THEY CALL THE WIND MARIA
(Songfic shipping a pre Doctor Who Patrick Troughton character and the reader)
One month in that damned spanish prison...
The portuguese Gazio looked to the little portrait of his beloved, that he carried in the medal around his neck.
The other prisoners started a chorus, as a way to maintain the madness far, far away from their heads:
-Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria...
Looking through his cell, Gazio started to acompany their singing:
-Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Jo
And they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a-flyin'
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dyin'
The other prisoners cried wile continuing to moan:
-Maria, Maria...
-They call the wind Maria...
Gazio keeped singing, with a voice way more higher, like if he hopped that someone listened to him:
-Before I knew Maria's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gol-durned lost
Not even God can find me...
The chorus also repeated it, and Gazio had the impression that people of other cells acompanied them:
-Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria...
The portuguese spelled a tear from his eye and sighed, before continuing:
-Out here they got a name for rain
For wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no word but lonely
And I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria, blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me...
Them voices fulfilled the entire prison, singing:
-Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria...
And tired, poor Gazio finished his scream:
-Maria, Maria
Blow my love to me!
This was the first fanfic that i ever made with a Patrick Troughton character (yes, with a character that he played before the Doctor). I originally posted it on Deviantart. Since it didn’t got any atention there, i decided to bring it here to Tumblr.
Some months ago, i watched an episode of an 1960's british TV Show called Sir Francis Drake. The episode was called The Bridge, and it haved Patrick Troughton (most known as the Second Doctor) acting in the role of a imprisoned portuguese revolutionary called Gazio, whom i really fell in love with. So i haved the idea of making a songfic with him in the prison, with the song They Call the Wind Maria, from the movie musical Paint Your Wagon. I think it haved an air of melancholy that really could be relatable with the character of Gazio. I will left the link of the episode and of the song, with the hope that you all enjoy this strange idea for a fanfic:
