It wasn't often that the Doctor stayed in one place for so long. There were exceptions to the rule. Fandom was one such exception because he was still trying to figure out how it worked and, well, look, it was too complicated to explain in narrative. Needless to say, the Doctor coped with this whole settling in one place thing by disappearing on a ( Read more... )

The thing about a TARDIS was that, as many people had pointed out before, it was bigger on the inside. In fact, it was ridiculously gigantic on the inside. It was also rather old as far as TARDISes went and the Doctor hadn't exactly been running it to its recommended specifications. With the giganticness and the age, that meant that things broke ( Read more... )

The Doctor was again not in his office, though the note directing people here was still up there. He was in the park, back in his deck chair, alone. River Song was not present or accounted for. Needless to say, despite the miserable weather, the Doctor was relaxing in his chair with his head tilted back and his eyes closed. He wasn't asleep. He was ( Read more... )

The Doctor had noticed new people on the island. He was just busy. You know, busy, that thing he was when he wanted to ignore something. Then morning came and he suddenly wasn't busy. That was why he was sitting out on the grass in his deck chair wearing sunglasses and enjoying a drink with a little umbrella. Yes, it was morning. No, there was no ( Read more... )

The Doctor was rather pleased with himself for sorting a few Founding Fathers out. Hamilton and Madison had turned out to be fairly decent at holding their own, though he could have done without the smoldering glances and unresolved tension between the two. Still, their little steampunk adventure worked out well in the end and American history ( Read more... )

The Doctor hadn't been expecting company. So much so that he hadn't actually been wearing pants when there came a knock on the TARDIS door. He turned the music off, put his pants back on and answered the door ( Read more... )

The Doctor's headache was still there. He was grumpy, partially because of the way the headache was gnawing at him and partially because he hadn't managed to find the power source the last few days. Things were much more interesting when you found them promptly. There was perhaps a small amount of sulking because he hadn't figured it all out yet. ( Read more... )

The TARDIS was as it had been since Saturday morning, innocuously parked in the park near a tree of no particular consequence. The Doctor had planned on skipping out for a trip somewhere to jump over the boring days, but the TARDIS decided no, they weren't going anywhere. Instead, the Doctor spent his time working on various bits and pieces that ( Read more... )

There was nothing really unusual about the park, unless you counted the ducks and flamingos and squirrels who wore hats and carried little notebooks. That playground was sort of suspicious too, if you were suspicious about things like playgrounds.

A few moments later, after a strange noise echoed through the park (sort of like this) and probably ( Read more... )
