined the Doctor in S3, instead of S4. Nine never had to die, because there was a way out of 1x13 that didn't end in regeneration. Eleven actually came back for Amy the same night like he promised (and not 12 years later). River Song never entered the equation. Susan still travels with the Doctor. Jenny (the Doctor's Daughter) wasn't left behind, or she caught up somehow. The Rani survived the Time War to fight another day. The Master never died. Jack was never stranded on the space station in S1. Ten and Rose were really stuck during the Impossible Planet and the Satan Pit and had to live human lives, sort of. The Doctor kept Arthur (the horse from S2) around on the Tardis. Merlin: Gwen's mother was the one who raised her and worked as a Blacksmith in S1. Arthur knew all along that his father made that deal with this mother's life to have a son, hence the acting out in S1. Merlin never came to Camelot, he met Gwaine on the way and they shacked up somewhere. Morgana wasn't Uther's child, that was a mistake. Lancelot stayed in Camelot in S1, just on the outskirts and actually helped when trouble struck. Tom never died. Gaius married whateverhernamewas twenty years before S1. Morgana and Gwen worked as a team to save Camelot as sort of a parallel to the Arthur and Merlin team up - except that they both knew each other's secrets. Gwen knew about the magic, because it's obvious. Arthur worked it out S2. Uther actually went out to fight most times, instead of sending his 'only heir' out all the time. Not every creature that dared venture into Camelot died. Mordred was killed in the episode he first appeared in. Morgause is Arthur's sister not Morgana's. Cenred and Morgause were married. Or Cenred never died, Morgause just trapped him somewhere to mess with later. Arthur was never ever knocked unconscious. People in Camelot stopped being so clueless and helpless in general. Firefly: Wash... SGA: Weir never died. The expedition never had to move planets. Or maybe that really was the Ancients that time. SG1: Jack never left the team. Daniel and Vala never got rid of the effect of the bracelets. That hostage ep from S10 never happened. NCIS: Kate never died, she got a new job. Or was kidnapped. Ari wasn't bad, he was a double agent. Or maybe Kate was? Supernatural: Sam and Dean's mother is the one who raised them and it was their father who died when they were young. Or Sam and Dean never had a younger brother. Or all (or some) of those female characters who've died over the course of the show are alive. Or Sam and Dean had a younger sister, not a brother. Or Jo and Dean got married. Or Dean got to have a Hunter!family life with Lisa and Ben. Being Human: A few things in S3 stand out…also Ivan in S2, still mourning that.

You can use whatever springs to mind when you think 'Reset'.

Torchwood, Owen, he was fine after Reset.
From: [identity profile] hanorganaas.livejournal.com
(OOC: I don't know if this is what you want I hope you like it)

They all waited silently in the hospital waiting room. Waiting for an answer. Is Owen going to live or do they have to bury him in the vaults with the others.

Gwen sat in the corner with her knees curled into her chest, turning herself in a protective ball.

Jack and Ianto sat on a couch made for the families of trauma patients. Jack held Ianto's hand in his own, as the younger man laid his head in his lap crying silent tears. The immortal Torchwood leader ran his hand gently down his back. It seemed to be the only thing keeping him sane at the moment.

Toshiko was the most frantic. She had her head burried in her hands. Martha who wasn't as close to Owen as the others rubbed her back gently.

The only thing that Tosh thought at the moment was that she was cursed. She thought about the past year and the two people she found herself in love with. Both were creatures from some other world or some other time...both were dead. She loved Owen from the moment they met. Admired him from afar but the man wouldn't give her the time of day.

He finally did! They finally made an arangemet to go on a fucking date. But hours before they did, that fucking monster shot Owen! Now she is sitting here waiting for the news, waiting with the others. It was just proof she will never find love.

"Are you all waiting for Owen Harper," A doctor holding a clipboard.

Everyone lifted their heads and stared at the doctor in attention.

"He just got out of surgery to remove the bullet from his Abdomen," The Doctor said, "while there was a signifant amount of blood loss the bullet missed his vital organs. I expect Dr. Harper to make a full recovery."

Martha and Gwen hugged each other tightly while Jack and Ianto shared a kiss. They were celebrating. Tosh slowly stood up.

"Can he see any visitors?" She asked.

"He's resting now but he did manage to write to a brief note to a Miss Toshiko Sato."

"That would be me."

The doctor handed her a small folded piece of paper.

"He requested I give to you. I'll come back when he is ready to see visitors."

As the doctor walked away Tosh slowly opened the piece of paper. It was a note, it wasn't Owen's normal neat handwritting but she was able to decphier it causing her to cry tears of joy.

I thought you should know, you're the reason I fought to stay alive. Thank you.

With all my Heart
Owen


And with that she brought the note close to her chest. Maybe there was love for her after all.

Regulus hovers on the edge of the crowd wherever he goes.

He's never been good at charming people the way his brother is.

Regulus's too sly for Gryffyndor, too practical for Slytherin, too lazy for Hufflepuff and not clever enough for Ravenclaw but the hat had placed him there because it couldn't place him anywhere else.

He's the "stupid" Ravenclaw, always dead last among his yearmates. This pushes him away from any hope of social status among his house peers and his families' contempt for any who isn't pure bloded pushes away the few who try to befriend him anyways.

He watches his brother with barely disguised hatred as he makes himself the enter of attention again.

Regulus nearly plows into someone as he turns away from the disgusting spectecle.

He looks up (and up and up, cursing the fact that he hasn't hit a growth spurt and despite being a fourth year he's still as small as afirst year) into the haughty face of Lucious Malfoy.

"You're the other Black boy, regulus is it?" Lucious says, though it's obvious he knows who he's talking to.

"I've been meaning to speak with you for sometime. I was hoping to ask your opinion on a rather delicate matter, since your brother, well..." Lucious lets the silence speak for itself.

Regulus knows he's being manipulated but it's worth it for this one moment where he is important. Where he is the center of attention.

Regulus looks towards his brother, seeing Sirius's face pale. Regulus smirks and follows Lucious back to the Slytherin table.

It's pure confusion that sets in with the lethargy in his limbs - he isn't hurt enough to be moving this slowly, to be taking this many hits. He bounces up off his knee as he half-falls and catches himself, back on his feet with enough speed to defend himself from a brutal sequence and get a couple of blows in himself - weak and sluggish.

The confusion is making it hard to remember where he is, why there's a roar of screams around him as he takes a hard fist that seems to fly through his face and out the other side; throwing him to the ground, bouncing him off the floor.

The truth is he's dying here, and even if he gets this guy down, he doesn't know if there's more coming. If he can't stay upright then he can't defend them, and he can hear them screaming. They need defending. They need him. They need him to stay up. He scrambles back to his feet, every muscle in his body screaming and his knees trembling. He's got to end this now, for them.

He takes a dozen more blows before he's in position, feeling his body failing around his determination, breathing sticky and wet, eyes stinging with blood. There's a visceral click as the enemy's neck snaps and the screams only intensity. He's being dragged down by the weight of his own muscles and the throbbing his his head, and all he can hope is that there's someone else out there to keep them safe until he can open his eyes and do it himself.
