I seem to always write “there isn’t enough fic” in the author’s notes when I post EDA fic. I’m going to stop doing that, because it’s getting tedious, but I want it to be said:
There is too little EDA fic. There are so many underappreciated pairings. There are so many missing scenes that should be written. There are so many unexplored possibilities.
And now I’m going to go and finish some EDA fic.
‘Is this the Fitz you lost earlier?’ ‘I wouldn’t say lost - more mislaid.’ And with that, the Doctor bounded over and gave Fitz a huge, rib-cracking hug, lifting him clear off the ground. For a moment, Fitz wondered if the Doctor was going to kiss him.
Wheeee there are graphics!
Companions of the Eighth Doctor (TV and Audio)
I am a little sad by the lack of Anji, but Fitz’s facial expression is so right, for those times when he gets quite insistent about things. Also, Charley! And Mary Shelley, lovely Mary Shelley…

I love this bit for several reasons. One - this constant reminder of how good-looking Eight is. Guess what, he’s still gorgeous, dear reader! In case it slipped your mind. Two - Fitz’s anachronistic clothes. If one didn’t sit down to think about it, I think you wouldn’t necessarily think that someone dressing like in the 1960s would look out of place in the 190s (because there are worse things - like dressing like Oscar Wilde in, well, any time at all, including the 1880s/90s), but I think it would be noticed. Three - Uppsala. Being Swedish originally, I think it’s hilarious with an EDA set in Sweden, and the way Uppsala is constantly dropped in as if it’s the only university in this part of Sweden. It’s the big, old one, but, well, not the only one.
I just finished reading Revolution Man, which I really enjoyed (in the way you enjoy things where all your favourite characters are made to do horrible things), but now I need fic. Specifically, reconciliation fic. Any recs?

Well, you usually fix the problem of “too many memories”, don’t you, Eight?
i haven’t read a single novel that fitz is in and i already love him to bits
Perfectly natural! And you will love him even more when you’ve read him.
Agreed! But, to be fair, some canon repeats and contradicts itself, so sometimes it’s tricky to figure out how/if it works. ;P
Well, I’ve heard that what they tell new writers for the show is that “the only canon is that there is no canon”. Besides, it’s all wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey, so stuff might just change themselves over time. (I’ve spent so much time giving myself headaches over this that I needed to figure out a way of explaining it to myself…)

Summary The Doctor seeks Sabbath out to have a heart-to-heart.
Author’s notes This fic was written with dangerous amounts of Mozart in my system. Also, the foe yay in the EDAs deserve much much more fic.
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
