Teaspoon :: Divine Intervention by wmr

Tenth Doctor
Divine Intervention by wmr [Reviews - 3] Author's Notes: A slightly different twist on a scene from The Fires of Pompeii, inspired by a comment in Sensiblecat's LJ and a brief exchange with Dave7. With many thanks to Kaethel and Gillian Taylor for BRing and helping me out with a few tricky lines.
