i. The Effect of Dimensional Transcendence on Mozzarella Cheese, or: Diane Duane writes fic about Five and Nyssa making pizza. (Complete with recipe at the end.) My heart. I am not-so-secretly shattered that DD hasn't written roughly a million Fifth Doctor novels. On the other hand, she has written a handful of Star Trek novels ...? And, like, novels about Spock. I may be kind of doomed.
ii. Also, because I am obviously feeling talky tonight: Name any character in any fandom that you think I would be passingly familiar with. In return, I will give you five pieces of my headcanon or a ficlet, my choice. (Or everyone can just reply 'Methos' because I will never, ever run out of headcanon.) Have at it!

1. She is, while not singlehandedly, still quite heavily responsible for shaping the Doctor into what he is now. She's committed enough to social justice and doing the right thing that she managed to talk the Doctor around to her way of thinking, which is pretty damn impressive.
2. She really, really loved traveling in the TARDIS. There was a short while when she was concerned that actually living history was going to be awful, but it turned out that academic fascination did come with a healthy sense of adventure attached.
3. She actually wasn't too fond of Ian before they were unceremoniously kidnapped by the Doctor. She was polite to him, of course, and thought he was a decent fellow, but all told he seemed rather too boring to be anything more than a colleague.
4. She is, therefore, quite surprised to find herself married to Ian only a few months after they finally return to the Earth of their own time.
5. She doesn't miss traveling with the Doctor, and she doesn't miss the two years they skipped on the journey home, either. She's learned how to make the best of wherever she is, and to her mild surprise, she's very happy.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I ship Ian/Barbara something fierce. Just not right away, because Ian is a dweeb and at the beginning Barbara is much too good for him.
