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.

Astrid Peth/Donna Noble - Guiding Star

[marzipanilla.livejournal.com]

It's not the north star that guides her.

At first she thought it was, a jewel in the heavens calling for her attention- bright and more alive than she would normally have given a star credit for. Of course, ever since she started this whole Doctor-hunt one of the things she has learned is that the north star is not in fact, the brightest star in the sky. Separating fact from fiction is one of the toughest parts of this pursuit. This star was brighter than the one up in the north, so, it was something else altogether.

She tries to place it though, figure out what to call this beacon in the sky.

No matter how much time she spends with her Gramps on the hill, or listening to some astronomer, she'll never understand star charts. How to plot out the heavens. Eventually she decides it's a bit wrong to try and find it it's proper name. It's probably just some silly designation anyway, like she's learned most of the stars in the sky are labeled.

She doesn't want to turn it into some letter-number combination, it's too..inhuman, to call it that. As silly as it sounds, even to herself, she likes to think that this star watches her as much as she watches it.

It's special, her star (because she likes to call it that, her star) that one right there, that no one else seems to be able to point out but her. The light that it gives, that some nights, she thinks just falls on her. Showing.. no, illuminating, the way.

Because Donna knows. This star is going to lead her to the Doctor.
