tardis_libraryRecs bingo! Let's do this! Here is my card and this is the first top-left-corner fill for the prompt: Gallifrey. Because that's a good place to start.

Creator's Summary: From aralias' prompt: "Some sort of Gallifrey babyfic - yes, that's what's happening here." Set in a idyllic future of the canon, where both the K-9s are there and also Elbon is not a zombie.
Characters/Pairings: Various characters from the Big Finish Gallifrey chronicles
Warnings: none
Reasons for reccing: This is a really delightful story even if you have not listened to the Gallifrey audios. The Publisher's summary describes the Gallifrey chronicles as "Tales of intrigue and political manoeuvring from the seat of Time Lord power. Join Romana, Leela and K9 as they find enemies on all sides in a delicate game with the fate of Gallifrey hanging in the balance." Well in this story they trade that intrigue and manouevring for . . . a wee bit of drive-by babysitting. I think they definitely would prefer the politics!
This one is told in a breezy and fun round robin as the baby--dropped off by the Doctor as he could either mind her or save her planet but not both--changes hands among all the usual suspects.

"You will be a bold warrior," said Leela, looking deep into the baby's eyes. "I shall teach you to be strong."
The baby looked at Leela and drooled a bit.
"I shall teach you to see through illusions," said Leela. "In my tribe we played an ancient game with children, to prepare them for the hunt." She covered up her eyes with her hands. The baby made a small noise of confusion. "Peekaboo," said Leela, solemnly, uncovering her eyes again.
The baby squeaked in surprise, and laughed.
"No," said Leela. "Do you not see? Nothing has changed - I was still here even when you could not see my eyes. We shall try again."
