Universal Constant, by nix nada

Story: Universal Constant
Author: nix nada
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1138
Author's Summary: It's classic Doctor Who, with a twist. Only, the twist is at the beginning, not the end. Or is it?
Characters/Pairings: The Doctor, Susan, the TARDIS
Warnings: none

Recced because: It's elegant, ominous, and manages to engage our sympathies on behalf of our favorite over-sized blue box in the space of just eleven hundred words. A different take on two subjects that have been fandom favorites forever: the beginning, and the end.

This is AU with new Who, but it's satisfying and self-contained on its own. (Very self-contained.)

As they made to leave, Izet handed a small datacard to one of the technicians. “Have this man’s TARDIS moved to these coordinates.”

The technician glanced down at the card. “But sir,” he began.

“Just do it,” Izet said firmly.

The technician swallowed. “Yes sir.”

I remember this one! This was one of the very best "how he got the TARDIS" sort of concepts I've ever come across - after all, why else would she be so easy to escape in? She was already his. Love it.
