#not that explaining astrophysics is a large part of this fic bc it's not

[galacticlamps]

After a whirlwind series of adventures, the Doctor gives the Tardis a tune-up while Ben, Polly, and Jamie finally get some sleep. But the edge of the galaxy where the ship has materialized has more to offer than just an isolated workspace for repairs - it also provides an excellent view of the stars, and an opportunity for the Doctor to show his newest companion a side of the universe he hasn't had a chance to see before.

((A bit of early days pre-relationship Two/Jamie fluff, set during Jamie’s first night aboard the Tardis after the Highlanders/Underwater Menace/Moonbase/Macra Terror string of adventures))

#jamie mccrimmon #second doctor #two/jamie #the 60s series: never visually establishes the link between the inside of the console room/big white doors & the wooden blue ones #me: *sets an entire fic in that space* it's fine #i am utterly failing at the 'write fic about jamie without bringing up katarina challenge' tho which is weird bc that shouldn't be hard #but here we are anyway #also if the science in this sounds ridiculously basic it's not bc i think the dr thinks jamie's dumb #it is because i myself am dumb and never properly learned anything about space beyond like elementary school #so in an effort to not get things wrong everything said here had to be very rudimentary my apologies #not that explaining astrophysics is a large part of this fic bc it's not #im just self conscious enough about my own lack of physics education to warrant a disclaimer #i should have a consistent tag for my fics
