Happy birthday to meeee 🥳

Boyfriend got me my very own fobwatch, as a memento for the Doctor Who writing I've been doing this year. I feel like it's very fitting for the further fobwatch AUs we've been discussing recently 😅

[transgenderdoctorwhomst-old]

The Doctor gives Amy and Rory a set of, as far as he's obviously concerned, very clear and sensible instructions. A video on a DVD edited down by the TARDIS, subtitled even, on how to take care of him while he's in his temporary human-fobwatched state. Delivered to their home a day ahead of time, in a package including his sonic screwdriver, some bowties, a confusing variety of books, and several sets of "casual" "outfits." A letter with a basic description of the situation is taped to the top.

"Hello Ponds, I have an important job for you! I need to hide out as a human for a bit, and I need you to keep me out of trouble. I'll be there tomorrow. WATCH THE DVD!!!! Lots of love, the Doctor."

Amy thinks, oh for fucks sake, of course he's pulling something like this, and tries calling the Doctor, to no avail. Rory thinks, at least he bothered to warn us first, accepts his fate, and gets the spare room ready.

When they're done their self-assigned tasks, they watch the DVD with hopes the instructions will be nice, easy, and concise.

"One: don't let anyone, not even me, know who I am." "Okay, easy enough," Rory says. "Two: don't let me wear neon bowties, I have standards!" Amy groans. Rory checks the run time, and puts his face into his hands.

Gallifrey fandom who remembers better than me - do we have examples of Romana seeing timelords as superior to humans, specifically, and where (like which ep and at what point can i find them)?

Hi! I tumbled onto your post about Rory!Master and I maaay have a question or two. But first, I want to take a bit to appreciate that you included River in it because lately the stuff I've seen about the Ponds sort of erases River and I'm 🥲 because naur River's very much a part of their life and they'd spend Christmases and stuff with her. Okay I'm veering out of topic but I'm curious how Idris (the Doctor's TARDIS) having a thing for Rory fits into Rory!Master? Also, does this mean River and the Master share a teeny bit of DNA of sorts? Or not? Thank you!

hiiiii I’m an absolute champ at letting asks go unanswered for ages hiiiii

ANYWAYS Glad I can do my part because it’s a missed opportunity to do stuff with the Ponds and not include River at least a little bit. she’s everything. Even if it doesn’t quite make sense I do not care They Are A Family. The vibes.

First of all it’s been SO long since I’ve seen The Doctor’s Wife omg,,, My immediate response and feelings about Idris’s attitude towards Rory honestly falls very firmly into “The Universe just really likes Rory Williams”. He is one of the Universe’s Special Favorites. Look at him. It cannot be helped.

Beyond that I also imagine Idris didn’t see the Master past any perception filters, especially if Rory didn’t have the watch(and at that point he definitely didn’t).

If anything there was more of a draw to Rory that she couldn’t place, had no way of placing that’s just been there since the first time he stumbled inside the TARDIS and knew how she worked because of ‘reading’. Just the feeling you get when you’re inexplicably drawn to and fond of a person because of a shared background you had no way of knowing about before one of you brought it up. Or maybe it is just because he’s so pretty.

And ! I ! Have ! Never ! Decided ! That !

I do think he’d avoid The River Subject for as long as possible once the watch is open and he’s still in that face. I think that between all of the factors of River’s conception there’s like a nonzero chance her and the Master share DNA even if Rory was 100% human at the time. I’m sure it would be confusing as fuck, and I’m sure that in The Everything Else fucking Time Lord DNA wouldn’t be traced back to Rory of all people in anyone’s mind.

When it comes to what the Master says, though. That all boils down to whatever is most convenient and works the most in a given situation. The Master would probably never claim River as like, a daughter unless it somehow held the most weight in a social situation by calling himself dad just to make it sting or something.

Oh, man, though, it doesn’t really work out with the convoluted time line I’ve dropped Rory!Master into, but now my mind is starting to wander into the idea of Missy picking up Melody from Kovarian and that is… An entirely different can of worms that I don’t think I can start to get entirely into right now… Much to think about…

The Doctor finds something of Rory's.

The Doctor's always rifling through their things. Rory's about to complain when the Doctor speaks first, voice wound tight.

"Where did you get this?"

"My dad must have given it to me," Rory guesses . The Doctor rubs his thumb over the fob watch and won't face him.

"Can I-"

"No." Rory surprises himself. He probably hasn't touched it in years, but the Doctor even holding it now sets him on edge. "Give it back."

"What are you arguing about?" Amy chimes in. The Doctor holds it out to her, and that's…

That's okay. If it's with Amy. Rory relaxes. "Nothing."

hey. hi. yeah you. you should right now think about the ending of human nature/family of blood where the fobwatched doctor demands to know why he should die for the doctor as he was to exist, why he isn’t allowed to hold onto love, why he has to give up everything he knows he is and become someone else just to save people. and you should be imagining that, but instead of some nurse he met, the person he loves is the master, who, even knowing that it’s his fault that he exists like this in the first place, he can’t stop loving, and worse, knows he still won’t once he takes his memories back but that’ll it’ll be so much more complicated, so much more painful. and why does it have to be him.

