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/C'rizz

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

Charley thinks he’s a good person.

She’s wrong. Utterly wrong. And yet… she’s also completely correct. He is a good person when he’s around her. It isn’t a show for her benefit, or a scam to garner sympathy; he is honestly and truly better whenever he’s near her.

He’s a Eutermisian, and no one in this universe has the remotest clue what that means. (Well, that’s not completely true. The Doctor suspects. Suspects, but doesn’t fully understand.) He doesn’t just change his skin color to match his physical surroundings; his personality adapts to his social surroundings as well. When he’s with the Doctor, he’s heroic and devious; when he’s with villains, he can feel evil trying to swallow him whole; but when he’s with Charley? Let’s just say that a reading of his own heart assures C’rizz that she’s the best person he’s ever met.

Charley thinks the most remarkable thing about being a Eutermisian is being able to produce blue and yellow polka dots on command. He’d like to keep it that way. If she understood that he’s only a good person when he’s around her, that he has no moral compass of his own, she wouldn’t want him to be around her, and he couldn’t bear that.

C’rizz loves Charley. More than that, he needs her. Since Lyda died, he’s come to understand the blackness in his soul…blackness that simply doesn’t exist whenever he’s adapting to Charley’s company. Charley makes him clean again; she absolves him of his sins because they don’t exist in her presence.

C’rizz loves Charley; how could he not? She’s the only reason he doesn’t hate himself.
