If you don't believe my "brilliant beyond belief" description then please read her Buffyverse/Doctor Who crossover fic (death) for my birthday. Dawn is the Tardis. Dawn slides under and then there are hands on her chest and water spilling up her throat and for a moment Dawn is as big as the room and spreading further outward, as far as she can reach. (I fear Lucy might think I haven't read it because I didn't comment but oh goodness, I have. Or rather I didn't read it, I made it part of my life because her prose slides under my skin as easily as Dawn submerges herself beneath the water.) If "I'm not familiar with fandom X" is worrying to you, don't let it put you off; I haven't seen any of the new Who series myself although I'm vaguely aware of the players. (Seven and Ace were my Doctor and companion, when I was in college and introduced to the series.)

They were the best pairing in the roles ever; unfortunately; as with Colin Baker's Doctor, they were undermined by a BBC wanting to kill the series off. Eventually they (never actually cancelled) just never made anymore; not even bothering to celebrate the 30th Anniversary.

We were watching the series in college and it was "live" (or as current as the US stations could get it) and then it just - ended. "Hiatus" we were told - we should have known that meant "cancelled". An ignominious ending to a 30 year tv landmark that deserved more respect from the BBC.
One of my friends at the time told me that Doctor Who was still pretty much considered a kids' show in the UK while here in the US it was cherished by college students and adults. (Especially the Tom Baker years.)
You're making me regret that we gave up Netflix btw because they had both the new and classic seasons on instant stream and I didn't take advantage of it.
