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.

Charley/Tenth Doctor

This turned out to be both long and spoilerific for "Journey's End," though I didn't intend either of those things when I started. Here's a taster:

The Doctor skulked in the shadows, waiting for his previous self to leave. He fervently hoped he wouldn’t go blind before that happened.

After an eternity of staring at the multi-colored nightmare that he used to be, his previous self finally went off on the errand that he had manufactured for the blowhard. Seizing his opportunity, the Doctor quietly slid up behind his former companion. “Hello, Charley,” he murmured quietly.

Charley let out a loud squeak and spun around. “Oh. I didn’t see you there!” She smiled at him, but a poised wariness belied her apparent friendliness. “I’m sorry, but do I know you?”

“You know me, Miss Pollard,” he assured her. “You know me quite well, in fact.”

She stared at him intently before focusing on his eyes. After a long moment, she broke out in a beatific grin and tackled him with a flying hug. “Doctor!” she squeaked. “It’s you! It’s really you! The Cybermen didn’t get you; you did regenerate after all!”

He lifted her up and swung her around while she peppered his face with kisses. The tight knot of grief in his hearts briefly loosened and a soppy smile overtook his face. “Yes, Charley,” he whispered. “It’s me.”

Sooner than he would have liked, he put her back on the ground. Charley kissed him one last time, a chaste but lingering meeting of their lips… and then promptly punched him in the shoulder. “You took your sweet time coming to my rescue, Doctor! Deserted planets are less entertaining than you might think, and your predecessor is no picnic either!”
