Stump-me drabble for catyuy

Jun 04, 2009 19:28

From the Stump-the-Author meme here. Go stump me and win a drabble, everyone else is!

Last one for this evening...I've only got three left! Trying to average two a day, hope I'm doing an all right job. :)

Title: A Comedy of Doctors
Length: 100 words
Rating: All ages
Prompt: catyuy cheated a bit ;) , and submitted three different quotes, one of which I got. So because I am so very nice, I gave her two prompts. Thus far, this is the only one I've finished: "TenI/Rose/TenII: reunion with William Shakespeare and his thoughts on the three."

(BTW, if you've never listened to Tennant's audio of A Comedy of Errors, it's quite enjoyable and, I'll admit, my inspiration for this drabble. Go find it!)



“William Shakespeare! Feels like it was only yesterday. Welllll...maybe for you it was.” The Doctor in brown chewed his lip thoughtfully, trying to pinpoint the date. “Martha says hello, by the way.”

“And 'cheers' for the sonnets,” the other added.

This (Rose thought) rather dishy Shakespeare looked in amazement from one Doctor to the other. “The one so like the other,” he mumbled, trance-like, “As could not be distinguish'd but by names.” Turning to Rose, he said “How do you tell them apart?”

“If it helps,” said the half-human Doctor, “you could call me 'Doctor of Syracuse'.”
