Fic: Huntress

Fic: Huntress

Well, since RTD's decided to render my Romana-in-the-Time War fic obsolete, I thought I'd go for some Romana-in-E-Space instead. After a fashion. I've been wanting to write this for a while and it takes a lot of inspiration from my good buddy Clocketpatch, who has written some great Romana-in-E-Space fic that suggests that, in keeping with the very uncompromising tone of Warrior's Gate, it might not have been all good times and awesomeness as we Romana fans might like to imagine. E-Space is, of course, green and not black. I hope the assumptions of the POV character don't repel you to the point where you can't read this - he's supposed to be an unpleasant piece of work. Lots of references to Warriors' Gate, and the Antonine Killers and their blockade come from the Target novelisation of same by John Lydecker (a pseudonym for Stephen Gallagher), although I've kind of added my own spin on it all. As ever, Doctor Who and its characters and copyrights definitely do not belong to me.

I don't really ship Doctor/River, although the head writer and showrunner apparently does, so it looks like we'll be getting it whether we want it or not... I just think that if the Doctor was looking for a human to shack up with, she's plausibly his "type", whatever that means... ;D

Regarding Time Lords/Humans my fanon is that back in the old days, when Rassilon was young and the Time Lords didn't have their laws banning interference with the "lesser" species, they did an awful lot of pretending to be gods on various planets, maybe Earth too... And like real oldschool gods like the gods of Olympus or Asgard or wherever, getting up close and personal with humans was part of that...

Except the Time Lords don't talk about any of that any more. They'd like to pretend it never happened...

I have new fanon on the Master and Time Lord sexual mores after watching EoT; In Part 1 he mentions his father's estates - now how do we reconcile that with our my beloved LOOMS? Well, I'm thinking that the Master's father was some sort of high-ranking Time Lord - a Councillor, perhaps, or one of the leading academicians at the Academy - and he...well, had what the Time Lords would consider to be a moral lapse and got some Time Lady/one of his students/one of the Shobogan servants pregnant... Which is not only scandalous but kind of icky according to the mores of Time Lord society as I imagine it, where "our sort of people" use LOOMS to reproduce. So, the kid got sent off to virtual exile on some plot of land in Outer Gallifrey that his dad happened to own, well away from the Citadel where people might see him and rumble his dad's dirty secret... No wonder he grew up maladjusted...

And yes, I have no evidence for any of that whatsoever. ;D

And yes, just a mention of Romana would be nice...

Well, all telly canon indicates that Time Lords are not ''born'' as adults (I think Three was the first Doctor to mention his childhood), so there's no reason why you can't reconcile that with LOOMS. The estate could have been one of those ''hunting estates'' that the aristocracy tends to possess. Somewhere you went on holidays and things like that.
