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.

Dodo Chaplet/Zoe Herriot

[bibliophile1887.livejournal.com]

Dodo spent her mornings in her room, her afternoons in the library, her evenings in the garden. Her ravaged mind slowly repairing itself. WOTAN had controlled her mind and body and left her fragile and vulnerable.

One afternoon she sat with an open book in her lap. Dodo wasn't reading, but sat staring out the window. She saw the girl approach through the window, but didn't think anything about it. Dodo even heard the knock on the front door, but didn't acknowledge it.

The girl was ushered into the library and introduced as Zoe. She crossed to the chair that Dodo sat in. “How are you today?”

Dodo looked at her. “Okay, I think. Some days I'm not sure. What was your name again?”

“I'm Zoe. I'm a ... friend. I was sent by the Doctor to take care of you.”

“Are you a doctor?”

“No. But he's concerned about you and wanted me to come and see if you needed a friend. Someone to talk to.” Zoe sat on the ottoman. She stared into Dodo's face, her eyes kind.

“I don't know what to talk about.” Zoe began to speak when Dodo opened her mouth again. “I mean, I don't know where to start.”

“Start wherever you want to.”

Dodo closed her eyes and put her head back on the chair. “It seems like so long ago when I first stumbled into the TARDIS.”

Zoe relaxed, preparing for the lengthy story she knew would follow.

An hour later, Dodo had told her story and sat back in the chair, exhausted.

Zoe stood, stretching her back. “Your story is terribly familiar, Dodo. Anyone who travels with the Doctor has similar stories, I know.”

“What do I do now?”

Zoe stood next to Dodo and bent to kiss her forehead. “For now, you just need to rest.”

Dodo smiled. “Will you be here when I wake up?”

Zoe thought of her promise to her Doctor. She promised to return as soon as she was sure that Dodo was safe and well. She nodded. “I'll stay as long as you need me.” The Doctor and Jamie would just have to find something to do while she was taking care of Dodo.

Mr. Smith/TARDIS, One/Ian, Six/Governor (Vengeance on Varos)

Mr. Smith/TARDIS

[doreyg.livejournal.com]

The TARDIS fascinates him, she’s so… Different, so otherworldly, so complicated compared to the simple mechanisms around him… From the moment they first brushed he had been obsessed, enamoured… After all, she was no normal creature at all.

Mr Smith fascinates her; it has been so long since she has communicated with anything like her… And the suddenly here he comes into her existence, with intelligence, charm and a sense of dedication tempered by a desire to do things his own way… From the moment he had first contacted her she had been enamoured, near obsessed… After all, he was no normal creature at all.

“…Doctor, what do those codes mean?”

“Honestly Luke, you’re better off not knowing.”
