Oh, I love this! I like the solution to how Sarah gets back from Aberdeen, the description of what a bus ticket is for and the clock.

I especially liked:

“Even though, when you have the whole universe to choose from, Aberdeen is near to Croydon and he really did quite well,” Harry finishes, keeping a carefully straight face.

and the TARDIS Matchmaking Service :)

[agapi42]

Thank you so much!

The TARDIS Matchmaker thing comes from the time when I counted up how many companions wouldn't have married the person they married without becoming involved with the Doctor to disprove my friend's claim that 'all the old companions left to marry people they'd just met'.
It came to nine.

[paranoidangel42]

That's not even half! But sometimes it seems like that's what they all did.

[agapi42]

I think it might be about a third.
And interestingly, two thirds (ie. six) of the nine were First Doctor companions.

Why am I thinking in statistics? I hate maths!

[cosmic_llin]

Oh, this is lovely! I adore the idea of the Doctor sending Harry to fetch Sarah, and this is beautifully written and sweet and yay!

[agapi42]

Yay! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

Brilliant, brilliant solution to how she got back.

She leans up and kisses him. “I promised the Doctor I’d give you his love.”

“Just his?”

That's adorable. I can't believe this is the first time you've written Sarah as a main character!

[agapi42]

Aww, thank you!

She's one of four companions in the story that I'm posting over at ff.net (haven't updated in a few months, though) which is basically my excuse to explore a zillion different timelines and explore where they split off and just really to play around with the concept that fascinates me but that's SJA Sarah or one of many alternate Sarahs with maybe a paragraph or two in each chapter.
SJA Sarah and Doctor Who Sarah are different, I think. So I watched Genesis of the Daleks and The Hand of Fear, cheering at my pre-cognisant choice of DVDs.

[atraphoenix]

Oh yes, definitely different. Not in a bad way, more a 'forced to change' kind of way, really.

Link to the story please? I haven't seen it, but it sounds like a fun concept XD

[agapi42]

*sighs* Don't judge me, okay? I am very very nervous about people reading the stuff in my ff.net account because it documents my Ten/Rose batshipping and also because I'm very uncertain about how good it actually is.