@lightcreators ( the master ) sent  🏠   for  a  domestic  based  starter. [ x ]

The Professor was content with being at the cottage with her husband. The old relic was away a the moment, which had originally gave her full control over their protective bubble. However, his blonde variant had arrived and she welcomed him ( as always ) with open arms. Today was a rainy and rather dull day. Right now, she was going to go for dinner with Baxter Lloyd. The locals knew she was married to the much older, Professor Yana. She simply would explain Baxter was a very good friend of the couple. They didn’t ( and couldn’t ) begin to fathom what was before their eyes. Best not to confuse them.

As Jamie Burke walked the sidewalk of the shopping center, she gladly looped arms with her husband. She had done so many times with the old relic’s arm looped in hers, going out for tea and food. Simple things, which she enjoyed doing with him. If he liked them, he won’t openly tell her. She only assumed he did these things to keep her happy and not because he enjoyed doing them as well. “I was thinking, after we have dinner ... we could go off exploring the town. I know the old relic isn’t too found of making a scene .. but I know you better than that. What do you think?” 

She wasn’t sure if that was even a good idea or not. Who really cared if it was? She wanted to spend as much time with her husband while he was more open with his feelings and could free express them to her. Yes, she loved the old war relic more than anything in the universe, but that  Master of the War was a cold and distant man. Yes, he did all of this for her ( and his love for her ) but he still had not once admitted or spoke of any feelings about her. Something that she held onto that one day he’d be his bold self. To be the Master and sy everything to her, rather than to shut his feelings out. Luck for her, the younger blonde version -- this Koschei she was with now -- was the opposite of it. In a sense, anyways. It was still Koschei. Her husband after all. He still held many secrets from her, but he was more open with his feelings. That gave her some peace of mind about him. That’s why she wanted him to stay as much as she could. He apricated and desired her. 

“First, we need to pick a place to eat. Elegant place? A café? Normal? What are you thinking in terms of ... appearances?” she asked of her husband. She wasn’t sure if he wanted the whole village to know he was there or if he wanted to keep a low profile. She was so used to him constantly changing his mind to fit his mood. Sometimes he wanted to make a scene and others ... not.

Rattle  of  the  movements  of  an  antique  clock  adorning  his  apartment,  in  a  pleasant  sound  that  echoed  in  unison,  surrounded  his  thoughts.  An  discrete  need  of  an  time  recollection,  for  someone  who  always  sensed  time  was  escaping  day  after  day  —  always  coming  late  when  he  thought  he  anticipated  well  his  moves,  who  watched  around  the  time  period  he  was  living  sometimes  with  an  distance  unexplained  sensations  …  An  stern  expression  who  noticed  day  after  day  moves  inside  an  society,  where  realization  of  the  bridge  he  was  part  of,  between  common  people  and  noblesse,  between  evolutions  and  advancement  to  come,  tourmented  silency  inside  how  much  he  could  impacting  his  world  …  As  he  sensed  all  the  time  an  shadowing  presence  behind  his  back,  when  crossing  shadows  inside  the  streets,  falling  inside  a  realm  of  complete  darkness  awakening  strange  unexpected  feelings  inside  of  him.  He  was  feeling  comfortable  inside  these  darkness,  and  someday,  an  name  seemed  resonated  endlessly  inside  his  head,  as  in  some  manner,  there  were  something  inside  his  mind  needed  to  been  explored.  James  Moriarty.  It  acted  like  a  memory.  It  acted  like  an  recollection.  Nevertheless,  sensed  it  was  always  something,  something  upcomping  —  It  was  for  the  moment  left  inside  his  portion  of  his  mind,  acting  inside  scientist  spheres,  searching  for  appreciated  hands  be  able  to  recognize  his  talent.  Maybe  what  he  thought  it  was  perceiving  inside  darkness  was  merely  an  impression  given  by  the  pressure  of  the  meeting  !  Maybe  he  was  simply  imagining  there  was  something  behind  their  darkness,  as  there  was  something  already  ruling  behind  that  dangerous  realm  !  Messy  apartement,  inside  an  environement  full  of  papers  and  newest  researches,  tried  to  take  advantage  of  the  new  studies  he  had  been  able  to  obtain.  It  was  supposed  to  be  a  usual  day,  another  peaceful  journey.  

