Down With The Ship (Turlough/9th Doctor, drabble)
] The starship shuddered as explosions tore through important parts of its main engine.
"Go on, then," one of the two remaining people on the bridge said. "Tell me how bad things are."
"Vislor--" the other began.
"First name terms, so we're going to die. Which would you rather, last rites or a farewell shag?"
"If you'd shut up for a second," the Doctor said, "I was going to say if you left at once you could make it to the escape capsules."
Turlough shook his head. "I seem to have developed a sense of loyalty to you. It's very inconvenient." [

and no, no it was UNwise as Cybermen are scary and I REALLY want to like what with your warped writings and lovely deadpan sense of humor, but being that you will try to convert me the friendship is nipped in the bud, plus I'ma timelady and will have to fight you if you don't level up soon That's very nice of you, I hope. (Warped writings? I don't know what you mean )

Awwwww. That one was actually really cute. Or as cute as Turlough/Nine can be. = )

I liked that one too - not something I'd have previously considered I'd say about the idea of Nine/Turlough... ;D

That Turlough/nine one was strangely appropriate *quietly inserts into head!canon*

Okay, I can almost see that one - which is bizarre....

By Way Of Demonstration (Nyssa/Sarah Jane, drabble)
]"It's very good of you to see me," Sarah said, opening her notebook. "Now, Ms Traherne--"
"Nyssa, please."
"You're an expert on the Archangel technology, I understand."
"Correct."
"And you're decommissioning the network, because of health concerns. What kind of concerns?"
"Well," Nyssa said. "It's designed to combine the latent psychic energies of a planetary population, under the control of one person-- call them the Keeper. Like this."
And suddenly, Sarah was kneeling before Nyssa, her head swimming.
"Wouldn't you consider that dangerous?" Nyssa asked.
Sarah was inclined to agree. But she actually said: "Kinky. Do that to me again." [

Dear me... um..... Sarah, dear, are you feeling all right? How in the world do you come up with these?

How in the world do you come up with these? I hasten to assure you that they're not based on personal experience. (Actually, for Nyssa/Sarah, I wanted to write a terribly romantic sonnet from Sarah's point of view, but it ended up with, to paraphrase Pope, ten low words creeping in one dull line).

Heheh - see, that's the Sarah of old! I think... But very nice tie-in to Keeper of Traken too - these continue not to disappoint! ;D

Take Me For What I'm Worth (Romana I / Susan, drabble)
] "The Doctor did tell me about you," Romana said. "But were in a queue for a Searchers concert at the time, so I was inevitably a little preoccupied."
Susan's eyes widened. "You're a Searchers fan?"
"I'm not sure about 'fan,'" Romana said offhandedly. "The Doctor took me to a couple of their concerts, and Spencer James gave me his autograph..."
"Marry me."
Romana looked her up and down, then pulled out a handheld computer and consulted it for some time.
"Why not?" she said. "I'm only up to three spouses so far. Do you like your engagements short or long?" [

Lol.... Weirdly enough, that suits both of them, especially Romana. X-D

Heheh - that is Romana I, though - the pure weirdity delivered in deadpan, matter of fact, style... Excellent stuff.

This came out double the normal length; can't imagine why The Initiation (Zoe/Leela, double drabble) ] Despite her obvious exhaustion, Zoe tried to keep dancing, but it was too much for her. She collapsed onto the dirt floor of the hut.
"Was..." She ran out of breath, and started again. "Was that enough?"
"Your initiation is complete," Leela decided.
"And that's what they made you do, when you became a Sevateem warrior?"
Leela snorted. "Of course not. Why would we do such a stupid thing? I invented this ritual last night."
"Why?" Zoe asked, staring up at her in astonishment.
"You think I am a credulous savage. You expect savages to do such things, so you believed me when I told you we did this. And now, who is credulous?" She looked down at Zoe lying naked in the dirt, her body painted with elaborate designs. "And who is the savage?"
"You did all this just to prove a point?"
"And..." Leela hesitated. "And because I longed to see you like this. You fascinate me, Tesh girl."
Zoe suddenly rolled onto her back, and grinned.
"I'm starting a tribe," she said. "I can do that, if I'm a savage. Would you like to join? Take your clothes off and we can start initiating you straight away."

Double the, er... Yes...
Excellent though - I liked the way you captured Leela's simple-but-not-stupid quality, and it was indeed a fair point she was making. And who can blame her for the other part? Spangly jumpsuits have that effect on people. ;D

Is it bad if I actually liked that one? And thought it was kinda cute?

Is it bad if I actually liked that one? Not to my way of thinking. You can like it as much as you, er, like. ;D This one, on the other hand... Cards on the Table (Three/Eleven, drabble) ] The Eleventh Doctor laid down his cards in triumph. "Full house."
"Sorry, old chap." The Third Doctor displayed his own hand. "Four aces."
"If you weren't me I'd suspect you of cheating," the Eleventh said. He removed his shirt, then carefully replaced his bowtie. "My turn to deal."
"Cheating has nothing to do with it. You'd do far better to face up to the facts."
The Eleventh Doctor suddenly leaned forward. "Ha! Caught red-handed! Is that a sonic screwdriver in your pocket or-- sorry, trick of the light."
"That's right," the Third replied calmly. "I'm just pleased to see you."

I have to admit I loved his carefully replacing the bow tie too - lolz....
