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.

Maggie Hopley/Tenth Doctor

"I'm sorry."

Maggie smiled at him, the old bitter smile, and shook her head. "No you're not. You don't have to say it just to be polite."

"No, I... I really am sorry." The Doctor eyed her from across the console, his expression painfully sincere, and eventually Maggie had to look away. Sympathy she was used to, but the way he looked at her... it was like he genuinely hurt for her. It wasn't a comfortable feeling.

"Blimey," he muttered after a minute, "am I ever going to meet anyone with a normal wedding day?"

"What?" she asked, looking up.

"Oh, it's... it's complicated," he said, waving his hand in a dismissive gesture.

"You say that a lot."

"It usually is." Beat. "Complicated, I mean."

Maggie rolled her eyes. "Don't I know it. It's not like you do anything to make it less complicated." She circled slowly around the console, trailing her fingers over the controls while taking care not to actually turn any dials, flip any switches. She stopped at his side, and looked up at him with raised eyebrows. "We're not really going to sit here all day, are we?"

The Doctor stared at her for a moment, his expression something she couldn't quite parse, and then jumped to the controls, leaning forward and past her to reach something. "Right! Of course! Ever onwards... Where d'you want to go, then? Your choice!"

"As if I'd even know where there is to go. You're just asking me to be polite, aren't you?"

Still leaned halfway over the console, he grinned at her over his shoulder. "Well, yeah, but it seemed like the thing to do. You mind?"

Maggie laughed, and stepped back to drop onto the jump seat. "Considering it's you, I'll take what I can get."

Harriet Jones/Yvonne Hartman

Yvonne was not supposed to be here today. It was supposed to be a quiet, pleasant day in the office, and then a spacecraft had to go and crash into the Thames. Well, that was Torchwood for you. Even with that, she normally would have still been in office - send out a response team, monitor them from the tower, not a problem. [...]

Maggie Hopley/Sally Sparrow

At the time, Maggie blamed it on those damn koalas. They'd just spent an entire day and the better part of an evening trying to figure out why the Doctor was running around trying to build something that confused them but looked like it might be relatively explosive before they realised that the little koala like things had saliva that made you... do stupid things.

Or, more accurately, it made you think that really bad ideas were the best ideas ever.

Neither Maggie nor Sally had gotten licked by the little buggers, but they'd had some second-hand contact at some point during the day, and it was obviously still affecting her when, after depositing the Doctor in the infirmary to figure out an antidote to the chemicals, she pushed Sally against the wall and snogged her. And, clearly, Sally was still affected, because after a moment of surprise, she snogged back.

Of course, that didn't explain Sally's grin when Maggie finally pulled back, or why Sally flipped them around so that Maggie was the one pinned against the wall getting snogged (just for a moment), or why, three hours later when the Doctor burst in with the antidote and then fled when he saw them sleepily entangled on the bed and completely naked, the two of them burst out laughing before snogging a little more. And it definitely didn't explain how, three weeks later, they were still sharing a bed, quite contentedly, though they made sure not to point that out to the Doctor, lest he splutter and blush himself to death.

So maybe it wasn't the damn koalas after all.
