Get Martha Laid

andrasteAfter Human Nature/The Family of Blood and Blink, I have come to the conclusion that I do not 'ship Doctor/Martha even though they are often unbelievably cute. This is because Martha is too good for him. If he's not shagging her by now, the Doctor is clearly blind or stupid, probably both.
So Martha obviously needs to get her lovin' elsewhere. The trouble is, where from? For such a big universe, there are surprisingly few eligible bachelors I think she'd go for. There are plenty of wonderful women for her to shag if she were so inclined, but I've come to the conclusion that I am bad at femslash. (It is probably my being straight that is the problem there. Woe. If other people were to write Martha/Romana or something I would probably read it.) Also, there are loads of characters she could have fascinating gen/ampersand with - Leela and Martha Jones fight aliens! - but see the title of this post.
Ian Chesterton: joined at the hip to Barbara.
Steven Taylor: Sleeps with a stuffed panda, which might be a problem. (Although Martha Jones/Julian Bashir would be a CROSSOVER OF ULTIMATE WIN.)
Ben Jackson: Actually, I can sort of see this. Not as a longterm relationship, but Martha might appreciate a Cockney sailor as a temporary bit of rough.
Jaimie McCrimmon: Probably not sharp enough to be a good companion for her, but see Ben re: temporary bit of rough.Assuming he would cheat on Two.
Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart: ... no, I just can't see that at all.
John Benton: ... or this.
Mike Yates: Is gay.
Harry Sullivan: *falls over laughing*
Adric: Great Maker, no.
Vislor Turlough: I do not think Martha would go there, even if he is a ginger love god.
Chris Cwej: Search me, I've only read half a dozen NAs.
Hex Schofield: Ah, now this could be rather splendid if he could be lured away from Ace for a while.
Fitz Kreiner: I've only read half a dozen EDAs, too.
Kroton: Is Cyberman.
C'Rizz: Is possibly psychopathic lizardperson.
Mickey Smith: In another universe. Plus it would be hard not to make it seem like getting the two black characters together just because they are black.
Jack Harkness: Could be canon by next week for all we know. Hooray!
Owen Harper: A thousand times no.
Ianto Jones: Another one I would dearly like to see. Martha saves the world, Ianto makes the tea.
And in case you thought I was forgetting them ...
One: Um. No, can't see it. (And it's not because I have a problem seeing One in a romantic light, just ... not with Martha.)
Two: Now this has distinct possibilities. Probably what would actually happen is that Polly would end up commiserating with Martha because her Doctor wouldn't sleep with her, either.
Three: He would tell her to make the coffee and then she would hit him with a chair. (Ten only gets away with it because he is cute.)
Four: Would never cheat onSarah Jane Romana Harry oh never mind.
Five: He would flail and stammer a lot. It would be ADORKABLE.
Six: Somehow, I don't think a meeting between these two would lead to romance. More like justifiable homicide on Martha's part - I just don't think she has the patience to appreciate his many charms.
Seven: The only Doctor I think actually is asexual.
Eight: I demand fanfic where Amnesiac!Eight gets together with Martha in 1969.
Nine: Like Ten, only with even more emo and even less shagging for Martha.
Hmmmm. I really think I was onto something with Martha/Julian Bashir though.
