Title: Love's Cocoa
Author: The Secretive Bus
Rating: G

Brief summary: The First Doctor did accidentally get engaged to Cameca in The Aztecs, and he did leave without her, so it qualifies as a break-up. Here you have the aftermath of the Doctor's departure, a touching piece from Cameca's viewpoint.

Claim: Doctor Who, general series
Prompt: 42 - Holiday
Title: Valentine Roses
Author: Casira
Rating: PG
Length: medium
Brief summary: I usually don't like sweet, sappy stories. I especially usually don't like sweet, sappy Tenth Doctor/Rose stories. So why do I like this one? Because of the great characterization of Rose, who is sympathetic instead of whiny, and because her feelings make sense and there's an alien planet and terrific dialogue. As for the holiday, Rose has missed Valentine's Day but it turns out to be all right.
