ceebee_eebee | A Doctor Who Valentine... (Reply)

Well, today was a complete and utter exercise in futility and frustration, so I thought I would come home and do something I would really enjoy. As Valentine's Day is one of my most favorite holidays (everything is pink and red and sparkly and heart covered and yummy!), I decided I would create a gratuitously massive post of all the characters in Who that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. \o/

So, in honor of this very shiny holiday, I bring you:

A LOVE LETTER TO ALL MY FAVORITE (not necessarily romantic) TWOSOMES (and moresomes) in DOCTOR WHO

*as expressed through picspam and fic recs

And, of course, no post about LOVE in DW could start anywhere but with Two/Jamie. They are so completely and utterly in love with each other it borders on the absurd. I am convinced, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they spent the entirety of Jamie's life traveling together and that Two only regenerated after Jamie passed away of old age. CANON BE DAMNED. Look how ridiculously adorable they are!

Sure, every once in a while Two may have had a tender moment with Victoria:

And Jamie might have gotten a little friendly with a Yeti:

Or they may have even gotten Zoe involved:

But in the end, it was all came back to them. ::happy sigh::

I'm going to post a link to one short story for each of my Valentine's Day pairings that I think best illustrates their love for each other. Shockingly enough, these are all pretty gen (I know! It's crazy!), but this post is all about the love, not the hot-monkey-sex-in-the-TARDIS, so there ya go. For Two/Jamie, I'm gonna rec:

Heights

Now, on to Pertwee...

Considering what an obnoxious, arrogant, condescending bastard Three could be, I really do adore him and I think he had some serious love going on. It kills me that Liz Shaw and the Brigadier never got to travel with him in the TARDIS because they were a threesome made of WIN.

The Doctor clearly loved Liz:

(That pic kills me with the stealth sexiness)

And the Brig clearly loved Liz:

And the love between the three of them is blatantly obvious:

That is why for this threesome's story rec, I am going for a brilliant little piece that explores the "what if" of them travelling together in the TARDIS.

All These Things We've Done

But that's not all for Three. The dude definitely got around. And as much as everyone is all freaking out with the Ten/Simm!Master slash-a-rama, those two have NOTHING on the original Doctor/Master pairing of smoldering, issue-ladden, love-hate. I'm all about Three/Delgado!Master because honestly? Delgado!Master pwns the universe. ;-)

And this story is, quite possibly, one of my top 10 favorite stories in any fandom EVER. My love for this piece can not be textually rendered. You must read it and then you will understand why Three/Delgado!Master is the real best-enemy OTP.

Sweet Are the Uses

Moving along to the Sixth Doctor, I run into a problem. The problem is that my pairing of love and undying affection for this incarnation is Six/Evelyn and there really are no pics that exist of them, being an audio pairing and all. The best I could do was this shot of Colin Baker and Maggie Stables which I do actually think is pretty cute:

And I just adore this story:

The Chinese Remainder Theorem

Following Six, we get to Seven/Ace who love each other almost as blatantly as Jamie and Two. The scene in The Curse of Fenric where she licks his tie to wipe the dirt off of his nose? The squeeing sounds I make when I watch it are too embarassing to admit.

One of my favorite Seven/Ace stories is:

...Who Burned Like Starfire

I think it is beautifully written and so perfectly them. ::happy sigh::

Another BF audio pairing that is made of love and goodness is Eight/Charley. While I definitely don't ship them, I think their love and affection for each other is completely obvious.

And when you add a smiling Nicholas Courtney, EVEN BETTER!

As for a story rec, I haven't really read much Eight/Charley, but this one is quite sweet and I think it captures their relationship well.

Fetes and Fireworks

Now, just when you thought I was gonna keep this totally old skool, here I go shaking things up a bit. How could I possibly create a Valentine post about Who love without including my very first Doctor? Regardless of any ship wars, I think it's impossible to deny that Nine and Rose (and Jack) loved each other. Romantic or not, doesn't matter a bit to me.

I wish I had a better picture of Nine/Rose/Jack, but you get the idea:

And for a Ninth Doctor story rec, I am gonna go with an oldie but goodie. It was actually one of the very first stories I ever read in this fandom, and it's still one of my favorites.

A Phantom of Clouds

BUT WE ARE NOT DONE, NO WAY, NO HOW!!!

Sure, the Doctors all love their companions. But true love lasts millenia! And there is no truer love in the history of the universe than the love between the Doctor and his TARDIS.
