481) Sapphire by Rosemary Rogers
the First Doctor will never be satisfied until he claims what is rightfully his! But in confronting the aristocratic family who disowned him before he was even born, One finds that his father is dead and that his title has passed to an American, Dodo Chaplet.
Dodo believes that One is nothing more than a fortune hunter. Kidnapping him, she presents him with a choice - become her lover or her footman! But One will not compromise his quest, even for the woman he has come to desire...

(Dodo’s got herself another accent! And it serves the First Doctor right for someone to kidnap HIM for a change.)

576) Road Trip with the Best Man by Sophie Pembroke

With her dream wedding in tatters, Romanadvoratrelundar resolves to track down her errant groom the First Doctor and demand answers.

79) WHAT'S COOKING? by SHERRYL WOODS
Recipe for red-hot romance
Take one part Peri Brown, the striking and independent food critic who’s had her fill of casual men…
Add one part gorgeous photographer on a mission for seduction. the Second Doctor’s playboy reputation wasn’t good, but his desire went for beyond a passing fancy…
Mix in meddling sisters who believe Two is just the man to spice up Peri’s life.
Peri’s afraid this recipe will make a mess of her orderly life. But Two thinks that the risk of getting burned leads to the sweetest payoff of all true love!

(I think we saw different versions of The Two Doctors, generator.)



Also it’s on a Brig/Sara Kingdom kick today, which seems unlikely to get very far, given that he looks exactly like her late brother.

Sorry about the formatting hideousness; I’m on mobile. (ETA: fixed!)

For the formatting, regardless of what you're on, if you post into the html version, it should come out regular-for-your-journal font (and no actual html-ing is needed - Dreamwidth recognises the line breaks etc.)

And, lol, of all the companions, you can believe Dodo might be random enough to kidnap One right back. And, of course, while sporting yet another different accent!

Oh, thank you! Mark down today as the day I learned what the 'Disable Auto-Formatting' checkbox does (heaven knows why I had it checked).

... or that, yes. I'm sure that is a thing for people who use the RTF editor!

(I'm sorry, LJ used to be SO breaky with the RTF editor when I started using it that after it ate multiple cuts, and did even more inexplicable things with other posts, I just switched to the html editor. I already knew how to do italics and bold, because I needed that for forums and Teaspoon, and that's the only thing you need for it on a regular basis. Anything else, you just google "html for..." and the internet is great at answering that kind of thing. I completely forget some days that the RTF editor is a thing and other people inexplicably use it! Even more so that people don't use the html editor on AO3. And yet most people don't! Amazing. XD)

I generally flip back and forth! But apparently my HTML editor had a setting causing it to ignore line breaks (at least I deduce that seems to be what 'Disable Auto-Formatting' does). I had to either add line breaks in RTF or type out a /br tag. Now that I have turned that setting off the HTML editor is much easier to use!

Excellent icon choice, btw. XD

Ah, I see!!

The Brig / Sara thing is weird. Yeah I really can’t see that happening in any universe.

As for the others, that feels like an AU of Two Doctors. Maybe with less Androgums .
Love the Romana one.

As an AU of The Two Doctors it would be disturbing in entirely different ways!
