FOREWORD

While I have done a plethora of Harry Potter crossovers and fics, the same cannot be said about my favourite franchise, Doctor Who. Indeed, the genesis of this crossover came when I had this weird notion of doing yet another crossover between Harry Potter and Final Fantasy X where I would do some Harry and Lulu shipping (which may still happen, but not yet). I then had this weird notion of Jamie McCrimmon, my personal favourite male companion from Doctor Who, ending up in Spira and hooking up with Lulu. But that didn't work out for me.

After a bit of thought, though, wondering which Final Fantasy world Jamie would be best in, I decided on the world of Final Fantasy VI. And almost immediately, I thought of him being paired with Terra. The reason why is that she'll remind him of Victoria, whom he seemed to have a crush on, albeit a Victoria with magical powers. I also want him to regain his memories of travelling with the Doctor, as it was kind of a raw deal for him (and Zoe) to lose their memories when the Time Lords took them back home at the end of The War Games.

I'll also admit, I've taken a page out of the Outlander series in introducing Jamie to this world. Then again, Diana Gabaldon was inspired by Doctor Who (and Jamie McCrimmon in particular) to write the Outlander novels. And the title, Tuebor, means, in Latin, "I will protect", which sums up Jamie pretty well.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, spoilers ahoy for both Doctor Who (particularly the early years, as well as a few of the Big Finish audios) and Final Fantasy VI.

Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my work. No bellyaching allowed.

Thirdly, this is an M-rated work, mostly for violence, and maybe some sexual references. You have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Doctor Who and Final Fantasy VI are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Jamie will come chasing you with a sword, screaming "CREAG AN TUIRE!"…
