Author: lost_spook

Characters/Pairings: Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Liz Shaw, Doris, Fiona Lethbridge-Stewart, Third Doctor.
Warnings: None. Except for my random speculations about Doris that are totally non-canonical.

Summary: The Brigadier returns to find three women waiting in his office. This is probably the most unlikely thing that's happened at UNIT yet, barring aliens.

primsong left this idea lying about on dw_straybunnies and before I knew where I was there was fic before breakfast.

This was amusing - but you have a "now" for a "no" in there...

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks. I have fixed it! (At least it wasn't a not for now... :lol:)

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

True!

Dear oh dear, poor Brigadier... loved seeing how you played this out, we know so little about Fiona. (which makes me wonder if anyone has ever developed her further? She isn't in any audios or anything is she?)

[thisbluespirit]

I've not seen anything very much, I have to say and I'm not aware of her being in any of the audios. I'm glad you liked it. :-)

I left a comment on Teaspoon, but on further reflection: Is it possible that the Doctor thought it was a good idea because Time Lords have thirteen wives as well as thirteen lives, and it's the custom for them all to meet up with their beau at regular intervals?

(And the converse, of course: Time Ladies would have thirteen husbands. Leading to some truly involved love triskaidecagons.)

Not sure if this is a coherent enough plotbunny, but I might try knocking it into shape and offering it up on your comm.

It certainly sounds fairly crazy. I know, I really should have left it as the Master, but I couldn't resist that being the ending. I actually deleted it because of the lack of real logic for the Doctor thinking he would like it, but assumed that it could be read that he's being slightly facetious, even to himself... What the Brigadier did to annoy him, I don't know.

But if it sparks off more crazy fic, I'm doubly glad I reinstated the line. :lol:

LOL!

Out of interest, what was the conclusion about Doris that has no foundation in canon or spin-offs? Because I thought your version fitted rather neatly with the Doris of the books (based on Nick Courtney's own speculations, IIRC).

Thanks.

Well, I haven't read any books with Doris in, so if I've matched anything said there, I did it completely accidentally. :-) It was her working for somewhere like MI5, I thought was the result of me watching too much Spooks... :-)
