rec [fic]: Pollination by Lissy Strata

[justmcshane]

Another fill for rec bingo (my card) - this time for the column two, row two prompt 'aliens made us do it'.

Title: Pollination

Creator: Lissy Strata

Rating: All ages

Word Count/Length/Size: 1375 words

Creator's Summary: While touring an alien garden, Peri runs headlong into a cliché. 

Characters/Pairings: Peri Brown, Sixth Doctor

Warnings/Notes: None whatsoever.

Reasons for reccing: Who doesn't love a good bit of trope subversion? Saying anything else about the actual content of the fic would spoil it, I think; so let's steer away from that for now, and talk about characterization. (Yes, I know - I'm always on about characterization whenever I rec something, but that's because it's very important to me.) And Lissy Strata has written Six and Peri wonderfully here. Their voices ring out perfectly from the page, and I could almost imagine Colin and Nicola delivering these lines. And if that isn't a reason to read this great little fic, what is?

Plus, the twist is really funny.
