Twenty-second drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge. I've been watching some early classic series stories lately, and the best thing to come out of 'The Underwater Menace' (apart from a serious giggle fit at the end of episode three) was this drabble :o)

Fic Name: Out Of The Water
Rating: G
Prompt: Relief (#060)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Polly

Having trouble with my internet again, so I may get later with my updates, though I'll try my best. I like this one, I think I did well.

Nineteenth drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge. Thought I'd better post this before winter runs away and spring pounces on me, bringing canonical Martha down to ~~Joss~~ Russell my drabble.

Fic Name: Darkest Before
Rating: G
Prompt: Sunrise (#032)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Martha Jones
Timeline: She has no canonical timeline as of yet, so I’d say anytime during series 3. Oh, and I’m going with a version of Martha that I find more interesting than just the generally assumed ‘21st century London medical student’ - blank slate companions are fun!
Spoilers: None

Three fics today! I've been waiting to hit a multiple-of-five 'milestone' that didn't coincide with a holiday, so I could post these. They go together, like a little story from three perspectives - also kinda sense-themed (see prompts). I know a few people who read these are fans of the characters, so I'm hoping they're well-received. Bear in mind that I've seen 100,000 BC but not The Daleks, so I have no idea what Skaro looks like in that particular story, nor what happens at the very beginning of it. I'm making it up to suit me :o)

Fic Name: Stubborn

Fifteenth fic for the

doctorwho_100 - I'm fair getting on with these. Had Ace last week, seemed only right to let Hex have his turn. Hope you like :o)

Fic Name: But When He Got There...
Rating: G
Prompt: Where? (#078)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Thomas Hector (Hex) Schofield
Timeline: After the Big Finish audio (from DWM #367) The Veiled Leopard, but makes sense without having heard it.

I kinda skipped last week because I posted two drabbles at Christmas and I was busy at New Years. (Reviews for my Christmas drabbles, please?) Plus, I didn't have anything suitably seasonal. Now that festivities are out of the way I can go ahead with an "it's cold"-themed drabble or two, because it really is quite chilly in Dundee this time of year. Just the one for now, the other one next week.

I'm at my tenth drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge already! I'm surprised at my own productivity (which, as expected, has slowed now that my exams are over). I did forget that it was Sunday two days ago, however - wasn't able to watch Torchwood so I deliberately distracted myself from it and forgot what else I usually do on Sundays :o)
Anyway, I was going to post a Frobisher one, but

bibliophile1887 posted one on Sunday that made me change my mind and choose this one instead.

Fic Name: A New Man
Rating: G
Prompt: Body (#029)
Claim: Companions
Companion: Mel Bush
Timeline: After Time and the Rani.

Ninth drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge.

I am now connected to the internet in my flat (*happy dance*) so ... well, nothing much'll change in regard to my fics, I guess - I've been managing to keep up a fairly regular updating schedule despite my lack of net, thanks to

sellars88 being so hospitable every week :o) Thanks Adam!

Anyway, enjoy the fic and let me know what you think. Also, Tegan and Romana have no comments and they're feeling left out (hint hint) :o)

Seventh drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge. Got this idea from my lecturer when he was telling us about desert plants. The actual plants flower for a few days, but I only have 100 words here, so let's say they're on an alien planet. Yeah, that works.

Fourth drabble for the

doctorwho_100 challenge. Since the last one was Sarah Jane Smith, I shall now let Harry Sullivan take centre stage. It was the memory of that bit in Robot of Harry holding the stethoscope to his own chest, just to check the number of heartbeats, that made me write this :o) Hope you enjoy.

My first drabble for the
