A/N: So here is the start of a drabble collection I have decided to put together. Updates won't be necessarily regular as I don't write like this often and I don't want to post one at a time on here. So they'll be about four per chapter. If you want to read them as they come then head over to AO3 or Wattpad where I'll post them as they come.
Most of them will probably be TenRose, but others may be included. Rating and pairing info along with any necessary warnings will be next to the title of each drabble. I've rated the entire thing as M just in case.
1. I Won't Surrender (Any Doctor / K / NONE)
I won't surrender. Not now; not ever. The universe can try and try. It may take from me; take from me the things I hold dearest. Friends, family, loved ones. But I'll just keep on going; keep on moving – and I won't ever stop. There may be times when I think about giving up; about giving in. But I'll come back from them – I always do. I'll never let myself drown, not completely. You may think you have me caught, but I'll come back again: I'll escape. And I will come back stronger than ever.
And I will not surrender.
2. Standardisation (TenRose friendship / K / NONE)
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"You can't seriously be telling me that you helped compile the first dictionary of English?"
"I am."
"Doctor..."
"Actually you're right,"
"Ha!"
"It wasn't the first English dictionary."
"See, I always know when you're lying. You're not that good, y'know?"
"It was actually one of the most influential dictionaries."
"What?"
"Listen, if I hadn't met Samuel Johnson in 1746, his dictionary wouldn't've been published in 1755 and you lot would probably still be spelling words with no form of standardisation!"
"You standardised English?!"
"I had a part in it, yeah."
"Um…well, thanks I guess."
"You're welcome,"
3. Sick (TenRose friendship / K / NONE)
ACHOO
"Doctor, you alright?"
"Fine,"
"Did you just sneeze?"
"No,"
"Are you sick?"
"No,"
ACHOO
"You're sick,"
"I am nothing of the sort."
"Doctor, go lie down. You look whiter than a sheet."
"I am not sick. I am fine. See? Fine."
ACHOO
"Doctor, seriously."
"Rose, I am not sick."
"You sure about that?"
.
.
.
"Roooosseeee?"
"Yes, Doctor?"
"I'm cold."
"I told you, go lie down. You're ill."
"I'm not sick."
"Well, you clearly are."
"I am not sick. Time Lords do not get sick."
"You're worse than a child, you know that, right?"
.
.
.
.
.
"Rose, I think I'm sick."
4. Rulebook (TenRose / T/M borderline / NON-EXPLICIT SEX)
Sex wasn't something he made a habit of doing, certainly not with those he travelled with. He had made it a rule that he would never have any form of sexual contact with his companions. And it had worked.
Until now, that is.
He wasn't sure what it was about her which made him want to chuck his mental rulebook out of the metaphorical window, but he did the moment his lips met hers.
She was intoxicating and he was hooked. And as he sunk into her for the first time, the rulebook was forgotten.
He'll find it tomorrow.
Maybe.
