Hello? Introduction and a story
Hi there--
Since I've written four Clara ficlets in the last month, it seemed like a good idea to join this comm! I won't spam, I'll post one story at a time. Thank you for your kind indulgence!
The first one was written just after seeing "Hide," when Clara was still so much of an enigma, and perhaps we were perceiving her as a possible threat to the Doctor. (Though on a quick re-read, I think this still holds up after what we've learned since.)
The Doctor's not the only one who sees Clara as a mystery...
Title: Trespass
Author: HawkMoth
Characters: The Tardis (Eleven, Clara)
Word Count: 314
Rated: PG
Spoilers: "The Bells of Saint John" through "Hide"
Summary: She only wants to do what's right.

"Trespass"

Beware, beware, beware.
I try to send a warning and he will not listen. He keeps bringing her inside me and I do not like it.
I try to keep her out and I cannot succeed.
She is an anomaly, a wrongness, a danger I cannot fully comprehend. Not like the other, the one I could not shake off. He was a different danger altogether. Whatever she is may be far worse. She is not the one who saved him in the depths of the Asylum, or helped him defeat the Living Snow, no matter what similarities he does or does not perceive.
I fear this one. I do not want her here! If she is not possible then she does not belong.
Yet I cannot resist the power she seems to wield. What else can I do when she is the only choice to save my Doctor? (I will show her my power. A journey to a pocket universe can be as rough or smooth as I choose.)
He is drawn to her. Why? He mutters and ponders when she is not about. What makes her a mystery? Why does he care? What does he sense that I cannot? He's been alone before. I know it is not good for him. But why her?
(I miss our family. I want Amy and Rory back. I want my child, my wild River. She would make him see sense, see the threat he burdens us with.)
I want to shake him. Warn him. Bring her back to where she belongs and leave her there. Retreat back into the shadows of Time and keep clear of the enemies we still have.
But he will persist. He will keep on taking foolish chances, plotting a dangerous course I will not be able to override.
Oh, my Doctor! I beg you. This is one mystery you must resist.
