calufraxStory: Moving Day
Author: eve11
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 738
Author's Summary: "As it happens, my exile has been rescinded."
Characters/Pairings: Liz Shaw, The Doctor (3rd)
Warnings: Drabble, Missing Scene, Vignette
Recced because: I love the Third Doctor. As a toddler, he was one of my clearest memories. Dashing, mysterious, handsome, slightly prickly and debonair. His Doctor always had that disapproving set to his mouth, but his eyes twinkled like he knew a good joke and his sharp tongue covered a big heart (and a lot of sorrow). He was my first 'James Bond' and the best one ever as far as I am concerned.
It's really hard to capture that. It is easier to remember the acerbic tongue and sharp wit that was often used to lash out - and really hard to remember that sometimes, that's the sound of someone who needs a friend. The Doctor of this era had a lot of friends, but not many of them were able to stand up to him. Not many of them had an intelligence to rival his. Liz was one of those people. Sadly, she moved on - for a variety of reasons, though it was more than heavily hinted that her 'bitter rivalry' with the Doctor for head of the science division was one of them. It was all to easy to remember that - and forget that Liz left behind all that she knew, as well as a potential friendship with the Doctor. She moved on and did bigger and better things. But sometimes, it doesn't hurt to have old friends drop by for a visit. And sometimes old hurts can be forgotten and new friendships forged upon the fire of fond absence.
Once she caught sight of it, the presence of the tall, white-haired gentleman beside it was admittedly less surprising.
"Doctor!" Liz said, stopping up and straightening. Her back twinged with the memory of moving books. "What brings you to Cambridge? How ever did you get your TARDIS past the lane closures?"
"A single answer suffices." He was dressed as always in frill and velvet, but the stiffness she'd often seen set upon his frame was gone. He was lounging casually against the TARDIS, smiling like a schoolboy, and stood up to give the weathered wood a loving pat. "As it happens, my exile has been rescinded."
Ahh, yes - MARVELOUS. And a perfect way to ease the sting of Liz's departure. This was another goodie, folks - please stop by and tell the author how they made you smile. It will likely make THEM smile (and then...they'll MAKE MORE. *Nods*)

There are a couple of authors I badly want to harrass into posting there, lol! Just so others can discover how amazing they are!
*SQUISHES*
I had coded it wrong, like a big dummy. Took me a second of headscratching to figure it out. *Facepalm*
