hello Aurelia lurking-latinist pointed me your way and said you're a Five/Tegan shipper? do you have any fics or fic recs with them, I've hardly found anything lol. seems like this is a verrrryyy niche pairing, at least on Tumblr 😅
@swinging-stars-from-satellites hi, and thanks! Yes, I am a Five/Tegan shipper! <3 I don't think I've ever written it much (well, one or two a long time ago, on Teaspoon), but I do have a couple, although they're mostly kind of gen (I love them too hard to write them, it's a thing):
Subdivide & Multiply (which is also a Five/Tegan/Nyssa/Turlough sedoretu, kind of)
But, as you say, it went really niche for a long while - although, excitingly, there seem to be a few new shippers popping up these last few months, so yay. Maybe we're getting a revival? \o/ (It's funny - at one time it was one of the most popular classic Who het pairings for quite a while and then it just... vanished.)
I do have some recs, though! I once made a Five/Tegan manifesto for a fic-reccing comm, and that includes a bunch of great stories + some links to other sources, so you might want to start there.
Plus, I think some that didn't quite make it on the list/have been posted since that I've liked:
Blue by Singe-Addams (G, 1708 words - Five/Tegan, hurt/comfort, humour)
Parfait Gentil Knight by JohnAmendAll (G, 484 words - Five/Tegan; rescues, humour)
(although tbh I have not been keeping up with my bookmarking lately and there have been some recent ones, as I said. amazing.)
Plus, check out LilacFree's stories on Teaspoon - they wrote loads of really lovely and long Five/Tegan back in the day & are still the best writer for them I've yet come across. (Their other fic is excellent, too - they wrote my fave Two, Jamie & Zoe fic as well!)
