some Sarah Jane drabbles
Title: Cartography
Rating: T
Characters/Pairings: Four/Sarah Jane
Summary: When promising to take someone 'straight back to London,' you might want to define your terms.
They’re laughing as they enter the TARDIS, the Doctor tugging at her hand, and smiles flashing between them like light on the water. He’s pulling her down the hall, and she’s laughing even harder, “Doctor, I thought we were heading straight to London-”
“Oh dear,” he says with a grin like a mad lion. “Did I neglect to tell you? I’ve recently renamed my bedroom ‘London.’”
And they tumble through the door and onto the bed-which, in between kisses, the Doctor informs her has been renamed ‘Trafalgar Square’-and conduct a tour not offered by even the most exclusive travel agency.
Title: Florana
Rating: All Ages
Characters/Pairings: Three, Four, Sarah Jane/Jo
Prompt: Three and Jo meet Four and Sarah Jane on Florana
Summary: Sarah Jane has a problem with misdirected jealousy. I know, you're all shocked.
Seventeen passive-aggressive comments, three blonde jokes, one completely undignified temper tantrum-thankfully witnessed only by herself and her current version of the Doctor-and two smashed vases later, Sarah Jane was forced to face facts:
It was impossible not to like Jo Grant.
Jo was sweet. Jo was funny. Jo knew how to turn a fire extinguisher into a bomb, and apologized profusely to the evil genius trying to conquer Florana after she demolished his laboratory.
Jo actually seemed to like her, even though Sarah Jane’s major contribution to the mission had been muttering sarcastic comments. Well, she supposed she had managed to distract the guard by screaming her bloody head off.
It was silly to try to dislike Jo just because both Doctors seemed to spend a lot of time noticing how good she looked in a bikini.
“I’ve been a perfect idiot,” she told Jo. “Truce, please?”
It turned out that Jo interpreted ‘truce, please’ as ‘kiss me,’ and it further turned out that she was right.
Sarah Jane kissed her back, and vowed silently to never waste time being irrationally jealous of a younger blonde woman again.
Title: He Says
Rating: All Ages
Characters/Pairings: Four/Sarah Jane
Prompt: Four/Sarah Jane fluff, one comforting the other, possibly on the TARDIS.
Summary: What does it feel like to be constantly made in a weapon against someone you love?
Her mind is lovely, he tells her, at the end of those long days of sweat and blood and fear when she lies curled in her bed and shaking because he almost died, because she almost killed him, because his enemies made her into a weapon again.
Her mind is lovely, he says in his low rumbling voice, and he paints pictures for her with his words. The gears whirring and ticking and so perfectly synchronized, deceptive simplicity that unfolds into layers and layers of complex thought in M.C. Escher spirals. The way it opens at a touch is not weakness but beauty, the unfurling of a flower or the dawning of a sun, a miracle of trust.
Her mind is lovely, he says, over and over again, until she believes him.
