rec: man-whores and wealthy women

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Story: Man-Whores and Wealthy Women
Author: HonorH
Rating: All Ages (there's talk about sex but no onscreen action)
Author's summary: The Doctor and Jack have gotten themselves in a sticky situation and are about to be auctioned off as concubines on the planet Trioditis. What will Rose have to do in order to free her men?
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor, Rose, Jack
Warnings: None

Recced because:
I love TARDIS teams with more than one companion. Partly this is because I have a huge weakness for comedic stories where all but one of the crew haplessly land themselves in hot water, whereupon the one who's been smart enough not to get him or herself dragged off to the nearest dungeon rolls their eyes and sets out to rescue their comrades. I especially love it when the Doctor's one of the ones being rescued, so this story hits an awful lot of my buttons by having Rose hatch a brilliant plan to spring the Doctor and Jack from a concubine auction by posing as a spoiled socialite (complete with a little alien dog). The dialogue for all three is spot-on, and the Doctor and Jack's attempts at sexual one-upmanship are hilarious.

Oh thank you so much for recommending something that didn't reduce me to tears... This was laugh out loud funny and there's no way I'd have read it without the rec. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the rec! That one was, almost needless to say, *loads* of fun to write. Especially Precious the narvel.
