I like this, especially the Doctor trying not to think of the TARDIS as any more than a machine. I can see in this how he ends up changing to end up calling the TARDIS she and stroking bits of it.

Thank you! :-)

Oh, I do like this! You have his voice down, without indulging too much in the verbal tics we all associate with One; his affection for both his granddaughter and the TARDIS is real (and believably fresh, in the case of the TARDIS, as you have him voyage from "it" to "her". The planet, too, is lovely. I wonder if they ever revisited it?

Thanks for writing this!

Aw, thank you very much! :-)

Somehow, knowing how erratic the Doctor and the TARDIS are, probably not.

That was wonderful! So neat to see the Doctor at the beginning of his lengthy time travelling career. He loves this ship, even while he denies it. :-)

Also, are you suggesting that Gallifreyan Clara was friends with Susan? Because that would be such a cool idea.

Thank you! :-)

And, yes, it was a sneaky ref to Clara, for those who spotted it. I think I may have seen someone prompt somewhere about Clara and Susan being friends and it stuck in my mind. It would be good, wouldn't it?

Oh, this is so lovely. I know we were talking about something like this for trope bingo but can't remember the exact conversation... but if my input helped to contribute to this wonderful story of beginnings, well it makes me even more pleased about it. :D I love the blushing flowers! And the Doctor, freeing his ship. And the stealth Clara reference too, wasn't there? ;) And your TARDIS voice is lovely.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. And, yes, stealth Clara. :-)

Yes, that post and thread got very long because of all the Hurt/comfort discussion and the apocalypse stuff, but I thought you were the one saying about the TARDIS being the one who was hurt... actually, I have no idea either, but whatever you said, it helped!!! ;-)

Awww, this is just absolutely lovely. The start of a beautiful friendship, indeed! *hugs them*
