Rec [fic]: Starburn, by Eggling

Title: Starburn
Creator: <Eggling
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1,265 words I've no idea why, but AO3 doesn't show a word count for it. Probably somewhere in the range of 1,000 words, though.
Creator's Summary: “Tonight was meant to be special."

“I’m on another planet, watchin’ two stars crash into each other, with the time-travelling alien I’m a wee bit in love with. I dinnae see how that’s not special.”

The Doctor and Jamie watch a cosmic event - from inside a prison cell.
Characters/Pairings: Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: Another for the romance theme and my beloved Two/Jamie pairing. This is a recent, quite adorable little fic where they're actually trying to be on a date, but of course things haven't gone as planned, because this is the Doctor we're talking about. Also the Doctor's ideas of a date are a bit more grandiose than your average "restaurant and candlelight" scenario. As they would be. I have a special soft spot for stories that combine the inevitable chaos and frolic and humour of life around the Doctor with some sweet romantic fluff, and this definitely fits the bill.

btw, the word count shows for me, and it's 1265 words!

Ah, thanks! I'll fix it. Now it shows for me as well, but earlier I couldn't get it to show, though all other word counts showed up just fine. *pokes at the archive* Ah, well, who knows what causes these things.

I don't know if it's just my browser somehow, but it looks like you've crossed out not only the "no word count" note but also the entire rest of the entry.

[thisbluespirit]

It's not just your browser, I presume the end s coding is not where it ought to be! (sorry!)

[auroracloud]

It was there, but with a typo! Fixed now. You'd think at some point I'd learn to always preview or check after posting.

[auroracloud]

Oh dear, of course I did that. *glares at self* Should be fixed now, thanks for notifying me!
