Nice! You make a great case for Five/Tegan. I haven't yet read some of the stories you mention, and this post reminds me that I've been meaning to update my Five/Tegan list for, um, years. So I'm going to clean that up somewhat tonight. :)

[lost_spook]

Thank you! And hurrah for updated lists! :-)

I think it's a nice argument for Five/Tegan. I don't particulary ship them, but then I don't ship anyone hard. I can readily see what you mean, though. They do work well for a certain kind of argumentive relationship. :)

Thank you! :-)

Yeah, basically as someone who, he claims, doesn't ship the Doctor with (human) companions, Five/Tegan is the one I secretly half-believe must have happened. As you say, everybody knows what a man and a woman arguing that much in the early 80s must inevitably lead to...

Plus, Fivey was clearly rebounding hard from Romana at the time, so it all makes perfect sense, really.

It is a truth universally acknowledged... Plus, those two are great fun and they definitely have a few sparks between them. (Oh, wait, I think I covered that part with the whole ship manifesto thing!)

Thanks!
