Posted for Ruby's Unofficial WIP Amnesty Week #2
Title: A Lyric Within (a working title; I never found a good one.)
Fandom: Doctor Who (Tenth Doctor)
Rating: As it is: PG . As it would have been: NC-17.
Pairing: Martha Jones / William Shakespeare
Notes: This was intended for [livejournal.com profile] choc_fic; the prompt really deserved better than me. I realized about when I was about to have Shakespeare look out his window that I was attempting to write dialogue for William Shakespeare. What in God's name was I thinking?!



[replace title with a Shakespeare quote about pleasant madness]

Intended for this year's [livejournal.com profile] choc_fic on Feb 29

Martha is a girl of the Twenty-First Century, and she's called on guys she fancied before. She'd rung them up, she'd sent them emails, she'd asked them out face to face. But she hadn't yet sat wobbling in a tree, knee bent around a flaky-barked branch, cautiously reaching to knock at a an inn window at the turn of the 17th Century. This is kind of new.

But then, didn't she come with the Doctor for new things? And because he was handsome, and brilliant. And dense. And infuriating. Not that he noticed that she thought any of these things, or anything else about her.

Shakespeare certainly noticed. [He appears at the window and smiles at her-- convey roguish charm of his smile.]



Doctor brings her by at night to say goodbye. Turns out to be months later, Shakes climbs out of window ("call me Will"), kisses her, says he wrote her a better sonnet and starts whisper-reciting lines of the sonnet over her body and by the time he kisses over her navel she can't resist anymore.

Afterwards she goes back to Doctor, who is insufferable yet kind, and ushers her into the TARDIS, commenting about the arrow in the door as the last line.





"I would not send you back to Freedonia with a son I'll never see."

Describe his broad shoulders under her hands.

Prompt: - Doctor Who, Martha/Shakespeare: Sex outdoors/outside - Daffodils,/That come before the swallow dares, and take/The winds of March with beauty.

(read Sonnets)

Starting point from my roommate: "you promised us a good flirt later".

From show:
The first time he sees her he says "hey nonny nonny" and calls her
'blackamoor lady'
'swav'
'queen of Afric'
'words are my trade'


"shall I compare thee to a summer's day"

(He comments that he's become unfond of liquorice, which he's been chewing each night in anticipation of her return.)

Sonnets 127-152 are addressed to a woman commonly known as the 'Dark Lady' because her hair is said to be black and her skin "dun".

Well, but the writers from the show are mere humans like us, and they made a lovely episode with him. I bet you could do better than they did. And your Martha would be awesome and would realize that the reason the Doctor's not attention to her is that he's dumb (not because of any problem with her).

Anyway, I shall enjoy the image of his (naked) broad shoulders under her hands. Thanks for posting your ideas. :D

I like the idea that the Doctor not paying attention to her is because he is dumb and
