Chapter 1 – Gallifrey falls…No more
A/N: HEY GUTS AND GALS I'M BAAAAACK. Things were really crappy for me earlier on in the year and I wasn't happy with where I was and who I was and what I was doing, but I stuck it out and completed my course even though I could feel it sucking the life out of me. I suppose you could say I was sinking back into depression but all is okay now, things are better for me. I'm doing a new course in youth work this time and at a completely different institute. I did a presentation a couple of weeks ago on an organisation of my choice (I did To Write Love On Her Arms – they are amazing) and it completely blew up, my tutor wants me to redo my presentation in front of the whole college and run a fund raiser day, I got sent a TWLOHA shirt to wear for the redo everything seems to be going right at the moment and for once I feel happy. I will be getting back to the other stories I started earlier but that may take time to get back into the swing of it. Here's a little Doctor Who heartbreak I (literally) dreamed up, woke up and then cried myself to sleep over, it picks up at the end of the 50th and completely goes off the rails and into lala land.
A/N: sadly I do not own even the slightest bit of Doctor Who, except maybe the slightly too many (to fit on my wall of course) posters, and my TARDIS money tin and all the other merch that I couldn't possibly fit on here. Also for those insane enough to not have gotten their hands of a copy of the 50th SPOILERS
"what do you make of the title?" the old man asked, I never forget a face but he obviously doesn't want to discuss that, "which title there's two, No More or Gallifrey Falls" I say unable to look him in the face, out of the corner of my eye I see him shaking his head I turn to look at him as he says "no, that's where everyone is wrong, it's all one title 'Gallifrey Falls No More' now what would you think that means hey?" a bubble of happiness akin to excitement swells within me as I lean closer facing him properly for the first time since he asked about the title "that Gallifrey didn't fall, it worked, it's still out there" the excitement built with every sentence despite the man looking towards the ground avoiding looking at me "I'm only a humble curator. I'm sure I wouldn't know" he answered trying to walk away.
"Then where is it?" I need to know I need the answers, any answers, I have a purpose now I just need a place to start but he's walking away. "where is it indeed, lost" he turns back to me "yes" I ask in a voice barely above a whisper "shh, perhaps, things do get lost you know, now you must excuse me, oooh you have a lot to do" he says, "do I?" I think I sound more eager than I should but it can't be helped "hmmm" he answers. "Is that what I'm supposed to do, go looking for Gallifrey?" the excitement in be at boiling point, "well that's entirely up to you, your choice, I can only tell you what I would do" he says walking away.
I can't help the smile on my face as Clara walks over to me. "What's got that look on your face hmm?" she asks, I just look at her and smile, "want to go somewhere? Anywhere? We'll go anywhere you want, it's your choice". Clara takes my hand and leads me back to my TARDIS, for a second there the action almost reminds me of another girl, a younger girl with blond hair. One I font like to remember, she wasn't mine to remember but the TARDIS and myself for that matter was all hers. I know Clara is curious about her I can see it in her eyes, especially after how the other me reacted at the war me saying "bad wolf", she must have realised there was a connection between the name and the room the TARDIS won't give up, she won't let Clara in there, threw her out and locked the door the first and only time she tried going in there, poor Clara.
"C'mon, I know we can go anywhere in space or time, but you're wasting time Doctor" Clara calls from the door to the TARDIS. I smile and run after her, as soon as the door closes though something strange happens. The TARDIS turned on and starts to move on its own, "what did you do Clara?" I ask, she isn't supposed to touch the controls without my knowing she knows that, "nothing Doctor, I'm over here" she calls from behind me, "if you're there, why are we moving? It can't be unit because we actually turned on this time." I ask out loud.
"Help me here will you?" I call to Clara, the TARDIS is up to something and I don't know what, she won't let me manually work her, she's a stubborn old bird when she makes up her mind about something, "oh come on, at least give us a clue where we're going then will you?" I ask the old machine but before she gives any clue we land. "Where are we?" Clara asks. "I don't know but it's got to be still on earth, we weren't moving long enough to move planets" I replied confused at what seems to be the TARDIS' throwing a tantrum about something. "Well let's have a look then shall we" Clara said while taking my sleeve and dragging me to the door, it is funny to me how SHE was the only one who actually held my hand before. (It's AU leave it alone, I know it's probably not true)
A/N: so that's the first chapter if you can call it that (honestly the first part is a recap of the end scene of the 50th) let me know what you think, I've got 6 chapters outlined and I'll be also getting back to my other two multichap fics in other fandoms I've got going soon as well so be patient with me I'm just getting back into the swing a bit
