I came up with this fan fiction shortly after watching the "Desolation of Smaug", so there may be some differences between this and "Battle of the Five Armies", but I had a friend who has seen all three movies read over it.

This is based on the Hobbit movies, rather than books, seeing as Tauriel is in it. For those in Middle Earth, it takes place a few months after "Battle of the Five Armies".

For the (Twelfth) Doctor, it takes place after Clara leaves, so probably after the season 9 finale.

For River, once she comes in, it takes place sometime after "Angels take Manhattan".

This obviously is going to have Whouffaldi (ClaraxTwelve) and Kiliel (KilixTauriel) in it, as it says in the description. Legolas will be nothing more than a friend to Tauriel, and the same goes for River and Twelve.

I think that's about it. I hope you like it!


"Tauriel. Tauriel."

I opened my eyes. That voice wasn't possible. It had to be a dream. Just a dream.

"Tauriel."

"Kili," I whispered aloud.

It was his voice. There was no other person, dwarf or otherwise, who could have that voice. Except it wasn't possible.

Because Kili was dead.

I stood up. I wasn't dreaming; this didn't feel like a dream. I could tell now.

I got dressed and packed a bag quickly. Even if this was a dream, it'd probably be worth it to see Kili one last time.

I was almost out of the kingdom when I felt a presence behind me.

I turned around and loaded my bow to find…

"Legolas?"

"Hello, Tauriel."

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"I might ask you the same question."

I sighed. "I have to do something."

"Then I'll go with you."

"No." I turned around and continued walking.

"Tauriel, please. Answer me." I could feel Legolas following me.

I turned around to face him. "I can't."

"…Does it have to do with Kili?"

"Of course not!" I waited a moment before answering to make my lie seem more truthful, "Why would I want anything to do with a dwarf? Especially one who's…dead." The last word came out quiet.

"It does, doesn't it?"

"Tauriel…Tauriel…"

"Fine. Yes, yes it does."

"Tauriel, he's…"

"I know. Trust me, I know. But there's a voice in my head. Telling me where to go."

"Tauriel, that's not-"

"Possible, I know. But I promise, it's there."

"Then let me go with you."

"No. I can't put you in danger; your father would never forgive me," I turned away. "He won't forgive me for leaving, let alone taking his son along."

"Please, Tauriel. You can't go alone."

"Yes I can."

"No you can't."

I considered letting Legolas come with me. It wouldn't hurt me, unless Thranduil came after me double. Once for leaving, and once for letting Legolas come with. Although, I could always lie and say he followed me and I didn't know. But Thranduil would punish us both either way. I didn't want to hold myself responsible for getting Legolas in trouble.

Then again, it certainly didn't look like Legolas would be going back.

I turned back to face him. "Fine, you can come," I gave in. "But it's not my fault when your father decides to punish you."

"So where are we going?" He asked.

I turned back around and continued walking. "Follow me."

…"Tauriel…Tauriel…"

The voice was getting quieter. I was running out of time. But I could feel that I was getting close.

"…Tauriel…"

I was almost to Kili.

I knew that he probably wouldn't be there. But there was a tiny chance he would be. And that was a chance I had to take. Even if I could only talk to him for thirty seconds.

I needed to say good-bye one last time.

"Tauriel, we've been walking for hours," Legolas complained.

I looked up at the sky. The sun was just starting to rise. "You were the one who wanted to come with me."

"I know."

We walked in silence a little while longer.

Then I stopped. I could feel him.

"…Tauriel, Tauriel…"

Kili.

He was close.

"What's wrong?" Legolas asked.

I held my finger up. "We're close."

We were on a tall hill covered in trees. I wanted to start running, but I didn't know if Legolas would be able to keep up. I began walking faster.

We came down the side of the hill into an open feild.

And he was there.

Kili.

Kili.

Legolas stopped. "He really is here."

I started to run, not caring if Legolas kept up or not.

"Tauriel, you came!"

"Of course I came," I smiled sadly.

"…Is that Legolas?"

I glanced behind me. Legolas was standing at a distance. I looked back to Kili, "Yeah. He made me take him with."

Kili looked down. "So how have you been?"

I shrugged. "Okay, I guess. I'm not…with…Legolas if that's what you were thinking."

Kili didn't answer.

"How are you even here?"

"Pulled a few strings."

"What?" I asked.

Kili shook his head, "Doesn't matter."

I reached my hand out, "Can I…"

Kili shook his head again. "Sorry, no…I'm not really here, I guess. It was all very complicated."

"How long do we have?"

"Not long," Kili admitted.

I could feel tears building up in my eyes, and I wasn't sure I could hold them back.

I thought saying good-bye one last time would be okay. I thought it would make me feel better. I thought I'd finally admit…

Never mind. But I was wrong.

One last good-bye was not what I needed.

I needed a hello.

"I need you to find someone," Kili said.

"Who?"

"There's a man from a far away place called Gallifrey. He isn't human, but he looks like it. He calls himself the Doctor, and he can help you."

I was confused, "Help me what?"

"If you want, and only if you want, he can help you bring me back."

Of course I wanted that. I had wanted that ever since Kili had died.

"Just the Doctor?" I asked.

Kili nodded. "Will you try to find him?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Well…" Kili's voice trailed off, "dwarves and elves aren't usually…friends…"

He said the word 'friend' as if he wasn't quite sure that was the right word. As if it could have been more.

"I don't see why we must listen to that stereotype."

Thranduil would kill me if he knew I said that, and Thorin probably would too if he were alive.

Kili began to fade. "We don't have much time."

"I love you." I couldn't stop myself from saying it. Those words had been lingering in my mind for a while now, and I needed to let them go.

Kili smiled sadly and it was like a punch in the gut to know he was fading away again.

I didn't expect him to say it back, but in the moment before he vanished, Kili said, "I love you too, Tauriel."

And then he was gone.

I wiped away the tears that had started spilling out of my eyes.

Legolas hadn't moved, probably unsure if it was safe to approach me.

I walked slowly over to Legolas. When I reached him, I buried my head in his chest. He didn't say anything, he was just there for me. And that was exactly what I needed.

After a few minutes, Legolas finally spoke. "What did he say?"

I looked up. I could feel tears drying on my face. "He told me to find the Doctor."
