Jack Harkness x reader - my werewolf
Hope you're well. Could I please request Jack from Doctor Who x reader with this Halloween prompt “I don’t want to scare you, but there’s a uh… werewolf behind you…” “oh that? That’s just my wife.”? - Anon💜
It wasn’t often now that the doctor and Jack encountered one another, and although the doctor knew that you and Jack were married, he had never thought to explain the situation to his companions.
Travelling with Jack was fun, but sometimes you wouldn’t experience a full moon for months on end and it drove you insane, which is why your husband often brought you to the plant of full moons.
It was beautiful, always night with clear skies, animals to hunt if you wanted, endless amounts of grass, waterfalls and streams and rivers.
While you were prowling around, your form massive and imposing compared to Jack’s, you didn’t stray too far from Jack, though you were wild and running on pure instinct right now you still recognised his scent.
Jack was sitting in the grass as he watched you run around, claws digging into the dirt when he heard the oh so familiar sound that made a grin spread across his face.
He got up, padding over to you he took your fur covered face in his hands, locking eyes with your golden ones.
“Behave sweetheart.” He said.
You give a soft growl in response and he give a kiss to your forehead and nose before heading to go find the source of the noise.
Of course you heard the noise too, and watched as Jack ran off, but your attention was drawn back to the sound of the river and the fish.
You went back to trying to catch the fish with a clawed hand for a little while before lifting your head.
You scanned the area but you couldn’t find Jack anywhere which made your growl lowly in possessiveness for your husband and worry.
You immediately started to sniff the air, trying to catch his scent and when you did you wasted now time in running in that direction.
Your paws slammed against the ground as you raced towards Jack, and after a few minutes you could see him so you slowed down your run to a walk, standing back on your legs as you padded over and loomed over him.
You stared down at him, breath coming out in heavy pants which messed up his hair slightly.
Jack was talking to a woman who was standing in front of the TARDIS, and her gaze immediately snapped to you and she took a small step back.
“I don’t want to scare you, but there’s a uh… werewolf behind you…” she mumbled.
Jack grinned brightly, pointing up to you.
“oh that? That’s just my wife.”
He turned around, rubbing your head as he looked back at the woman.
“Rose, this is (Y/N), my wife, she’s a werewolf. I would tell her your name but she won’t remember it in this state.”
Rose nodded, still a little bit unsure of you as you loomed over Jack while staring at him.
Jack leant himself against your chest, grinning brightly at Rose, and the doctor when he came out of the TARDIS.
The doctor paused briefly before grinning and rushing over to hug you.
“(Y/N)!”
Giving a soft snarl you sit back on your hunches, tail wagging slightly at the familiar scent of your friend.
The doctor smiled and began explaining everything about you to Rose while Jack stayed near you, and let you wrap a clawed hand to pull him closer.
He could feel you nibbling at his jacket and lightly biting it, but he didn’t panic knowing you meant no harm.