Nevertheless,  four  drums  sounds,  who  apparently  resonating  coming  from  the  walls  themselves,  embraced  temporary  sounds  of  the  clock.  Once  more,  rationality  wanted  to  believe  it  must  had  been  coming  from  another  apartement,  or  maybe  did  something  broke  for  made  that  noise  —  but  it  resonated  once  more,  discreetly,  before  disapparearing.  For  some  reason,  that  sound  was  still  keeping  to  tourment  him.  For  some  reason,  he  was  followed  by  that  noise.  For  some  reason,  that  noise  —  that  noise  generated  an  sentiment  of  confusion,  that  noise  created  an  frustration  sentiment  he  cannot  explain  …  Slow  decomposure  of  his  features  inside  an  silenced  panic  forced  him  to  remember  he  wasn’t  alone.  Oh,  he  was  always  sorry  to  worry  his  beloved  Elisabeth  over  that  brutal  confusion  !    ❝  The  noise  …    ❞  It  was  the  only  thing  he  could  tell.  Confused  eyes  over  affectionate  one  of  his  lady,  of  the  affectionate  gesture  to  reassure  him.  He  was  always  doing  too  much,  given  to  himself  too  much  trouble  !    He  was  worried  over  details,  he  knew  that.  He  was  worried  over  everything,  he  knew  that  too  !  Apologies  were  expressed  by  an  lowered  down  gaze,  who  was  followed  by  her  hands  contact  over  his  face,  over  an  mutual  gaze  for  each  other.    ❝  These  obscures  drums  keep  following  me,  again  and  again  …  maybe  I’m  going  mad  …    ❞  Remembrance  over  an  young  man,  in  which  he  shared  the  name,  but  in  which  he  seemed  had  an  particular  distanced  outlook,  where  silent  stares  were  always  welcomed  by  the  young,  generated  further  confusion.  He  was  Harold  Saxon  —  senior  —  a  lord  who  was  doing  his  best  for  the  future  of  society  …  and  there  was  an  Harold  Saxon  Junior  who  watched  over  circumstances  inside  an  frustrated  gaze,  who  sometimes  pay  him  a  visit,  who  often  pay  them  a  visit  …  who  always  had  condescending  spark  inside  his  eyes.  Distasteful.

@lgwilt Donna is a temp AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD THEIR MEMORIES WIPED?? Genius addition 🤯😂 I have no idea if John Smith would be a threat to her in the same way as the Doctor, but what a cool idea to play with.

Firm believer Donna would take no shit from Harry Saxon, and he quite likes her for that 😅

(Also, she never noticed he bears a striking resemblance to the former PM. She doesn't watch politics.)

eot au where ten tries to save the master from being pulled back into the time lock by grabbing onto him & of course instead they both get pulled back in together. back to gallifrey in the last days of the time war. possibly imprisoned by rassilon. having to keep up this fragile truce they've established & work together to find a way out

[teuchisrinnegan]

TENDONNA!AU — in an effort to escape the weeping angels, donna ends up being the (un)lucky companion that gets stuck with a fobwatched doctor in london in the early 90’s.

trouble arises when whatever story the tardis gave john smith had him believe he was engaged to donna (oh no)

[transgenderdoctorwhomst-old]

Thinking about fobwatch!11. Maybe he's hiding as part of Faking His Death. Maybe he's claiming that reason, but is just trying to run away from himself for a bit. Maybe it's a third reason I haven't thought of yet.

(I'm not sure what name he would take, his default seems to be John Smith, but I will happily take suggestions! He will temporarily be John until I can think of a different one. Because John Smith is fobwatched!10 to me.)

Amy and Rory have no idea what to expect. They don't expect to realize how alien the Doctor is, by seeing how human his fobwatched self is. John, for example, sleeps. John doesn't have the mental scars of loss and war. John is still very autistic, but may try to mask (unsuccessfully) in a human way. John can get sick. And drunk. And hungover.

Last time, we saw that the Doctors interest in history translated into being a history teacher. Here, I imagine 11s love of children to be translated into a job involving kids. Maybe he works at a daycare, or tutors, or both?

Does he live with Amy and Rory, or does he live in his own flat? I know they definitely wouldn't mind housing him, but it's not like he isn't independent and capable of taking care of himself. (He'd want to live near them though, considering the implanted memories would suggest to him that he knows them).

How does John dress himself? He probably keeps the Doctors affinity for "cool accessories", but that would be translated into roughly 2010s fashion, so he likely won't be wearing the fancy old man fashion the Doctor likes. Still hats, probably bright shoelaces (I know), I could see him wearing a necklace in place of his bow tie.

There are many more thoughts to come, but here's what I've got so far! Please think about it with me. Please.

[the-worms-in-your-bones]

Utopia au where it’s Narvin instead of the master:

- obviously he’s still in the same body, but the doctor still doesn’t recognize Narvin because well it’s the doctor, but he does spend a good amount of time trying to figure out why this guy looks familiar

- Narvin has a mental breakdown immediately upon opening the fobwatch

- he either does still steal the tardis or follows the doctor around complaining until he leaves and takes Narvin with him
