Meme from everyone:

Comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of, no matter how obvious you think the answers will be, and I'll reply to you with the relationships (canon or not) from it I 'ship. Also, you're free to reply in subthreads and ask me why I ship or don't ship something.

Hmm. That's not going to work for me since I do ship a lot, y'know. Maybe 'comment with the name/title of a fandom I'm aware of and some sort of qualifier like "het" or "threesomes" or "ships featuring a particular character"'? If it's a fandom I'm not familiar with I'll make something up; Veronica/Weevil 4eva, etc.

Doctor Who (yes, I'm original). How about Five's era?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

My two big ones are Five/Nyssa (see LJ layout) and Five/Turlough: the BBC or Big Finish could soak endless money out of me if they chose to, just by releasing stuff set between Time Flight/Arc of Infinity or Resurrection/Planet of Fire. I was never much on for Five/Tegan but the recent BF play convinced me I could go for it if it was snarky rather than schmoopy, and preferably with an older Tegan (especially since Five does seem terribly keen on women of a certain age: Dr Todd being a case in point)

I liked the Five/Peri in Caves of Androzani but since they're a pretty couple rather than an interesting one (IMO) I'm not sure how well it'd relate to fanfic.

Five/Tegan/Turlough could be the Best Thing Ever.

Intercompanion couplings: Tegan/Turlough because it'd be bitchy and hot and drive the poor Doctor mad. Tegan/Nyssa for the pretty and because I like Nyssa femslash (the who_otp drabble tag convinced me that someone needs to write epic Sarah Waters-style historical femslash with Nyssa and her double, Ann, from Black Orchid). Adric/Zoe because they're both pixie-ish geniuses who could be superior at each other and talk about maths.

Oh, and Five/the Master, though I'd raise my eyebrows a bit if it was anything other than angry, hate-filled and slightly unhinged. Flowers and chocolates are out, unless it's meant to be a comedy...

The layout is absolutely lovely, helped, of course, by the fact that Five and Nyssa are both very pretty (and I love the scene pictured). Were you the one who designed it? Five/Nyssa, themselves, are also great. They're very understated and gentle with one another, while retaining depth.

Five/Turlough. Guh, yes! In retrospect, watching Mawdryn Undead and following it up by listening to Singularity was probably a bad idea on my part. It just made me want more!

Agreed on Five/Tegan. The 'fighting = love' thing seems a little preset to me, though I do like them snarking as friends. And now I would love to see fic with the older Tegan.

I loved Caves of Androzani in general, but sadly, I'm one of those people who can't deal with Peri's accent. I don't mind her in fic, and she's certainly pleasant to look at, but the voice (and clearly British language structure) get in the way of my really liking her or any pairing she's in.

Five/Tegan/Turlough would be win! Especially after a major upheaval, like the end of Warriors of the Deep, maybe. Or in general. The amount of snark, alone...

Tegan and Turlough might even get together with the explicit purpose of driving poor Five nuts. They'd be great co-conspirators, if they could just stop bickering for half a moment.

Tegan and Nyssa would be beautiful, and heartbreaking. And sometimes shmoopy. Either way, I want some.

I've never really thought about Nyssa/Ann or Adric/Zoe before, but now that I've seen your drabbles, I'm thoroughly intrigued and want more.

...How could anyone write Five/Master as schmoopy, unless it was humor? The slightly unhinged is the hinge of their relationship and one of the things that makes it most interesting. Well, to me, anyway.

And that was a long way of me going 'word' at everything.
