Hi lovelies!

I've got another little story for you! Here's the link to Chapter 1, since Tumblr has decided to stop doing the little thumbnail for my links.

A huge thank you to RabbitDarling and Bobcatblahs for planting this seed in my brain. I've never tried my hand at an AU before, so please be kind and let me know what you think!

Summary:

As head of the local Lungbarrow Family, the Doctor had many responsibilities - debt collection, tax evasion, political bribery, the occasional charity donation... Chief among those responsibilities was keeping his Family safe, something he had excelled at since the day he was put in charge. That was until he found his own men roughing up a strange blonde woman in the seedy underbelly of London. Everything about her was just a little bit off. Her story was just a little too convenient. She was just a little too good at getting under his skin. She clearly knew something he didn't and he needed to figure it out before it put her life, and his Family, in danger.

And another huge thank you to princess-pine-cone for being my first ever beta reader!

A hot man?

*hears two heartbeats*

MASTER, the hot man?

The doctor recognizing the master is like Dr. doofenshmirtz recognizing Perry the platypus. Idk how to explain it but it’s the same deal. Y’all know what I mean.

ten: i'm the man who never would! if there was a guy and i had to kill him, i would simply not!

one: and then i hit him and hit him and hit him until he finally fell over and died

[bribun96]

50k? Uh... I've already done that more than 4 times over in the same fic. And it's still not done. 😂

spin this wheel for a length of fic. you have to write a fic that length

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.

Some of my favourites include:

Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)

Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?

Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?

Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!

Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?

The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.

So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:

Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"

Hmmm Complex Family Trauma would work better with my dinner.

[bribun96]

Yeah, can you grab a couple bottles of that Existential Dread for me? I'm almost out.

[bribun96]

What time are we starting , boyos?

hey i'm free later if you wanna go insane together or something

[bribun96]

PHYSICAL MEDIA SUPREMACY NOW AND FOREVER

[bribun96]

Ten: Don't you think he looks tired?

If Doctor who were real: Elon Musk: *exists* Rose mother fucking Tyler: Absolutely not

[bribun96]

What they don’t tell you is that if you get good enough at doctor who tumblr you don’t even need to go looking through the tardis wiki, your mutuals will just know that shit

[bribun96]

AHHHH Gaile, you're so sweet!!! 🥰 Thank you so much! And I do look forward to more of your review blooms. 🌸🌸🌸

AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT!

Author Ao3 Pen name: Non-Linear Time (BriBun96)

Tumblr user: @bribun96

Ships written: NineRose, TenRose, TentooRose, ElevenRose

Why I love this author: Bri's stories are always so unique and wonderful! The only reason I'm not up to date on just a bit is because I know I'll get sucked right back in and have to dedicate a day to reading it because of just how amazing it is!

Most popular story: Just a Bit, NineRose

SUMMARY: The Doctor was ready to Die. It wasn’t that he wanted to, really. He didn’t want anything these days. He was just ready. That is, until he stumbled upon a frightened ape in a dingy department store basement. Without warning, the Universe grew...softer. Just a bit.

My favourite of their stories: Honestly, it'll have to also be Just a Bit! That fic goes so ridiculously hard!!

Anything else to add: Bri, while also being one of the most wonderful writers I know, is also an extremely kind and sweet individual who deserves more love on her fics!

(This is smth new I want to do on my blog to highlight some of my fav authors/friends in the fandom!)

Yoooooo this is unironically so fucking good.
