luna_k's running an anon love meme. Is lots of fun, if you don't mind telling LJ you're human every post (discrimination against Time Lords and other non-humans, I say).

I'm marathoning old school Who, the Fourth and Fifth Doctors. I noticed that Romana calls herself a Time Lord at one point - is 'Time Lady' fanon, then? And it's perfectly normal to be a bit in love with the (Anthony Ainley) Master, isn't it? With his beard and high neck thing and the constant chuckling? Just me? And Master/Nyssa wouldn't be bad and wrong *at all* even though he's occupying her father's body? Oh, it would? Oh well. Guess that goes for Peri and her stepdad too...

I need to go to bed and not stay up watching the rest of Planet of Fire, even though it seems to confirm my theory that the companions have a clause in their contract that says they have to get their kit off on their last appearance. Terminus: Nyssa loses her skirt and wanders around in a vest and knickers. Planet of Fire: Turlough strips down to some very tight, very short shorts, then takes them off and dives into the sea in a shirt and swimming trunks. QED. And Peri's got it ass-backwards, so she spends her first episode in a tiny pink bikini.

ETA: I have a notoriously awful record with this type of meme, but it'll be interesting to see what results. Give me a pairing, character, (or gen if you so prefer), a prompt (whether it's just one word, a line of lyrics, a mood -- whatever) and I'll write you one line of fic.

Romana II doesn't undress in her final episode...at least, not that I recall, and I think I would!

Dammit. I haven't seen it, I was living in hope...

Hmm, Four/Romana II. This was meant to be a line, and then expanded. So, City of Death mini-thing.

"This guidebook," Romana said, peering at it seriously, "says that Paris is the city of love."

"Does it, does it?" The Doctor was half listening, far more interested in how she was keeping her hat at such an improbable angle. Pins, no doubt, unless she'd rigged up a gravity device of some sort. "Well, it's a terribly romantic city, Paris. You can hardly cross the street without somebody trying to kiss you or whisk you away for a debauched weekend in Saint Moritz. Although that only happened to me the once."

She was awfully pretty when she frowned. It was a surprising thought, and followed by the equally surprising one that she was awfully pretty all of the time.

"I've been here for nearly three days," she said, closing the book with a snap. "And not even one person's tried to kiss me."

Well, there was only one sensible response to that.

Hooray! I love this - especially the Doctor wondering if Romana's rigged up a gravity device on her hat. (Which seems like something she would do!)
