Sad Kotyonok - The Advent Adventure

by TapTapAlways

This is a story for my friend who is sad sometimes. It will stretch across fandoms in total insanity and answer questions you never asked such as "What would happen if you introduced Doctor Strange's Cloak to the flying carpet from Aladdin?", "Would Doctor Strange and John Watson hit it off?" and "Would Doctors Strange and Who drink far too much while bonding?". An Advent Calendar.

December 6:st - The Doctor Can See You Now

The TARDIS waited for the Doctor to make up his mind where to go. Two days earlier, while the Doctor was busy on his own, it had gone to visit an old friend, the Cloak of Levitation, and had found it in the New York Sanctum, same as during the last visit.

What the TARDIS had not been expecting though, was the Cloak to be out and about, not in its glass case. It had chosen a new human, which hadn't happened in years. Not, the TARDIS thought, for a large number of regenerations of itself and its Doctor.

The human had been asleep, as humans frequently were, but the Cloak had told it enough for the TARDIS to figure that this was an interesting human. Someone, perhaps, that his Doctor could actually talk with without needing to hold back. Certainly he'd be experienced enough, having travelled through dimensions and wearing a sentient Cloak.

Making its mind up sooner than the Doctor, the TARDIS initiated a travel on its own, bringing its Doctor to meet the Cloak's Doctor. Maybe even, if this went well, it'd introduce this human to Mrs Hudson's Doctor as well. He reminded it of that surrogate son of hers, so maybe her Doctor would like him.

Ignoring the alarm from his Doctor, the TARDIS parked itself neatly in the Sanctum, pleased as the Cloak came flittering in greeting, from where it had been playing with the lights. The TARDIS was pleased to see that this new "Master of the Sanctum" the Cloak had chosen weren't attempting to clip its wings, so to speak.

They decided to spend some more time catching up, as Doctor Who and Doctor Strange met and tentatively started to have a somewhat awkward conversation, as they attempted to figure out why their relics wanted them to meet up.

As the TARDIS listened to the recollection of the Cloak from a long bygone era, it reminised. It was not that long ago that it had been regenerated with its Doctor. It was fond of the current version, for sure, but it liked how it had been before. So much so, in fact, that the TARDIS pondered influencing things just a little bit, next time, making sure they went back to the Eleventh Doctor, after the Tenth. Eleven normally came after ten, anyway, come to think of it. Honestly, it was like the universe couldn't count!

"What kind of Doctor are you, really?" Doctor Strange's slightly offended question brought the TARDIS back to the present, as the CLoak gave up on being draped over its roof to fly down to its new human, draping itself across his shoudlers in an attempt to calm him down.

"I am The Doctor" The Doctor replied with a slight grin, his red converse snapping smartly against the hardwood flooring. "Not an MD, then, I'm guessing" Doctor Strange, who absolutely was an MD, noted somewhat grouchely. The TARDIS made a mental note to ask Mrs Hudson what an MD was, and if she knew whether or not her doctor was one. If he was, maybe that'd go better.

In this, the Doctor is number Ten, but it is reminiscing back to Doctor Eleven, because... you guessed it: magic! I am just giving them an excuse how to give us Matt Smith back, that's all: The TARDIS did it! (And I while not the most avid Dr Who watcher, I am not a Capaldi fan, so I do hope you'll forgive me from magicing up the timeline.) Also, the TARDIS and the Cloak can talk to each other. Of course they can. It is just that kind of story.

I do not own anything you recognise - I don't even know where some of it is from!
