Beyond the Roundels

I said I might finish the other fic today. It is Public Eye, but it's also a series of crossover vignettes & (I hope) no real knowledge of PE is needed.

I said, when I first watched S4, that there ought to be a companion series where Mrs Mortimer sorted out people's problems at her B&B and though, really, she is too sensible for that to work in the same way, it's still enough for a fic.

Rating: All ages / PG
Word Count: WIP
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Ben Jackson, Polly
Warnings: None.

Summary: Out on a wintry moor, the TARDIS crew encounter a lone traveller and a mysterious tower.

While not truthfully written for stellastars's birthday (I actually wrote pretty much all of the longhand version in late November, after the first hard frost, which seems amusing now), the thought that fic involving Ben and Polly might be a nice offering did make me join in the latest round of fic_rush and finish Part One last night. :-D

Currently still waiting approval on Teaspoon, so be patient.

I did warn you, didn't I? (Not yet up on Teaspoon, but in time...) Edit And now it's been approved, for all the world to see.

Title Five Times Polly Patched Up Ben (And One Time Ben Got To Do The Honours)
author lost_spook
Rating All ages
Characters Second Doctor, Ben Jackson, Polly, Jamie McCrimmon
Summary In which Ben gets injured by everything from Cybermen to TARDIS appliances. Luckily for him, Polly's always there to pick up the pieces. More or less, anyway. (Being an unashamedly Ben/Polly fic, of course).

Written to cheer myself up on a rainy morning last week and because I don't seem to be any nearer to writing anything sensible with Ben and Polly in it and there really can't be enough fic with the two of them in for my liking. It's bad enough that so many of their episodes are missing.

I met them first through novelisations and PDAs and so on, all of which coyly suggested that just possibly, maybe, Ben might like Polly and vice versa. Finally getting to watch The War Machines and discovering there was nothing coy or maybe about it amused me no end. (Although possibly not as much as Polly in The Power of the Daleks when she harangues her kidnapper for threatening a helpless female and tells him he wouldn't be so brave if he was facing "a real man - like Ben!" Mind you, Ben's worrying that Polly only wants a bit of rough to mess about with is also... Is this still Doctor Who? How can you not love them?)