He ruffled your fur, trying to wrap his arms around your large form in a hug, trying to tackle you, loving the way your tail wagged even more and you let out happy growls

☆ — doctor who companions and their love languages

✧ masterlist — navigation
✧ characters — rose tyler, jack harkness, martha jones, donna noble, amy pond, rory williams, river song, clara oswald
✧ carmillas notes — doctor who hyperfixation RAHHH. no bill cause i haven’t gotten to that season yet and no sarah jane cause im saving her for a future part 2 of this !! ALSO these are my thoughts and i don’t CARE if you disagree
✧ warnings — might be ooc in some parts. also might be shitty cause i haven’t written in months. spoilers for the end of season seven.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ rose tyler
-> rose likes to receive acts of service. she likes it when you do even the littlest things for her, like opening a door or pulling her chair out for her or calling her in the middle of the day simply because you missed her, that’s what really gets her heart going. she appreciates every little thing you do for her and never forgets any of it. in return, she likes to give physical touch and words of affirmation. she knows how much you love her and recognizes every little act of love. she’ll hold your hand while walking or randomly run her fingers through your hair, all while telling you how great she thinks you are and how she loves you.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ jack harkness
-> jack is a whore, so he likes to give words of affirmation. while half of that is probably flirting, he can be really sweet when he feels like it and goes out of his way to make sure you know that. he likes to receive physical touch. he’s lived for much longer than he should’ve and has watched everyone he loved either die or leave him, so he likes to know your there by feeling your hands in his or somewhere on him. somewhere he can make sure you haven’t died or left him just yet.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ martha jones
-> martha likes to give and receive quality time. because of her job, she often doesn’t have a lot of time for things outside of work and she feels bad about it. she can easily be reassured from her guilt by sitting down somewhere or going out, as long as she gets to spend time with you. while quality time is her number one, she also likes receiving words of affirmation. she spent a lot of time feeling second best with the doctor, and she likes to be told she’s wonderful and appreciated.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ donna noble
-> donna doesn’t necessarily have a specific love language she likes to give or receive, shes kind of a mixed bag when it comes to that, she shows all of them equally. even though she doesn’t favour a specific love language to show, she likes to be on the receiving end of gift giving. even if its something small for nothing in particular, if you get her a gift she’ll get all giddy and becomes the most loveliest person afterwards.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ amy pond
-> amy likes it when she’s given physical touch. from making out to just about anything, she loves it. she’s also partial to gift giving, and just like donna will get super excited if she’s given anything. she also doesn’t really have a specific love language, but she does go for physical touch a lot. she doesn’t just love to give it, she also loves to receive it.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ rory williams
-> rory, like amy, also loves physical touch, but he shows it more gently than she does. while shes a bit more suggestive with her touches, rory’s are pretty innocent and are usually just holding your hand while walking or just a random hug in the middle of the day when he feels like he missed you. he also gives a lot of acts of service and is purely a gentleman. an awkward gentleman. he doesn’t really care or have a preference about what he gets in return, but he really does like quality time.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ river song
-> river gets her biggest love language from her parents, physical touch. while her touches are just as gentle as rory’s, she often has her hands in a somewhat suggestive place, but never somewhere to make you uncomfortable. for example, she may have a hand on your thigh while sitting or on the small of your back while walking. she also doesn’t really mind what she gets in return like rory, but she does have her mothers love of gifts.
˚✩ ⋆。˚ ✩ clara oswald
-> clara is very much a words of affirmation girl. she’ll grab onto your hand while walking somewhere and go on some mindless rant about how much she loves you and how amazing she thinks you are, and she could go on for hours. she also likes to receive words of affirmation, but a close second for her is physical touch and acts of service.

Do You Still Love Me?
10th Doctor x Reader - 11th Doctor x Reader
Summary: Life with The Doctor is constantly changing.
Warnings: fluff then angst then angst then fluff
Word Count: 2,615
You had been travelling with The Doctor for quite some time now and you absolutely loved it. You absolutely loved him. You'd see his companions come and go, most of them seemed to fall in love with him in some sense, and it was always your biggest fear. Your biggest fear was The Doctor asking you to leave. You couldn't do it.
After you left Donna back on earth with no memories of the TARDIS, you, or The Doctor, you were terrified. You were terrified that not only The Doctor would leave you but that he'd make you forget the amazing things he has shown you, that he'd make you forget him. You couldn't contain your feelings any longer, that night you sat in your room and cried. You felt stupid just sitting there and crying but you couldn't hold it in anymore.
The Doctor wanted to check on you so he walked up to your door and just as he was about to open it, the sound of your cries stopped him. He didn't want to upset you any further and he remembered that talk you had with him about knocking so he decided to try it. He raised his hand and knocked on the door three times in rapid succession. The sound jolted you and you quickly got up and tried to clean yourself up a bit before you responded.
"Yes, Doctor?" you tried to make your voice sound as calm as possible.
