Belated Birthday Fic

Jun 17, 2010 20:57

I was making an effort to actually write tonight, and stumbled across my rather odd effort at birthday fic for jjpor. It's not exactly what I would call a story, and my efforts at doing Doctor-related OTPs fail as always, but it came out of one of those epic LJ conversations we've had (where we make the thread go about as thin as a needle), this one ( Read more... )

Heh, thanks so much. It was really my effort to write a multi-Doctor/Romana fic for jjpor for his birthday, but I failed. I just have this issue with all-Doctors/One person ships - if they are in any way being taken seriously by a lot of people, that is (so the three Rs all trouble me, depending on how it's handled) simply because the relationship the audience invests in is the 'now' one, romantic or not, between the Doctor and companion (whoever it is) and that has its own magic, that would be tarnished by the Doctor pushing them aside if his One True Love suddenly appeared. So it because an awkward marriage between the two and I gave it up for lost, but when I read it last night, I cut it back a bit & thought it was worth posting. So thanks for your comments (and sorry for the epic reply). (Although I think I deserve bonus points for quashing my inner Five/Tegan shipper for birthday purposes! :lol:)

And, as to Peri, I do think that explains a lot about her and Six, because she throws herself into this adventure recklessly, because she wants travel and to run away, and thinks Five is cute (she says as much)... and that no matter how odd he becomes that fact lies between them. And of course, he becomes very much 'her' Doctor. :-D

...And I think you're going to have to write that fic! I have to say, when I reread it, I kept thinking of little Amelia whenever the name came up and how much fun that would be. :-D
