Author's Note: This is the 7th story in a series - for anyone who hasn't read the rest, they're on my profile, but you don't need to read them to read this. this chapter will give you a summary anyway.
Basically, the Doctor always travelled with his daughter Lily, and when the Doctor, she and Rose met Jack, she fell for him. They got together, but then got seperated, and were reunited on the Master's Ship at the end of DW series 3. After that, Lily went back to Torchwood with Jack, and by now they're married. Series 1, 2 and 3 of Torchwood have happened - the Doctor has just regenerated into Matt Smith.
This is just a summary of the whole series so far, the rest of the story will be in 3rd person.
Introduction
My name is Lily Harkness, and my story is far from normal.
I suppose I should start by saying I'm not really human. I was brought up travelling around space and time with my dad, the Doctor. The two of us are the last time lords in existance, and I can't remember much about our home planet, Gallifrey.
I should also tell you that time lords have the ability to change their entire body when they're dying -to regenerate into a new person - which means we can live an awfully long time. I'm currently around 210 years old - it's kind of difficult to tell exactly how old
I'm in my second regeneration, and my dad has recently been forced into his eleventh. I look around 35 years old, I'm a fairly average height, with a curvy body, green eyes and flaming red hair.
Now, I no longer live in my dad's time-space ship, and travel with him. I now live in Cardiff, with my husband of almost a year, Captain Jack Harkness.
Our story is as unusual as ourselves, and began some time ago, in 1941 when I was still in my first regeneration. I looked about 25 then, with straight black hair, very pale skin, and bright blue eyes.
Back then, my dad and I were travelling with a young londoner, named Rose. Rose hadcome to be a good friend of both of us, and it was clear that she and my dad had some chemistry, and there was something between them, even if neither of them seemed to see it, or were willing to admit it. We found Rose in London, 2005, and things just went on from there.
We travelled everywhere, and this one time, we ended up in London 1941 - the height of the London Blitz. And there I met him.
He was charming right from the start, and he just had a sparkle about him. He was different to anyone I'd met before, and he set himself apart right from the start.
His name was Captain Jack Harkness. Rose and I got seperated from my dad, and we ended up dangling on a piece of rope from a barrage balloon. In the middle of the London Blitz, this man, who didn't even know me, saved me.
He pulled me onto his ship, which was tethered to Big Ben. He was smooth, charming, not to mention incredibly handsome, and the natural flirt within me couldn't resist. We danced to Glenn Miller, on top of the spaceship, and we drank champagne.
Sure he was handsome, charming, but I knew he was a conman. I might flirt with him, but I wasn't going to fall for his stupid tricks, whatever they might be.
Long story short, he ended up travelling with us, and we started getting a bit closer. At first we were just flirting, because it was in both of our natures to do that, but then he started to change a little, and I knew I was falling for him.
Then one night a Slitheen incident led us to Cardiff, and whilst my dad - ever protective, wouldn't have approved - and Rose were seperated from us, we kissed for the first time.
With Jack convincing me he had the potential to be faithful as long as he had the right woman, we started a relationship and kept it secret from Rose and my dad. We were incredibly happy and were started to get very close.
After a few months, we had to tell my dad, who wasn't at all happy, but he didn't have a lot of time to do anything about it because we were transported to a Game Station in the year 200100. The Daleks were there and invaded.
Jack and I got seperated, and Jack ended up on the floor were the Daleks were. They killed him, and I was too late to save him. My dad manged to get rid of the Daleks but it was too late for Jack.
My dad was forced to regenerate because Rose had absorbed the Time Vortex, and he had to take that from her. I wanted to take Jack's body back with us, but my dad rushed us out of there.
The three of us kept travelling without Jack, whilst I mourned him. We saw a lot - even a parallel universe where Rose's father was alive, but her mother died, and Jack was alive, though married to some guy named Ianto.
I was slowly piecing myself back together, though I never stopped thinking of Jack, when disaster struck again. This time for Rose.
We ended up at Torchwood One, London. There ghosts, except the ghosts weren't ghosts - they were Cyberman. And on top of that, Daleks again.
A plan was formed - opening the void between universes, to suck the creatures back in. From the parallel universe, Rose's father and the others returned. Dad tried to send Rose to the parallel universe, where her father was, her mother from our universe could reunite with her husband, and Rose's long time friend and former boyfriend Mickey had moved. She wouldn't go, and while the others went back, Dad, Rose and I stuck clamps to the wall and tried to cling on. Becuase we'd passes to the parallel universe before, we would get sucked into the void if we weren't careful.
