Doctor Who Things That I Want #594

[banrionceallach]

 A Rose/Ten fic that doesn’t denigrate Martha and acknowledges how important she was to the Doctor without being too heavy-handed on the 'but he's not In Love with her' bit

A Martha/Ten fic that doesn’t denigrate Rose, acknowledges how important she was to the Doctor and doesn't ignore the fact that he was canonically somewhat in love with Rose and understands that that doesn't mean he can't sincerely be in love with Martha as well.  (I despise Only One REAL True Love as a trope)

A Donna/Ten fic that doesn’t denigrate Rose and Martha etc, etc you get the picture now.

Also:

A Fic where Rose, Martha and Donna go out for drinks (Meta-crisis? What meta-crisis? Shush!)  and spend the entire night absolutely roasting the Doctor before calling him up to take them home because they forgot taxi money.

Just imagine Ten trying to herd three drunk companions into the Tardis while they point at him randomly and just start laughing. 

Martha is vacillating between 'You’re My Besht MAte' drunk and 'You Absholute Fucker 1913 really? Really?' 

Rose has lost a shoe, giggles every time she looks at Ten and is righteously nodding at him in support of Martha, because A Maid? In 1913? 'Martha you ish a shaint. I would’ve deckedsh him on the firsht day.'

Donna gets halfway through a speech on how he’s a shameless skinny flirt, is sick on his shoes, sighs with relief and then goes off to have a shower. 

It's at this point that Rose and Martha start singing pop songs from the early 2000s

Ten regrets all his life choices.

this is adorable! and, yeah, i hate when stories can only have one *good* love interest and the lead can't care about anyone else sincerely.

Right? That's just . . . so very emotionally unhealthy. People should be allowed to care about someone other than their current/past love interest without other people screaming 'BEtrayal!!'.

Honestly I just love the idea of all the Doctor's companions being besties. Especially Rose & Martha. Like, imagine the Doctor is awkwardly nervous about introducing them for y'know obvious reasons, but it takes .05 seconds for Rose to say something that makes Martha laugh and then Martha says something like 'so did your mum smack him across the face as well?' jokingly, but Rose is like 'she DID! Omg samesies!' and then they're both just laughing and talking at 90kmph and Ten is just standing there wondering how his life came to this.
