Love & Science

Summary:

The Doctor claims he's not much into romance, but he's even got a 'type': the scientific (or at least intelligent), 'older' woman. In just about all his incarnations.

Notes:

There was once a (fairly light-hearted) article in Doctor Who Magazine about the Doctor having a type - the older, intelligent, preferably scientific/academic females - and ever since, I've noted that it was, really, absolutely right. This is a series of drabbles (mostly equally light-hearted) looking at some of those.

Chapter 1: Apple

Chapter Text

(Five/Todd, from Kinda)

***

Paradise was too green for him.

She tempted him with an apple and he made a joke. If all was fair in love and war, he was too good at strengthening his defences and making hasty retreats rather than pressing into battle.

It was saner, but every now and again, he wondered if he should use one of his hearts a little more. Freedom, so all-important to him, was a cruel mistress.

In the end, he closed the box, refused the apple and ran.

Panna had called him Idiot and he was wise enough to know that she was right.
