Creator: JJPOR
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 973 words
Creator's Summary: Love triangles can be a terrible thing, especially when one of the corners is a tin dog.
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor/Romana I
Warnings/Notes: none
Reasons for reccing:
There are surprisingly few actual straight-up Fourth Doctor/Romana I fics. I'm not entirely surprised--I used to headcanon that they didn't get together until between Destiny of the Daleks and City of Death--but, well, *gestures at icon*. But my goal is to rec fics for as many different versions of this pairing as possible, so I wanted to start here.
This fic hits a lot of the notes I love: it's funny, it's sweet, it's restful in the way this pairing can only be when Romana doesn't have the weight of a world on her shoulders yet, it's got K9 in it, there's that hilarious quasi-culture-clash between a Time Lord who's crazy about Earth and a Time Lady who thinks he must be crazy full stop. They're both shy about their feelings in their very different ways but they end up managing to communicate. Partially via poetry.
