Heheheh, yeah, those are definitely two of my favorite 4th Doc stories, for all the reasons you list. *g* And it's not so much that old Who didn't do emotional--it's that the emotion rarely got personal for the Doctor, and only sometimes for the companion.
Not that I'd ever discourage you from following your Romana fashion bliss, but glad you're not forgetting my Charley. *g* I'm working on the Eight costume... (IE, I've requested one from mom for my birthday, and delivered her some photo reference. *snerk*)
Peeking at your reading list like I always do: How's 'Faerie Tale'? I've read the first few of Feist's "Rift War" books and like them quite a bit...
And back to Tara: Did you know Paul Cornell wrote a short Shakespearean play taking the 7th Doctor back to Tara? It's in "Decalog 2". In iambic pentameter, no less. It's basically WhoSpeare! Very silly fun, I think you'd love it. *g*
