This post is where everything happens. All stories/ficlets/drabbles go in the comments here. If your story's too long to fit in a single comment, please post it in your own journal and leave the link in a comment here along with your next pairing request(s). Make certain that you include the pairing you've written as the title of the comment, so that specific pairings can be found easily.

Please don't post any comments that aren't stories. That way, this post will show an accurate count of all the written stories. If you make a mistake or forget something, just edit your comment. If you write a story featuring a specific pairing but somebody posts their story before you post yours, please post it in the overflow post instead of the main one.

If you need help thinking of a pairing to request next or getting inspiration, don't forget The Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator. It includes all of the "main" characters from the various shows, audios, books, and spin-offs. People who aren't participating in the writing can list pairings here that authors can write and/or use as requests in this post.

The rules can be found on the community profile. The masterlist of all written pairings can be found here, while all requested pairings that are still open can be found here. If you want to leave feedback for one of the authors, please go to this post. Any other questions can be asked here.

Note: If you're writing a story for someone's request, please post it as a reply to their comment. Only create a new thread if you've written a pairing that nobody has requested yet.

A/N: Post-ep for "Parting of the Ways"

----
“You stuck out here too, huh?”

“Affirmative.”

Jack leaned back against the wall and surveyed his surroundings. He’d checked floor after floor until they all looked the same; there wasn’t a single human left alive on the Game Station. He’d been just about to start looking for escape pods when the robot dog came crashing through the window.

It was right about then that the whole immortal thing started to set in. Waking up after getting sucked into space would do that to you. (Note for future reference: You have about fifteen seconds to get back before you die again. It had been an interesting half-hour.)

“So,” he cast about for something to say. “What’s a…robot dog like you doing in a place like this?”

The robot clicked and whirred; the tiny processors that passed for ears spun with what seemed to be effort. “Insufficient data,” it pronounced at last. “Most recent readings indicate spacetime fluctuations in proximity to CVE. Hypothesis: Unstable coordinates caused interference in this unit’s flight pattern.”

Careening off through space and time. Not so different from him, really.

He was glad for the company, anyway. And he’d certainly held decent conversations (among other things) with less articulate robots.

“You got a name?”

“My designation is K-9 Mark Two.”

Requests: Liz Shaw/Jean Basemore (from "The Blue Tooth"), Brigade Leader Lethbridge-Stewart/Platoon Under Leader Benton (both from "Inferno"), CAL/Miss Evangelista (both from "Silence in the Library"/"Forest of the Dead")

There are two parts of her twined together in nothing, just for a microsecond, but so much happens then. Maybe it's just that time means nothing anymore. Not that Miss Evangelista thinks of that - she's never been very smart.

I'm going to save you, the voice says. A little girl, but not a little girl, somehow. It's all very confusing.

Please, she thinks, how are you going to save me? I think they ate me. It wasn't very nice of them.

You will be uploaded into my databanks. I'll save you there, and there's a whole world. You'll be able to have a very nice life.

Save? she wonders. Like a computer?

Yes. Just like a computer. I am a computer.

Please, miss computer, could you... oh, it's rather stupid of me to ask, I'm sorry. Never mind.

Oh, do ask! I don't think it could be stupid. Not like this.

Well... Miss Evangelista hesitates. Could you make me smart, when you save me? Just a little? I don't like being stupid.

Of course I will, is the response, and Miss Evangelista is saved.

It takes only a nanosecond, and by the time the others come running, she's laughing in a fabricated world, and cares nothing for her twisted face in light of the fact that right now, finally, she knows she's smart.
