Title: Five Times the Doctor Got in the Way of Captain Janeway (and One Time They Got Along Just Fine)
Author: lost_spook
Word Count: 5444
Rating: All ages
Characters/Pairings: Eleventh Doctor, First Doctor, Vicki, Third Doctor, Jo Grant, Ninth Doctor, Eighth Doctor, Charley Pollard, Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay, Tom Paris, Tuvok
Summary: Captain Janeway doesn't think much of time travellers and higher beings who turn up on board her ship. The Doctor doesn't take much notice of prime directives. It's a tea vs coffee thing.

I wrote this for the dw_straybunnies October Prompt of the Month. I don't know whether it's more ridiculous that I randomly picked my own prompt, that I ended up writing for it, that I was right up against the deadline, or that I didn't even exactly keep to the prompt. (It was just I had a sudden, entertaining vision of if lots of people wrote the prompt and Janeway was repeatedly confronted by versions of the Doctor lecturing her on time travel, and then there was a plot bunny bounding about...)

Anyway, I'm always happy to wind up writing multi-era nonsense. Already on Teaspoon (I was literally fighting the deadline last night - no time for LJ posts... Or watching Downton Abbey, darn the thing. Will be watching that very shortly!)

I shouldn't have even thought about this...

"They've all gone. I lost Rose... and then there was Martha. She left me. And Donna... I kind of lost her, too. And then I wound up with Elizabeth I, which was what reminded me of you, Kathy -."

What time is it now? wondered Janeway, and her hand went to her comm badge. "Commander, is there a crisis on the bridge, by any chance?"

"Everything's calm here, Captain."

"Well, I'm not, so invent one. I'll stand you dinner for a month if you do."

The Doctor had become aware he had lost her full attention, and resurfaced from his epic misery. "I'm sorry, what was that? Did you say there was a crisis?"

Janeway swallowed, and considered. It might be worth making a sacrifice to get through this. "Actually... it's my replicator. You wouldn't mind taking a look at it, would you? I've been thinking about switching from coffee to tea - and it doesn't seem to be able to get used to the idea." She glanced at the ceiling, adding in an undertone: "Can't imagine why."

The Doctor brightened instantly, and produced his sonic screwdriver. "Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll just adjust this, and if I take a look in here and twist that a bit..."

What have I done? she wondered, and returned to the comm badge. "Commander, belay my last order. Stand by - I've created a crisis myself. You have my apologies for whatever is about to happen next."

"Captain?"

"I'm feeling sleep-deprived, caffeine-deprived, and reckless," she returned. "Now, I think we're about to be drowned in tea at the very least, so prepare yourself for the worst, Commander. I'm just hoping he'll give me an excuse to throw him off the ship before he starts calling me Aunt Kathy."

"Is he likely to?"

"I don't know, but he's already said I remind him of Elizabeth the First, so I'm not willing to take the chance."

There was a too-obvious silence at the other end.

"Is there something funny about that?"

"Of course not, Captain."

Heh, glad you managed to avert that disaster (which I would accept NO blame whatsoever for, obviously)... ;-)