But Rose let go of the clamp. I tried to reach for her but it was useless. At the last moment, her parallel dad reappeared and took her to the parallel universe with him. She was still alive, but trapped there.
My dad was devastated, but the two of us carried on, both broken, both missing someone.
We found a woman named Donna, on her wedding day, ruined her wedding day, and sent her home. Then found a woman named Martha - a young student doctor. Martha started travelling with us.
We went to a few places, and then ended up at New New Eearth. We met the Face of Boe, an ancient revered old creatured. He told us two things - he told us we were not alone. Then he told me Jack was still alive.
I found out that my dad had known all along and was absolutely furious, but I had to make up with him because he's my dad, and he was very sorry. We kept travelling, and I asked if anyone knew Jack everywhere we went, but no-one did.
Then I found him.
I found him in Cardiff. We were reunited and it was brilliant. The TARDIS dragged us to the end of the universe but we didn't care. We hugged, kissed, and finally got the chance to say we loved each other. We were together like we always should have been.
Of course it couldn't stay perfect forever. We were faced with an evil time lord who had been hding a a human, but was now back in time lord form, with the aim of taking over the world.
We neded up as captives on his ship. Martha managed to escape, sent by the Doctor on a mission to destroy the master, but the rest of us couldn't get away.
He forced Martha's family to be his slaves, forcibly aged my dad and put him in a cage, locked Jack up and killed him over and over for his own amusement and saved the worst for me.
He aimed to repopulate the time lord race, with pure time lords. And I was the only female time lord. He intended to make me pregnant whether I consented or not and he wasted no time in carrying out his plan.
He'd take me to the room where Jack was chained up, unable to do anything, and he'd do it there, forcing Jack to watch, knowing he was torturing Jack by rendering him helpless.
After four months, almost broken and in the worst possible state, I managed to escape, find Martha and help her spread the Doctor's word. And after a year of the Master's terrible reign, we returned to the ship, to take down the Master.
I was terrified but I faced him, and his reign ended. Time was reversed, as if it ever happened, and the only people who knew about the year were those who had spent it on the Valiant.
In the end the Master was shot by his wife, Lucy Saxon. He refused to regenerate and died, and then Jack asked me to move to Cardiff with him.
Jack had been brought back to life when Rose absorbed the time vortex back on the Game Station, and he was now immortal. He'd used his vortex manipulator to get off the Game Station, but got the years wrong, landed in 1869, and his vortex manipulator had burnt out. He was forced to stay in the year he was in, searching for my dad and me. In the meantime he'd started working for Torchwood Cardiff, and by the time I was reunited with him, he was running it.
He asked me to go back with him, and he said he'd made Torchwood something I could be proud of. As much as I didn't want to leave my dad, it was time for my to have my own adventures.
Almost two years ago now, we landed in Cardiff, said goodbye to my dad and Martha, and he took me to his Torchwood. It was brilliant - an organisation for protecting the world from aliens, monitoring a rift in space and time.
I met his team - Owen, Tosh, Ianto and Gwen.
By now we're all friends - Owen became like the brother I never had, Tosh was a great friend to me, Ianto slowly became a friend, and I was least close to Gwen, Gwen and Jack were close, but me and her just never really became proper friends.
Torchwood became everything to me - work, home, life, and all with Jack by my side.
Jack and I became truly solid. We had a difficult time coming to terms with everything that had happened during The Year That Never Was, but with Jack to hold me close and send the bad dreams away, things got easier, and I was adjusting to living as a human. There were rarely dull moments at Torchwood too.
Lot of things happened, including a visit from Martha, who was now working for UNIT, and the death of Owen. A ressurection brought him back to life, but for the moment he's the living dead, and we're not quite sure if we'll ever be able to fix him.
I continued to see my dad occasionally - he was now travelling with Donna, whose wedding we'd crashed at Christmas.
After several months of living in Cardiff, we attended Gwen's wedding to her longtime boyfriend Rhys. Whilst at the reception Jack pulled me onto the empty dancefloor, whilst our song was playing, and got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked me to marry him.
The answer was an immediate yes, and we planned to get married with just a few guests, at the Globe Theatre, travelling back in time in the TARDIS with my dad's help, and swinging the Globe with the help of my ex-husband William Shakespeare.
Our plans were thrown into dissaray when Jack's long lost, thought to be dead brother turned up, hell bent on ruining Jack's life. He blew up half the city, nearly killed Owen in a nuclear power plant and shot me fatally.
I was forced to regenerate, but not before I shot Jack's brother, only just preventing him from shooting Tosh.
