Drabbles of the Doctor Whoniverse

by ShinyTogeticFTW

Drabble: noun - a fictional story, typically in fanfiction, that is exactly 100 words long. This is a collection of my Doctor Who drabbles. They may include any of the Doctor's incarnations in no particular order and/or his respective companions, but they mostly feature New Who characters (including, but not limited to, those listed below, which are the ones who appear most often).

25. TARDIS LOG (Cameca)

TARDIS LOG:

A remarkable woman, the like of which I've never seen before… and doubtless I shall never see again. Still, though sharing cocoa with someone is customarily a proposal of marriage in the fifteenth century Earth Aztec empire, I have no regrets; as I said, she was a remarkable woman. She gave me a brooch before we parted, and I almost left it behind – I have since deemed it precious. Someday, perhaps, I shall wear it on my lapel and remember Cameca… but I believe love is something that I will not consider for a long time yet.

A/N – 5/29/13: I know, despite what I said in the summary, almost none of my stuff is Old Who – barring the… I guess you could call them cameos of 1-7 in "You Can Count on the Doctor" and the passing mention of the Valeyard in "His Worst Nightmare" (and again in the separate vignette "The Valeyard's Reappearance") – but I wrote this drabble (about five months ago) after watching the first episode of The Doctors Revisited, which included the classic First Doctor episode The Aztecs. The Doctor sweet-talks an old Aztec woman in order to find out about a way to get back to his TARDIS and inadvertently gets engaged to her. That bit about him actually wearing Cameca's brooch later is legit, too; in the Seventh Doctor novel White Darkness, he wears it on the lapel of his cream linen suit! :D

UPDATE – 2/10/14: Chapters 15 and 19 ("What Sort of Man" and "Bardballoc", respectively) have spoilery updates to explain newly established discrepancies in light of recent episodes. If you haven't noticed them, you may want to check and see what I have to say about it. Or not. Up to you.
Additionally, this story has been marked as complete now, but if I write any more I will still post them here; thus, feel free to follow if you want to be notified of updates. :) Ordinarily I would think you wouldn't follow a fic that's complete, but I've seen it happen so… yeah. Also, my sister informed me recently that she never favorites fics if they aren't complete, so um… if you feel the same, favorite away if you'd like to! ^.^
