Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

That Holmes fic was delightful (ended up reading the whole series) and I ended up purchasing the first series and dipping my toes into other Holmes fic. Not as fun without the Adams Family element.

Okay, I'm having a brainfart: what's the term, preferably slang, for a police informant? Specifically a prostitute who sleeps with the bad guy and then dishes to the cops.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Came in to post this fanvid and didn't realise I was a ton of posts behind so apologies if someone already linked this but it's Doctor Who 'Jizz in my Pants'.

Doctor Who is ruined forever.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I only know CI -- confidential or criminal informant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Stool pigeon, if you're old school.

Which I don't think jibes with the fic Julie's writing.

Ooh, also, narc.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Other possibilities: rat, fink, snitch.

Is "source" too formal? Also, it's not meant to be derogatory.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Juliebird, who is using the term? A cop, an outside observer, someone pretending to be a cop?

Re: the Doctor Who vid. Suffers in comparison to this [link]

I'd go with CI. Well, depending on who they're talking to, I guess.

I thought it would be watch from the hall for me the first time I watched it, but it won me over quite quickly.
