i would still lay down my life for you ; [ taptaptaptap ]
... your song is ending .. something is coming ... he will knock four times ...The Doctor is going to die. But that has always been a certainty; at some point in time, of course he will die. The man he is now will gradually cease to exist; he'll take all the knowledge he contains now and pour it into another shell, another form, and the Doctor ( Read more... ) -
51st century & beyond
The TARDIS materializes on the fringes of the slightly shabby city, behind a cluster of trees and, ironically, the fifty-first century equivalent of a phone box, something like a high-powered sort of communications booth that's more likely to scan your retina than to politely request the drop of a fifty pence piece ( Read more... ) -
boxing day ;; scene, taptaptaptap
The Titanic was just as much of a disaster as the ship it was named for. Not so much in the loss of life as the catastrophic level of crisis. The Doctor did all he could, and maybe he knows that, but he does not seem especially keen on acknowledging it. So many lives lost ... the cyborg-alien, the couple who had spent their life savings to go, ( Read more... ) -
secrets locked up and loaded on my back, it weighs me down ( taptaptaptap )
With his alternate in the console room working on tracing the parallel universe through Jack's mobile phone, and the captain himself safely asleep (he'd lingered at his companion's side, just to make sure), the Doctor seeks out the Master's presence within the vast interior of the ship. There will be time enough for him to get to work on tracing ( Read more... ) -
christmas cheer [ scene, for taptaptaptap ]
With a week of advent deeds beneath his belt, the Doctor has retreated back to the TARDIS for a bit of a breather. Instead of taking up residence in the shiny, tinsel-bedecked control room, he meanders off into one of the ship's many inexplicable side rooms. This one looks rather like a Victorian parlor, something Dickens might have held an ( Read more... ) -
ghost of christmas present ( open to capnhotness )
Inexplicably, the TARDIS parked in the basement of Torchwood One seems to more closely resemble Santa's workshop at this point in time. There's a wreath hanging on the door that's left ajar, letting Christmas music spill out into the empty storage bay. Once anyone walks inside, they'll be greeted with a view of garland and the twinkling lights ( Read more... ) -
[ open to capnhotness ]
A little while has passed since their return to the TARDIS; enough, at least, for the Doctor to change back into one of his customary suits (this one blue, with accompanying red Chucks, of course), although he's shucked the jacket by now in the interest of rolling up his shirt-sleeves for the cramped space beneath the ship's console. After Harry ( Read more... ) -
time in essence ; open to taptaptaptap
The passage of time has always been different for them, as Lords of it, but with the very essence of his being trapped in such a limited space, the Doctor has entirely too much of it. He's trying to make the best of the situation, as he does most things (being trapped in 1969, living a bit of his life as a human in the early twentieth century, ( Read more... ) -

stop the cycle, set me free ( capnhotness )
( clock is ticking while I'm killing time, spinning all around, nothing else they can do to turn it back )
It's a heavy thing to suggest, that one might actually find time to be bored during the end of the world, but the Doctor has somehow managed just that extreme an accomplishment. If anything, the Master seems to be avoiding him. The ( Read more... )
