Prompt of the Month #6: March 2011

[thisbluespirit]

The result of the poll was overwhelmingly in favour of not having winners (and also ticky boxes were popular, so feel free to include a ticky box in your entries...), so, the usual rules apply, and here goes:

I thought it best to have a Brigadier-related prompt rather than the usual random one; hope nobody minds this once (and it was certainly an idea I'd have put on here anyway).

Prompt of the Month

From lost_spook: The Brigadier in other eras, or other eras with the Brigadier.

When I went looking for Brigadier fic recs the other day, I wanted one for each Doctor/era if possible. (One, of course, might be an exception, but all the rest would be around, yes?) But I found nothing very accessible (in my hasty search - I'm sure I missed things!) for Two, Five, Six or Eight. This is terrible. Please amend at once! I can't at the moment, so I offer this up here hopefully.

As usual, please interpret as loosely as you wish, (but I will be especially happy to see any of the 'missing' Doctors or their companions). Brief encounter, or multi-era madness, all is good.

Rules of the challenge
Fics can be as short or as long as you like. Please post wherever you wish but link back to this post via the comnents (if short enough, comment!fic is fine). The resulting fics/links will be collected together in a post once the challenge closes on Sunday 27th March 2011.

I will post a reminder before then.

There will be banners or icons for anyone taking part. (I'm sure I can make them appropriately Brig-themed.)

(Obviously, the normal business of the comm will continue and all prompts are open for adoption.)

Here goes, then (and no prizes for guessing which Doctor I used): The Art of Negotiation.

Oh, and I thought of this drabble just after posting the fic; it's probably closer to the spirit of the prompt.

"Well, that's all done and dusted," the Doctor said. "Now, we need to go before Commander Radnor starts asking us awkward questions."

"You three go," the Brigadier said. "I shan't be coming with you."

"What?" Zoë gave him an astonished look. "You've only just started travelling with us!"

"Aye," Jamie added. "All you've seen is Krotons and Ice Warriors. There's so much more out there."

"What's happened?" the Doctor asked.

The Brigadier cleared his throat. "Earlier today, Doctor, I asked Miss Kelly for the honour of her hand in marriage. And I am pleased to say that she accepted me."
