tardis_libraryTitle: Fab Gear
Creator: whatthefoucault
Rating: All Ages / General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 619 words
Creator's Summary: Polly and Ben help Jamie adjust to modern life, starting with a new turtleneck.
Characters/Pairings: Jamie McCrimmon, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Second Doctor; mostly gen but with a smidgen of Two/Jamie
Notes:This is set fairly early on in Jamie's TARDIS adventure times, set after The Underwater Menace and before The Moonbase. (Author's Note)
Reasons for reccing: I'm a sucker for "Jamie meets modernity" fics, and it's fun to imagine and read how Polly and Ben may have tried to introduce him to new times and new fashions. And obviously how he got that haircut! This is an adorable little ficlet about just that, capturing everyone's voices perfectly, not to mention Jamie's confusion over modern vocabulary. Fun, sweet and perfect. A tiny bit of Two/Jamie pre-slash, but I'm sure non-shippers will enjoy it as well.

“Oh aye, it’s very nice,” replied Jamie with a nod, still bewildered by all that had happened to him. “What do you think?”
“I think you look smashing,” she said with a satisfied grin. “Doesn’t he, Ben?”
“Oh yeah,” Ben agreed, “brilliant, mate! Them turtlenecks, you know, they’re really with it.”
“With what?” asked Jamie.
