justprompts: Write about a time when you were jealous.

It's silly to be jealous of a memory.
But he turns a corner in the TARDIS, bumps into Rose, and for a second, she looks at him like a stranger.
Words flicker in the back of his mind, half-remembered and possibly never heard at all. The real Doctor, the proper Doctor... He can't blame her looking at him ( Read more... )

Written for jaeled, for the prompt "oakum".It took the Doctor a minute to realise that Martha wasn't watching him, or watching the time rotor, or any of the things she usually did when the TARDIS was in flight. Instead, she was... staring intently at the console itself. The Doctor stopped, and frowned at her. "What... what're you doing ( Read more... )

((OOC: Part two of the Oklahoma saga! ...which I apologize for being so late, and you guys can punish me appropriately for that. Um.))A bus pulls up in front of a camp somewhere in rural Oklahoma, at six or seven in the morning. They've been driving all night, but it's a big bus, room enough to sleep in, and people enough to trade off driving - ( Read more... )

justprompts: What was your favorite moment of the last year?
(Honestly, this is not the answer to the question at all, just... what happened when I started writing.)It's impossible not to retrace the same paths every now and again.

Loaded onto the bus are a couple ancient and forever boys, a Time Lady, a couple doctors, and a couple guardian angels who really didn't have any choice in the matter (one of those people was ( Read more... )

justprompts: Rain.It's strange - even as he starts talking, he finds it strange - that all she has to do is ask, and look at him with those dark eyes full of question and expectation and sadness, hurting for him though she can't possibly know how it feels, and it all comes tumbling out ( Read more... )

justprompts: Wish you were here.If anyone asked, he could say the TARDIS just did this sometimes. He meant to arrive in Cardiff, 2009, on the Plass above the Hub, and instead... it materialized somewhere else altogether. It wasn't as if Martha or Jack could disagree with that, and a TARDIS wasn't meant to be piloted by one person anyway ( Read more... )

"You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who fought for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know." - AnonymousThe TARDIS door slammed shut, the Doctor ducking inside apparently juts in time - no sooner had the door closed than it shuddered like something had just hit it. Arrow, undoubtedly. Good aim, too. If he'd been just ( Read more... )

justprompts: "No one holds command over me. No man. No god. No Prince. What is a claim of age for ones who are immortal? What is a claim of power for ones who defy death? Call your damnable hunt. We shall see who I drag screaming to hell with me." - Mark Rein HagenHe should have come earlier ( Read more... )
