dollsome | the yay for friendship! comment ficathon

copperiisulfate and I were talking yesterday about how ~sexy times~ tend to get more attention than friendship on TV and in fandom, and what a shame that can be. (Although a pretty delightful and understandable shame.) So I was thinking that maybe it would be fun to celebrate good old-fashioned friend time in a comment ficathon. Which will either be super jolly, or super super lame. I can't quite decide. But I figure it's worth a shot! And really, it's always just fun to have an excuse to make up prompts.

Ergo ...

RULES, or whatever

1. Despite the general concept, I think the pairings this can apply to are pretty widespread. Friendship is an important component of romantic love, after all! I guess the bottom line is to focus the fic more on buddydom than makeouts & such? (Basically: this is your spinster aunt's comment ficathon. I'm

dollsome, I'm worse than everybody's aunt.)

2. Prompts should basically have a 'Fandom -- pairing or characters -- prompt' format.

3. If you reply to a prompt, please put the fandom, pairing/characters, and title in your comment's subject line!

4. Be nice; have fun! :D

5. If you'd like to spread the word--

“This is ridiculous.”

“It is not ridiculous.”

“It’s ridiculous, spaceman. Look, you’re dripping all down my trousers now, look!”

“You said you wanted to do me a favour, Donna!”

“Favour, yes. Buy you a drink at the 'Star Wars Cantina', yes – ”

“ - I keep telling you that’s not real!”

“ – Go paintballing with you, yes; even get you Audrey flippin’ Hepburn’s phonenumber – ”

“She did have a thing for me, didn’t she?”

“Yeah, yeah she did – but not this!”

A brief pause. If she’s not mistaken, it’s definitely the sign of a sulk brewing on the Time Lord horizon. “’S alright for you.”

“I know.” She might be being just a little bit smug. Still, he deserves it.

“You have nice hair.”

Cue a flick of said hair. “Oh, I know.”

“Van Gough had that hair. Garfunkel had that hair. Good old Anne of GG had that hair. And I have – ”

“The hair of an idiot?”

Alright, so that’s a little unfair. A little.

He’s pouting as well. The big ol’ spaceman, Mister ooh-look-at-me-I’ve-got-an-overdressed-screwdriver – is pouting. “Come on Donna, it’s what friends do for each other!”

That’s true. Kind of true, anyway. Sort of true. And she’s done some pretty mad stuff – seen her boyfriend leave her for a giant spider lady, saved the world from little potato people, waved at little blobs of sentient fat – but she’d never expected to be sitting in a public bathroom in 2950, downtown California, helping a Time Lord who quite on a whim has decided to dye his hair.

It lasts for roughly two weeks, stains every surface it comes into contact with, spectacularly ruins his favourite shirt – ‘Cary Grant gave me that shirt!’ – when it runs during a sudden downpour, and her hands are bright red for a month.

Totally worth it though. She keeps the photos safe.
