The Way It Was Meant To Be

by littleoddstar

What if, during the Time of the Doctor, when the last Time-Lord in the universe regenerated, he became a girl? This folows the first adventure that trasnpires from this, and has all the things a fic needs-slight canon, humour, the TARDIS bullying Clara, slight Whump! and fluffiness for afterwards. And references. Sequel one-shot has been posted-see final authors note.

Prologue – Clara

In which there is canon. Actually, it is exactly the storyline.(Don't sue me! I said it wasn't mine!)
"Raggedy Man, Goodnight." - Amelia Pond (Karen Gillan)

Clara Oswald watched on as the Doctor said goodbye to someone only he could see. There was nothing she could do. Nothing. He was going to die, and she couldn't do anything. He was dying right before her eyes, the man she loved, and there was nothing she could do. She watched as he turned to her, and pulled off his bow-tie. He looked at her with a sad, regretful smile on his face, and the bow-tie dropped from his fingers into a pile on the glass floor. That, above all other motions he had made, told Clara that it was the end. He staggered, and leant against the console for support. "No, No!" she said, half sobbing, "Please don't change..." she whispered, reaching out to hold his hand. He staggered again, but this time, when he recovered, he was different. And Clara hoped, that in time, him being different would be OK.
