Why this must be read:

I don't actually like femslash much these days, which just attests to how awesome this fic is. I also don't know much about old!Who beyond my intense readings of TARDIS wiki (which, granted, were intense), so it also attests to how awesome this fic is that I was able to love it so much without ever actually seeing Romana on screen.

So, yes, this fic is awesome, full of time irregularities and beautiful prose. It's for everyone of every ship -- because, really, it's wacky ships like this that get me and make me love a fandom, not what a fandom can do with the more canon ships.

"So why're you here, anyway?" Martha asked, "If you hate parties so much?"

"It seemed like a good idea."

"Aliens gatecrash parties?"

"I," said Romana with dignity, "was invited."

Martha squinted at her. That second bottle was beginning to feel like a mistake.

"Really," Romana added. "The host is an old friend of mine. Well, I say 'friend', more of an acquaintance, the distant sort that you don't normally acknowledge, but I came back and everything was gone, and he spotted my signal and ... well. Here I am. Stealing his wine and monopolising his guests."

"Please," said Martha, "monopolise away."

Romana's mouth curled around the edge of her glass. It was a very pretty mouth, and she had very pretty hands, and it wasn't that Martha was a two-drink bisexual; sex was just less embarrassing all around when ... well, she blamed her first boyfriend, and it was as simple as that, and she actually didn't mean to be speaking out loud--

Romana kissed her.

"Right," said Martha. "That's me shutting up." She only had to lean forward a little to meet Romana's lips again.
