Fic Post
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.
Lucy Saxon/Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Old Friends and Observers (http://stunt-muppet.livejournal.com/82894.html#cutid5), ~1500 words.
Requests: Third Doctor/Delgado!Master/Jo Grant, Tenth Doctor/Silver (From Sapphire and Steel)
Silver (S&S)/Tenth Doctor
It took a lot to distract the Doctor from a time anomaly, and his head wasn’t an easy one to turn. So why he’d let Silver lead him away from this one, into the opposite end of the building was a good question.
Flirting, I mean, he’d met plenty of flirts. He’d met the galaxy’s greatest lovers and courtesans, and remained unmoved, and he’d managed to try and look disapproving at Jack Harkness most of the time. Even granted that he had a weakness for the subtleties of psychic seduction over the physical, it wasn’t an answer.
“One moment,” said Silver, from the kitchen. He’d led them into one of the empty flats that had probably been locked and then literally vanished into the next room. “I did say I could give you something you wanted, didn’t I?”
“Yes,” said the Doctor, fidgeting. “Er. Yeah.”
It wasn’t even the Element thing. He’d heard of them; met them before – inevitable, given their lines of work – and even he found them a mystery. They, on the other hand, tended to see him as an irresponsible lunatic who went round tearing holes in time. An accusation he refuted absolutely. He knew what he was doing. So, the chance to study one up close, as it were was a… well, okay. That wasn’t it, either.
“And I object,” the Doctor said, belatedly, as Silver reappeared. “I am not a walking trigger, I haven’t caused any time-breaks, and I don’t attract nasties from outside of time and space. Well, not much. Only sometimes, and not today. And I don’t want cheering up!”
“Oh, no, no,” said Silver, passing him his tea, with one light touch of their hands in the process. “You know, your thoughts as regards hot water and a few dried leaves… I’m intrigued.”
“I don’t think about tea in that way!”
“Oh?”
There was rather too much amusement in that one syllable, and suddenly the Doctor was unsure as he looked down at the over-sweet tea that was exactly how he liked it. “And,” he added, “I told you not to go poking around in my mind.”
“You keep shouting,” returned Silver. “I never go where I’m not wanted.” His tone implied that he rarely found himself unwanted.
And, the Doctor continued, it wasn’t even that he didn’t have to feel ancient in comparison to the other. It was a bit hard to tell on brief acquaintance but logic said Silver must be considerably older than him, even if it also seemed that age didn’t apply here and in other ways he was newly minted. It made a change, because usually the only people older than him turned out to be evil from the dawn of time, or a head in a jar.
No, it wasn’t that. The Doctor coughed, and adjusted his tie. “Okay. Silver. The thing is, I can’t help noticing -.” He waved a hand and nearly spilt the tea.
Silver looked illegally smug, but merely raised an eyebrow.
“It’s just, well…” The Doctor gave in as he looked wistfully at the Element’s gloriously red hair. “I’ve always wanted to know how it feels to be ginger.”
