I thought I'd give a quick shout out to our favorite Edwardian Adventuress' 100th birthday before the day is over. Happy Birthday, Charley! ;-)

I have created a Doctor/Charley community.

Hey all. I'm looking for a beta/Britpicker for a Charley-centric story I finished a few months ago but have been hemming and hawing over and therefore haven't posted anywhere. Anyone interested?

It's a sequel to my AU story, A Greater Compliment, if that helps. :-)

For an art trade at 500year_diary for bekkypk. Inspired by this song: Ben Drake - Where did you go? (ht tp://w ww.jamendo.com/en/track/675779) which is very pretty. I heard it and all I could think of was Eight and Charley playing with stars.



At my journal.

Sketch of Eight and Charley swing dancing. Because they would and should.



Kick up your heals

...because the world needs more Charley icons. A lot of these are old ones, but some are new. And I thought I'd post them here as I've never posted them here.



44 other icons and 1 banner are here @ too_fiercely.

Lets talk about Solitaire!

Have you heard it?

What did you think?

Would you like more Charley companion chronicles?

What did you think of the different format?


I love this story. It is one of the best companion chronicles EVER! I love how the format is different from all of the other CCs. And David Bailie is fantastic as the Toymaker.

Title: A Greater Compliment
Author: Azar
E-mail: atlanteanazar@gmail.com
Rating: PG
Spoilers: episodes--"Rose", "The Unquiet Dead" and "Aliens of London"/"World War Three" (sortof); audios--Charley's entire arc, including "Blue Forgotten Planet"
Pairing: implied Eight/Charley, Nine/Charley if you *really* squint
Acknowledgments: My fantastic beta readers, hanelissar and biichan, my cheerleader always, debc, and my wonderfully enthusiastic artist, caersmane. I couldn't have done it without you! :-)
Author's Note: This story is not now and never was intended as a slam on Rose. I'd actually meant for Rose - and Jackie and Mickey - to have a larger role than the cameo I wound up with, but discovered that if I was going to take the Doctor and the TARDIS away from her, I couldn't rub it in by keeping her on the periphery of the action. :-( What I wanted to explore was simply how Charley would've done things differently. I wanted to see how the Doctor would have reacted differently to having along someone with whom he already shared a complicated and not always pleasant history, and what the consequences of those changes would be. That said, if there are Rose fans out there who don't want to read it without her, I won't hold it against them. I have a hard time reading stories that write Martha out of season three, too. :-\
Summary: An older, wiser Charley Pollard finds herself reunited with the Doctor while on undercover assignment for UNIT, but this isn't the Doctor she knew, and it'll take more than their shared history to make him trust her this time.

A Greater Compliment

Pairing: Eight/Charley
Rating: Teen
Spoilers: for Charley's entire Big Finish run
Beta: cytherea999 
Summary: Singapore, 1941. A most unusual patient turns up at a British military hospital, with no memory of how he got there. Two planets, two wars, and countless timelines converge on one tiny pocket of reality where two lovers struggle to find their past, knowing they have no future.

Chapter 21: Motion

A calm had overtaken her in the absence of flesh and adrenaline – the calm and peace of one who is completed. Her outstretched hand breezed against his forehead and he could barely make out her voice as she called out his name, nodding in understanding, acceptance.
