Do fish have fingers?

[anonymous]

Arthur: *staring at box of fish fingers* Do fish have fingers?

Just give me some Arthur/Martin fluff based on that. ^_^

Can't say I'll fill this, but this is what came into my head when I read that. I would love to see this prompt filled!

Arthur: (curious) ...do fish have fingers?

Martin: (patient, but exasperated) No, Arthur.

Douglas walks by & overhears the conversation

Douglas: (...Douglas-y) Well, not anymore.

Great, Douglas, thanks for undoing the whole educational effort of the past 15 minutes. >:o

Brilliant pun! :D

OP here!

[anonymous]

Thank you /so/ much. Now I'm picturing it being an ongoing battely between Martin and Douglas to convince Arthur that fish don't/do have fingers. XD

Re: OP here!

[elvendork_lee]

Hehe, oh I can definitely see that happening. XP

I also love that "Douglas-y" is an indication of tone, because a "Douglas-y" manner is precisely how Douglas says things. It's like a distinct, proprietary blend of snark, sarcasm, facetiousness, and charm.

It is, isn't it?! Haha, I just couldn't think of any other way to describe it.

FILL: Fish Fingers and Custard

[elvendork_lee]

I said I wasn't going to do it...but I had to. It wouldn't leave me alone. I hope you enjoy it, and though it's probably not entirely what you were after this is what came into my head.

Anyone else please feel free to add another fill...

Thank you!! :)

OP

Oh my God! You just appealed to every bit of my DW fangirlishness! (Which is actually where I got the idea. When the TARDIS said it my first thought was "Arthur!") And Martin is /so/ a closet DW fanboy.

And now I really want to read a fanfic where he is and Douglas mocks him mercilessly while, in the same week, old episodes mysteriously start appearing on Martin's desk... XD

Love the fill. Love it sooo much. And everyone was so-so BRILLIANT!

Re: OP

[elvendork_lee]

Thank you!!! I just couldn't resist it - fish fingers are now forever linked to DW in my head and Martin is the perfect candidate for fanboyishness...although...I actually just had another thought on the "Douglas finds out Martin is a fan" front...what if he found out, and teased Martin - but then accidentally revealed that HE'S a fan too?!

Or, Arthur finds out/is also a fan, and insists on a DW marathon to pass the time while they're on standby - Douglas inadvertently finds himself getting really invested in it, like shouting at the TV and stuff...and hilarity ensures.

(Actually, anyone who reads this can officially take either of those as a prompt. It could be standalone or a sequel to this, I don't mind! XP)

*huggles OP back* Thank you for such an awesome prompt.

Re: OP

[anonymous]

Exactly! Like, he's teasing Martin, while atbthe same time "lending" Marting his old DVD's of seasons long past (like Doc #4), and then accidentaly makes a reference and Martin stares in shock and just goes "you put thoes old episodes on my desk, didn't you?" YES!

Yes, yes, YESSSSS!!!

(Please? Someone please do that? We'll both forever be greatfull...)

You are very welcome. And don't thank me - thank the TARDIS for saying "do fish have fingers?" in the first place!
