Grounds for Annulment by Sub Rosa (PG)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: None
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Author profile on A Teaspoon and a Open Mind
Why this must be read:
As Doctor-Companion relationships go the Sixth Doctor and Peri didn't get off to the best of starts, what with him trying to strangle her and all, but they quickly settled down into a sort of odd couple relationship. Sub Rosa gets under the skin of both characters and shows us that underneath all the bickering they really are the best of friends.
Also, it's incredibly funny and makes smashing use of one of the oldest cliches in fandom.
Peri giggled. “Sooo, are we really married now?” she asked sweetly.
A peel sailed through the air and landed on her head with a “Thwap”.
“What do you think?” the Doctor asked. His tone indicated that he was not amused.
Peri guessed he was only mildly annoyed by her impertinent question. She wiped fruit residue off her forehead.
“I figure since we were coerced into pledging ourselves to one another in the sight of a god neither of us believe in I would say no, we’re not.”
That earned her a smile. “If you had it all figured out, why’d you ask?”
Peri grinned. “I thought it might make you feel better to yell at me. Besides I was gonna divorce you and take half the TARDIS.”
The Doctor made a huffing sound. “I think not. My TARDIS is not ‘property in common’.”
