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.
Astrid Peth/Mike Yates
Unfortunately, he could imagine the rest of that conversation all too well. Yes, his tip-off about the meditation centre had proved useful, but even Sarah Jane Smith would think he’d gone mad if he started talking about ethereal females who appeared on his lawn in the middle of the night.
For what seemed like the hundredth time, Mike put down the phone without dialling, and walked back into the living. The woman – Astrid Peth, she’d called herself, a citizen of a planet he’d never actually heard of – was sitting on the couch, staring in fascination at the cup of tea he’d made her. She seemed fascinated by a lot of the perfectly ordinary things in his cold little house. He couldn’t imagine why, although he also couldn’t work out why he’d invited her inside, so it probably didn’t matter all that much. He simply hadn’t had the heart to turn her away. Where could she have gone? She looked like a spirit, and her attempt at an explanation made about as much sense as a ghost story.
Maybe she was a spirit, actually. His time at the centre had been marred by his suspicions. He hadn’t learnt any of the techniques he’d been supposed to learn, but he’d overheard many conversations about the spirit world, and Astrid could have been a manifestation of any one of them.
(Sacred guardians probably didn’t wear boots like hers, though.)
“I’m sorry about intruding,” she said, when he stepped back through the doorway, “I don’t usually stay in one place for so long…”
Was he supposed to be honoured? He’d been a UNIT Captain once. He’d been a hero once. Now he was nothing. Now he was alone. He deserved it. Regardless of his motives, he’d been a traitor. The kindness the Brigadier had shown him had been too much, far too much.
“It’s quite alright,” he assured her, “Would you like another cup of tea? That one must be cold by now.”
“Cold?” She blinked glittering eyelashes as she turned to look at him, and waved a hand through the cup. “I don’t think that matters. I can’t really feel it.”
“Can you feel anything?” he asked, sitting down in the vacant armchair. He couldn’t help himself, and, fortunately, she didn’t seem to be particular hurt by his bluntness.
“Oh, some things,” she said with a dismissive shrug and a wide smile. “I travel the stars, you know. I’m always travelling.”
“Don’t you get…” he paused, searching for the right word and settling on: “Tired?”
“Don’t you? You live here on your own, and you’re so serious! What do you do for a living?”
“Well, I used to be a soldier,” he said, after a moment of struggling through his own astonished silence.
“And now you’re just waiting for something else to happen? I spent my whole life like that. Waiting.”
“Are you happy with what you’ve found?”
She smiled sadly, and he could see his pastel wallpaper through her insubstantial cheeks.
“Oh, I’m happy enough. I always wanted to see the stars…”
“Like this?”
“You can’t live your whole life wondering what might have been.”
“Are you lonely?”
“Only as lonely as you.”
“Very lonely, then.”
They both stood up at the same time, too quickly. Astrid’s cup of tea spilled onto the carpet, and he wasn’t sure which one of them had knocked it over. It must have been him, but he couldn’t work out why he was suddenly so close to her.
“I’m going,” she whispered, and she was fading even as she spoke.
“You can’t.”
“I can. I’m stardust, remember?”
“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget,” he said, laughing because it was so much better than crying. He reached out a hand, touching her ghostly cheek, and she turned to kiss his palm with lips that weren’t really there. Her touch felt like a light breeze, or the whisper of silk.
“You know,” she said, very quietly, “We don’t have much time, but I think we have enough. There’s an old Stow tradition…”
