ext_23799: (six and peri)

I know I said I was going to rec Five, and I do have two more Five related fics just waiting in the wings, but then I remembered this and it is both wonderful and not at all well-known, so I had to recommend it. Back to your regular Five related programming next week.

Title: Sit
Pairing: Six/Ainley
Warnings: You may actually like Peri after reading this story.
Length 508w
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] stackcats
Author's summary: Another of the Master's plans to gain an army and defeat the Doctor falls apart before it even begins. Luckily, Peri is on hand to save the day with a rolled-up newspaper.
Why this must be read: SIX! is basically the answer to this question - the man's a legend and he has very little fic, and this is a fantastic Six voice and a truly hilarious scenario. Also in a very very few words, [livejournal.com profile] stackcats (previously [livejournal.com profile] smithy161) manages to give us a convincing Six and Ainley relationship, and a strong and interesting (in-character) Peri - who almost takes the role of the Rani in acknowledging their relationship and their mutual rubbishness. In 500 words.
Declaration of interest: this was written for me, and thank God it was :D

Excerpt: “Honestly,” the Doctor said, really getting into his stride now, “just when I think you’ve pulled off the single most irresponsibly stupid plan possible in this or any other universe, you manage to come up with something even stupider and a million times more irresponsible. Did you take lessons in incompetence at the Academy? Was that one of the lectures I always managed to sleep through? Or were you just born with this supreme talent for causing chaos in precisely the sort of way that you didn’t plan? Either way, Master, consider me thoroughly impressed.”
