Title: Unpleasant Business
Author/Artist:
laurus_nobilis
Rating: G
Warnings: Very vague references to recent HOLiC/TRC chapters, but nothing that could be considered a spoiler, I think.
Word count: 345
Prompt: Crossover: xxxHOLiC/Dr. Who, Yuuko + The Doctor: Old friends - "Oh yes, I remember Sarajevo."
Summary: Sometimes even the Doctor needs someone who listens to him.
"I hate fixed points in time," the Doctor announced as he stepped out of the TARDIS. He walked towards the veranda, hands in his pockets like a young boy in a bad mood, and sat there with his legs dangling towards the garden so that he wouldn't need to take off his trainers. Yuuko raised an eyebrow at him, looking up from her usual glass of beer.
"Aren't you even going to say hello?"
"Hello," he said. "Happy?"
"Not really. What did you do this time?" she sighed.
"Nothing. That's just it," he replied, still frowning. "I can't ever do anything about that stuff. That's the problem, you know…? Well, yes, of course you know. There's a reason I come to whine here."
"At least you admit you're whining," Yuuko told him with a small chuckle. For a moment, she considered asking him what was it this time, which one of the infinite fixed history-shaping moments that he couldn't change had upset him now. But there wasn't much of a point in that. It was always the same, no matter what the details were. "Beer?"
"Yeah, I definitely need one," he said, and took the can she offered. "I mean, you know how it is when you get into one of those. Hadn't happened in a while, though. And I didn't even get company. When was the last time we got stuck in a fixed point together? 1914?"
"Oh, yes, I remember Sarajevo," she mused. It hadn't been the last time in her own timeline, but that didn't really matter either. "Nasty business, that."
"It's always nasty," the Doctor muttered. "I hate fixed points. Really, really hate them."
"Looks like someone needs a distraction…" Yuuko said. She eyed him thoughtfully for a moment, then showed him a knowing smile. "How about helping me turn a distortion in time and space into something that doesn't ruin the balance of the universe?"
"Now, that," said the Doctor, and he was grinning as if he'd already forgotten why he was there in the first place, "that is interesting."