Jack held me in his arms, begged me not to die, and I regenerated for us. Jack was brilliant, came to terms with it very quickly, and we were back on track, the wedding and all.
Shortly before the wddig, disaster struck again, as it always did, once again in the shape of the Daleks. Were were reunited with my father and Donna in a bid to get rid of them, as were Martha and our old friend Sarah Jane, and Rose and the others came through from the parallel world.
We defeated the Daleks and in the process, both Donna and Rose had absorbed time lord DNA and become half human, half time lord. For Donna it was enough to burn her mind, and the Doctor was forced to wipe all memory of any of us, from her mind.
For Rose however, the energy reacted with the energy from whe she'd previously absorbed the time vortex, and she could stay half human half time lord. She and the others didn't return to the parallel universe.
Jack and I got married as planned.
It was absolutely perfect and without a doubt the happiest day of my life. Jack looked better than I'd ever seen him and the speeches and vows we made to each other were enough to make us both - and most of our guests - cry buckets.
Afterwards we had a small reception in the funciton room of a pub that a relation of Ianto's girlfriend ran - Ianto had been with his girlfriend about 8 months at that point, and although their relationship lasted quite a while, Ianto was private about it and told us very little. They split up a few months ago, and Ianto told us things hadn't felt right for a while - they'd just grown apart.
After the wedding, we took a month long honeymoon in sunny Barbados, and it couldn't have been better. We spent the month lazing on the secluded beach or in the swimming pool, or rolling around in bed - nothing could have been better.
When we got back, we spent 6 months happily married, living in the hub, and saving the world from aliens. By now Owen and Tosh had finally gotten themselves sorted too, and got together. It was unconventional to say the least given Owen was still dead, but they were managing, and there was nothing we could really do about him being living dead.
In what turned out to be a horrific incident, the children of the world were all possessed. As we started to investigate, Jack found out someone had planted a bomb inside him, and he forced us all out of the hub, and was blown up.
The whole bay was blown up and we were being hunted. We split up, and Ianto, Owen and I ran, thinking Jack was dead. I'd confessed only a few hours ago to the two of them that I thought I was pregnant - something I hadn't told Jack for fear of how he'd react, and that we wouldn't be able to raise a baby.
Owen obtained some pregnancy tests for me and I was indeed pregnant. Terrified and on the run, I didn't know how to deal with the information.
It was a long week, and we found out that Jack was still alive - apparently he could even survive being blown apart from the inside out. The whole team of us hid out in a warehouse whilst the discovered that the children were being possessed by a race who were demanding 10 percent of all children to make them leave. Even worse, the government were going to allow it.
Gwen had recently found out she was pregnant, but I still hadn't told Jack that I was too. I was still so worried by it all, especially with the extra distractions of trying to save every child in the world from an alien race.
The whole thing culminated in Jack and I going to confront the 456, but it went wrong, and we were flooded with radiation that killed everyone in the building. Of course Jack and I were fine, but I started to feel pain, and I miscarried the baby.
Jack was furious that he hadn't known I was pregnant, but we didn't have time to discuss it because we still had to finish the 456. In the end we had to sacrifice one child to save every other child, and the child we sacrificed was Jack's 10 year old grandson.
We all went home in silence, but the bay was in ruins and we had no home. We went to Ianto's, but soon started arguing about the baby, and after a very heated argument we went our seperate ways, I with my dad, and he to stay with Martha, who was now married to Mickey.
After a bit of space Jack and I of course reunited, apologised and came to terms with what had happened. Whatever happens, we're devoted to each other and nothing can pull us apart.
We talked it out and agreed that we did want a family, and we'd do it sooner rather than later, but not too soon. For now we're happy to just enjoy each other.
We got on with rebuilding the hub, and it had been 3 months since the whole 456 incident, when disaster struck again. This time, everyone was having dreams about the Master, who to the best of our knowledge was dead
We immediately got in touch with my dad and found that the Master was returning. The four of us - Dad, Rose, me and Jack - discovered his plan to turn everyone on the planet into him. I was terrified when he carried it out - who wouldn't be after what he'd done to me?
The whole thing culminated in a long story involving the rest of the time lords and ended in the Master disappearing, stuck in a time lord.
It also ended in my dad having to regenerate after going into a radiation booth to save someone else.
Straight from his rengeneration, the TARDIS started to crash land and we met Amelia Pond and Rory Williams and just for a change, saved them from aliens, after which Jack and I returned home.
Now we're back at home, and there haven't been any major disasters in the month since we last saw my Dad.
Here's hoping we can just be happy now.
