Poor Liz! The Brig was a bit too calm, methinks, for her state of mind!

Small typo:

She said quickly, kissing his cheek as she moved passed him to the suitcase at the bottom of the steps.

That should be "past" not "passed" (or you could take out the "moved" and it would be correct as "passed".)

My thinking was the Brig had dealt with all the drama and just wanted to get home, and unfortunately Liz hadn't had the chance to deal with all the drama so she was all fussy. Which is weird because I usually write him being the one that fusses.

I don't even know any more, I just want to write them as many ways as possible. If Liz/Brig is a curse, then I've got it bad.

That's what I get for rewriting sentences. And I'd like to make it clear that I don't only love you for the fact that you tell me things like this, but it's definitely up there in the top three reasons.

Heh, there's a lot to be said for having Liz/Brig bad!:D

I can understand that the Brig's been through the stress and calmed down again, but I can also see that Liz hasn't had that so she's reacting less rationally...

*blushes* I don't think I should ask what the other two "top three reasons" are...

There is indeed. I think we should infect people with Liz/Brig just so others get it bad and we get more Liz/Brig'ness.

Indeed and he's remaining calm so as not to make it worse. Cos you don't necessarily want to start worrying about things around a person who's already at that irrational point. It's like poking a half-awake bear.

You've asked for it now...

Top Three Reasons I Love persiflage_1
1. Our review conversations always make me smile and think.
2. We somehow managed to find out a lot (probably all) about what we both like in Who fandom in the space of 30mins after only just becoming acquainted.
3. Correcting me when I make a mistake ♥

Ah, so that's how it ends!

I had to laugh when she hit him - it's the kind of thing I'd do. 'I'm so glad you're OK< now come here so I can kill you...'

It is indeed. Glad you enjoyed it.

Lol, me too. Particularly when it turns out he's obviously been in the country long enough to be debriefed and see a Doctor not lying dead in Russia. :P

Aw, that was great, and surprisingly sweet. (Are we going to find out more about how they ended up married in the other challenges, given they're sadly not in canon. ;-D)

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the rest. (And, yes, Brig/Liz is a curse/obsession or something. It doesn't go away without the writing of a lot of fic... *sigh*)

:-)

Thank you very much ♥ and yes you are... for the entire 30 fics it'll be like you're in my brain witnessing my own personal canon. Lol, denial is everything when watching Doctor Who it seems. ;)

And, yes, Brig/Liz is a curse/obsession or something. It doesn't go away without the writing of a lot of fic... *sigh*

It's just a matter of converting others (or at least getting them in a Liz/Brig frame of mind) so you don't have to write it all yourself. :P

Well, there's something to look forward to. :lol: Denial is a nice place to visit.

:-D

I think I'm being slowly warmed to the whole Liz/Brig thing. I honestly never thought about it before, but it's fics like this that really make me think this is a REALLY good idea! ;-) Ok, consider me a Liz/Brig convert!

Thank you so much! ♥

*writes you down as a convert* One down... This is exciting to have others sharing my love.

*chants to self* I will convert the whole fandom, I will. I will convert the whole fandom, I will.

That suspicious chanting sounds a little like the B.O.S.S. computer in Green Death. ;-) Tee hee.
