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.

So, if I understand this properly, the Doctor is the boss and the pilot, but he sometimes takes passengers?"

"That's it."

"And where do you travel?"

"Oh, here and there in time and space... often Earth, unfortunately."

"Hey!"

"Most boring planet in the whole universe."

"Not everywhere! Even though... judging by the places I went to, maybe... okay, it is. So, how do you get to board with him? Do you have to pay or something?"

"I can't believe it. Where are you from? Oh, Earth, of course. No, he only travels with people he likes."

"It would be so cool if I could come! He seems interesting. And funny. Besides, he's hot."

"Hey..."

"Oh, don't take it badly. You're quite good-looking, too."

"Guess that makes three of us. And don't take that as a compliment or a proposal. It's just a fact."

"Okay, I won't thank you then. If you insist. So I guess you find the Doctor hot, too. As a fact, I mean."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Oh, nothing. Only that the way you look at him could mean something."

"I'd like it if you didn't claim to know me better than I do!"

"Fine, you're the expert. By the way, since you've known the Doctor for a much longer time than I have: which does he prefer? Men or women?"

"To the best of my knowledge, neither."

"That's impossible! No one is like that!"

"He's an alien, miss know-it-all!"

"And? Aren't you one, too?"

"Not the same species. There are more lifeforms in the universe than you could possibly imagine."

"Oh."

"So, don't start figuring..."

"You know, there's one thing I remember very well from school. Nothing works better than the experimental method."

"Should I be afraid?"

"In short: as soon as we find a quiet place, I kiss him, then you kiss him, and we'll see which he likes better."

"That is one of the stupidest plans I've ever..."

"Okay, you can be first if you want. You were here before me."

"That's not what I meant! Just... it's ridiculous!"

"But it could work. So, why not try?"

"You're really something else."

"I know. Oh, I hope it's a compliment this time!"

***

As they soon found out, the Doctor had no clear preference for men or women.

He had one, though, for enthusiastic and bold people. At least, he did after the initial surprise, shock, embarrassment, and confusion went away.

Peri and Turlough didn't find any grounds for complaining there.

Nor did the Doctor, by the way.
