What books/episodes inspire you to write 10/Martha?

I have been toying with starting my first ever Doctor Who fan-fic (I've written for other sci-fi fandoms before). I was wondering, since so many great writers post to this community, what episodes/books have really inspired you to write a 10/Martha story? For me, episode-wise it's "42", "Shakespeare Code" and of course "Blink". For novels, it's The

Books: "Wetworld", "The Pirate Loop" and "Peacemaker".

Episodes: "Smith and Jones", "The Shakespeare Code", "42", "Human Nature"/"Family of Blood" and "Blink".

I've yet to write any fics actually set around S&J, but watching it made me want to write Martha. TSC inspired a brief series (Healing?), and the remaining four on that list have spawned a number of stories/series of varying lengths from Drabble-ish to epic-ish !

And "Reset" from Torchwood's Season 2 is my new jumping off point for post-S3 fic featuring Martha and various other characters.

Can't wait to read the Post S3 story inspired by 'Reset'. I've watched Smith & Jones so many times, but for some reason the plot bunnies never come to me the way do when I watch the later episodes.

I did have an idea for a missing scene fic for S&J but I've never yet done anything with it...

I can't believe I forgot Smith and Jones. It's non-stop shippiness, really, isn't it? With the kissing and the flirting and the let-me-seduce-you-aboard-my-timeship and the literal restarting of his hearts.

I really can't believe I forgot it. In fact, it's going to have to go right to the top of my rewatch pile.

It really is non-stop shippiness - is it any wonder so many people had such high expectations for lots of fantastic UST between Ten'n'Martha ? Which RTD then smashed into thousands of tiny pieces !
