Still on the Eighth Doctor books. Still doing quite a bit of fangirling over the Eight/Fitz. Also The Turing Test, which does not have Fitz but does have (unrequited) Eight/Alan Turing historical RPS.


The Doctor stood up, a look of amazement on his face, and then to Fitz's considerable surprise he bounded over, grabbed his head and planted a kiss squarely on his lips. "Oh, Fitz! Fitz, Fitz, Fitz! I'm so glad you're alive!"

Fitz staggered back, overwhelmed. "Glad to see you too." he murmured, feeling himself blushing under Professor Nagel's stare of amazement and mirth.

The Doctor took Fitz's hand and kissed it delicately.

- Stephen Cole, To The Slaughter - may not be the exact wording as I skimmed it in the bookshop and reluctantly decided I couldn't buy it based on one line, however lovely.


[Fitz has been brainwashed into loving a woman called Carmodi. Near the end of the book, as the bad guys are about to kill the Doctor Carmodi is trying to make her excape, with Fitz in tow:]
Carmodi was pushing him hard in the small of his back towards the ramp. "Forget him!"

Fitz stood his ground. What was he doing? Leaving the Doctor to fend for himself? What was he thinking of? "No, wait, I can't. The Doctor..."

A fuzzy blur in his mind, Carmodi's face, a shudder through his heart and... no.

Not again.

"You go if you want. I must help him."

"Fitz!"

"I've been engineered to love you, Carmodi. With the Doctor - it's the real thing."

Fitz pushed past Carmodi and set off at a run.

- Paul Ebbs, The Book of the Still. Also notable for the revelation that Fitz is equally (un)attracted to the Doctor and Anji, and the dream where Fitz and the Doctor get married...

Turing Test was interesting, but it confused me. As my introduction to Eighth Doctor novels, it was probably not the best one to start with... but it was the first one of the few I've found.

No one can convince me that the Eighth Doctor doesn't swing that way, at least some of the time. He's probably just too nice to do anything about it, except be all unconditional.

I think I must look through a bit closely to find the Fitz books. Mm. Haven't seen them yet, though. Just ones with Sam, mostly.

Love for the last quote. Though I think everyone loves the Eighth Doctor. Is possibly why Ninth turns out to be a bit less likeable for people at first.

Also, Fitz is kind of messed up in the head, isn't he? Poor chap.

I love Fitz soooo much. As for Fitz and the Doctor... I think you need to read Halflife, if you haven't already.

It really couldn't be any more obvious. I love it!
