Dr Who fic: Faces and Names

Greetings, mortals, I come bearing Dr Who fic! With yesterday's Who news, it seemed like the right time to post this old plotbunny. Crossed over with The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, if that's still considered a crossover since it's canon that the Doctor has met Arthur Dent...

Title: Faces And Names
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Fandoms: Doctor Who/Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy
Timeline: Season 1 (new Who), pre-"The Empty Child", but with spoilers for s3.
Word Count: ~1100
Characters: Nine, Rose, Mickey, surprise
Disclaimer:: The characters belong to RTD, DNA, and BBC. I make no USD, GBP or EUR off posting fic about them to LJ, FFN, ETC.
Summary: You can change your name, you can change your face, but can you change who you are? During a brief stop-over, a jealous Mickey tries to find out the Doctor's name. To Mickey's surprise, someone else already knows his name. An old antagonist turns out not to be who we think he is.

"You walk past a café, but you don't eat when you've lived too long" (David Bowie)

( If we all looked the same, if we all had the same names... )

Drabble

open_on_sunday had the prompt "box", which made me write... Spangel?!? Let's see how many get this one.

Something From The Heart

Wolfram & Hart's entertainment division was busy before Christmas, piping music to every store and producing every Christmas special on TV. So when Spike asked for help with a gift, Lorne said:

"Nope. Uh-uh. No time. Besides, Angel's my boss. I can't help you do... that to him."

"Even if I promise not to tell him you cancelled A Very Barry Christmas?"

Lorne cringed. "You wouldn't..."

"It might slip out by accident," Spike grinned wickedly. "Unless you tell me how to give the old poof what he deserves."

"OK." Lorne sighed and handed him the box. "First, cut a hole here..."
