Firefly RPS: Doctor Who, (Alan/Nathan), G, 421 words
This is a little drabble I wrote for randominity who [ said she wanted fic] about Nathan showing Alan the new Doctor Who show, and complaining about the edits made to the US version. I compiled, randomly.
Title: Doctor Who
Pairing: Alanathan
Rating: G
Word Count: 431
Warnings: mild Doctor Who (2005) spoilers, as well as much Star Trek geekery.
Disclaimer: I don't know these people, nor their sexuality. This is meant as fictional fun, and nothing more.
Alan squinted. “So, wait, he’s the ninth Doctor?”
Nathan nodded excitedly, gesturing with his hand toward the television, which was just now airing the closing credits for the 2005 BBC revival of Doctor Who, which had just finished it’s first American broadcast. “Yes! See, the Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey and Time Lords have the ability to regenerate twelve times. So, when they’re killed they-”
Alan raised a hand, effectively cutting Nathan off. “Is this going to be like the time you explained why T’Pol had pointy ears by reiterating every bit of Vulcan lore from every episode of Star Trek, starting from the, that . . . weird piloty one from 1966?”
“With Christopher Pike.” Nathan nodded sagaciously. “Well, it’s good to know back story when you’re coming into a show like this!”
Alan leaned back on the sofa. “I don’t know why I let you talk me into watching this sort of thing.”
Nathan leaned against Alan, grinning. “’Cause you love me.”
Alan snorted. “I’m gonna start showing you reruns of Dynasty. Talk about good back story.”
Nathan glared at the TV as the credits ended and the Sci Fi Channel went to commercial break. “I still can’t believe they cut the hand porn.”
”Hand . . . porn?” Alan glanced questioningly at Nathan, before sitting up. “Wait, actually, I don’t think I want to know.”
“It’s not bad! Just that the Doctor and Rose occasionally hold hands. And they’ve cut most of those scenes. It’s really cute. They’re couplish in the British version! They’ve cut it out.”
Alan shrugged. “Well, he is like . . . forty. That’s a bit weird.”
”He’s nine-hundred, but that’s beside the point.” Nathan turned to Alan, his eyes serious. “It’d be like Sci Fi cutting out all the Simon/River moments from Firefly.”
A dawning look of comprehension stole across Alan’s face. “Well, that would suck, yes. Let’s never let our show get picked up by the Sci Fi Channel. Hell, they’d probably edit it so Mal wasn’t gay at all.”
Nathan laughed. “Mal is perfectly straight, I’ll have you know. Didn’t you see that very heterosexual sex scene I had with Melinda?” Alan rolled his eyes as Nathan turned back to the TV. “Well, this is more! The Doctor and Rose’s relationship is important, later. It’s really important! There is kissing!”
Alan quickly put his index fingers in his ears. “Hey, watch those spoilers, Nate! Lalalala!”
“I knew I’d get you addicted to this show!” Nathan grinned wickedly, launched himself at Alan, and began to mercilessly tickle him.
