This sound that's been glowing in the dark at the edge of town
In other nice things of the new year,
thisbluespirit has made Elemental fanart for Peter Cushing as Palladium based on my waistcoat-inspired fancasting of him! He joins the company of Curium and Fermium from my "Assignment 96" and the rest of thisbluespirit's long-running and gorgeous series of original and other Elements. (I am especially fond of Jet, Copper, Mercury, Iron, Antimony, Bronze, Radium, Plutonium, Zinc, Aluminium, Arsenic, and Carbon.) More people should write for them, probably including me.

They are! Some are Elements who are named but never appear onscreen in the original series, at least one of them comes from radio canon, and the rest as I understand them are extrapolated from the periodic table and suitable actors into the Sapphire & Steel-verse. I love the visual style and the casting choices and am really honored that
I wonder if they could be a Yuletide fandom all on their own....
They should at least be able to inspire an exchange or something.

Well, I second that! :lol:
I put Palladium in the random generator (because, well, you know me by now):
Turquoise / Palladium / winter
Palladium / Axinite / beyond comprehension
Rhodium / Palladium / where are we?
Uranium / Palladium / telling a story
Iron / Palladium / centuries

Taken under advisement!
Turquoise / Palladium / winter
That sounds pretty.
Palladium / Axinite / beyond comprehension
Considering I had to look up what Axinite even is, that's well-themed.
Uranium / Palladium / telling a story
Uranium would be fascinating, right—literally, scientifically—on the edge of the transuranics.
Iron / Palladium / centuries
Hm. Hm.
I truly cannot promise anything, either soon or at all, because my fic-writing is genuinely unpredictable (see: normally when I can't sleep I just lie in bed until the sun comes up, I don't write for Torchwood or any other fandom for that matter; it was like being ambushed), but I like several of these prompts and I will see what happens.

Not to worry. I mean, I write fic quite a lot and even so I can never guarantee whether I'll write a prompt or not or my brain will just fall over. They're just such shiny things to have anyway. Although obv fic is good too. *nods*

So did I now, but I thought beyond comprehension was just generally so apposite for S&S that I had to share it.
Turquoise / Palladium / winter
That sounds pretty.
I thought so too!

And me too, if I can ever unfreeze the fiction lobe of my brain. Um, can we put Taaffeite in the list?

I love the origins and uses of each element she chooses to illustrate. They wind up feeling weird and scientific, which is echt Sapphire & Steel.
And me too, if I can ever unfreeze the fiction lobe of my brain.
I would love that! I feel like my entire brain has shut down these days.
Um, can we put Taaffeite in the list?
I mean, it is a gem . . .

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to write him something.
