Who OTP (original) (raw)

I wrote my first Who fanfic in 1981, when I was young and innocent and had never heard of shipping. Big Finish audios have let this aging author rediscover childhood joys in a rather different way. Five/Nyssa has become my go-to OTP since Pete and Sarah started s

hipping them

recording new adventures with them fifteen years ago.

For your enjoyment:

Before and After
Five/Nyssa with cameos by some other classic Who at the beginning and end (and an affectionate nod to the First Couple of Doctor Who, Barbara and Ian).
Word count: 4500
Rating: M
The Doctor returns his companions from the Death Zone following The Five Companions (which you don't have to have heard). The Doctor's reunion with Nyssa gives them an opportunity to say goodbye (im)properly.

This Bird Had Flown
Five/Nyssa
Word Count: 6666 (no I did not do that on purpose)
Rating: M for the ending
A series of character study vignettes following this TARDIS team's dynamic as it evolved over the years. Kindred spirits, scientists, do-gooders, space tourists: they've survived everything under alien suns together, and they clearly love one another, so... JUST KISS HER ALREADY.

Echoes
Five/Nyssa
Word Count: 2700
Rating: Explicit
Oh, I beg your pardon, you were here for the SMUT. Here. Served up with candlelight and zero G. Sensuous, sexy, and oddly adorkable because, let's face it, Nyssa and Five were pretty much the shiest, most polite and nerdy couple ever to grace the good ship TARDIS.

Pool Therapy
Five/Nyssa
Word Count: 2700
Rating: M
Hurt/Comfort while Nyssa's recovering from being taken over by Dalek brainwashing in _The Elite._Swimming pool sex.

See my TrakenTourist pseud on AO3 for all fic with Five/Nyssa in a sexual relationship (or the leadup to one), Circular Time for genfic that keeps things Platonic between them (although the Hierophant story has gallons of UST), or Lab Notes for Nyssa/Tegan.
