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.

Brigadier/Polly Wright

Of Scientists and Soldiers

Trapped between scientists and security again. Polly moved away from Major Rathbone, but not swiftly enough. He really didn’t seem to take a snub and she was expert at administering them. It was disturbing.

“Oh, do excuse me,” she gasped, slipping away from him again, as she spied the one decent man in the room. “It’s my fiancé.”

She caught hold of Colonel Lethbridge-Stewart by the arm and leant against him. “Play along,” she breathed, “otherwise I shall be doomed to spend the entire evening with the major and he’s such a grubby little man.”

In fact, even this didn’t seem to be forcing him to give up; she could swear she spotted him moving over again. Really.

“Miss Wright, I’m sorry, but I’m not here to -.”

“No, not like that,” she said crossly. “Like this.” And propelled into recklessness by the advance of the major, she kissed him.

Of course, it was a mad thing to do: he kissed her back and she was paid in full for her thoughtlessness, breathless as her sins caught up with her.

“I’m sorry,” she said eventually. The wretched major was nowhere in sight anyway. She was flustered for once. She knew he was married. “I really am most dreadfully sorry.”

He directed a wry look at her. “I only wish I was.”