"A-Are you alright? I know you were close"
"You were close too"
Silence fell on the conversation for a few moments before The Doctor spoke again.
"Can I come in?"
"Do-do you have to?"
"No" he sighed, not wanting to say what he was about to "If you want to go I understand"
"Do you want me to?"
"I-it's your choice"
You could hear the sadness and pain in his voice. You flung the door open and looked up into his eyes.
"Doctor, being here in the TARDIS, being with you, all of this, has been the best years of my life. I don't want to leave but if you want me to, I will"
The Doctor wrapped his arms around you and pulled your body tight against his.
"I don't want you to go"
Standing there in his embrace, you knew you had to say something. You knew it would probably ruin everything and he'd have to take you back to Earth and leave you forever but you could keep pushing your feelings down.
"Doctor, I'm sorry, this is incredibly selfish and I wish I didn't but I have to tell you the truth. I love you, I have for a long time now and I know you don't-"
You were cut off by the feeling of his lips pressed against yours in a beautiful, passionate kiss. The kind of kiss you had seen in movies and read about in books but never thought was real. The kind of kiss that made you melt into his arms and pray you never had to break it. But you did, you couldn't breathe so you had to pull away.
You rested your foreheads against each other as you panted, trying to catch your breath.
"I love you too"
If you thought travelling with The Doctor before was amazing you were completely shocked to see how much more it all was when you were dating him. He took you to some of the most romantic places you could've imagined. On your 1 year anniversary he took you to see Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Elvis all in the same night. After the concerts you went to a wonderful party in the 20s where for the first time in a long time, The Doctor danced. You had a delicious dinner in a French restaurant a few centuries ahead of your own time and to finish the night off perfectly The Doctor gave you a necklace. It was a small star pendant hung on a beautiful gold chain.
He placed it around your neck and fixed the clasp in the back "That, my love, is made of the stardust from the last star in the universe"
"Doctor, tonight has been one of the best nights of my life, thank you"
"I thought the concerts would be a big hit" he said with a soft smile.
"The concerts were amazing but that's not the reason. You are. This is one of the best nights of my life because I've gotten to spend the past year with you"
He leaned down and captured your lips in the perfect kiss, making both of you feel completely content with each other.
The Doctor knew what was coming. He didn't want to leave you but he had to, he had no choice. He took you to a beautiful planet, filled with waterfalls and strange little birds that sang the most beautiful songs. He wanted your last memory together to be one you could look back on fondly. He set up a picnic under the most beautiful waterfall he could find. You opened the doors of the TARDIS and were met with the fresh smell of the waterfalls and the sweet melody of the bird's songs. You walked over to the red and white checked blanket laid across the grass. You sat down and enjoyed the picnic with the man of your dreams. You strolled around the planet, taking in the exquisite scenery, hand in hand with The Doctor. You stood under the biggest waterfall around. You stared into the eyes of your lover and you saw your life with him. You saw the happiness you could have with him.
"I love you, Doctor, with all of my heart"
"I love you too, more than you'll ever know"
Your lips meet in the sweetest kiss you have ever shared, for you it was filled with promise and hope for the future, for The Doctor it was his last desperate attempt to hold onto you for as long as he could.
You made your way back to the TARDIS and turned in for the night. The next morning you woke up to find that The Doctor wasn't beside you, then you realised you weren't in the TARDIS anymore. You were in a hotel room somewhere. You called out for The Doctor but he didn't answer. You ran down the stairs and out the door looking for the TARDIS. You looked around and saw that you were in London sometime around the turn of the century. You stood in the middle of the street and you realised, he had left you there. He had done the one thing you never wanted him to do, he had made your worst nightmare a reality.
You collapsed right there in the street, tears started to gush from your eyes. Just one day earlier you had had one of the best days of your life and now you were alone. You barely gathered yourself together to walk inside, you saw the woman at the receptionist desk and thought she could answer a few questions.
"E-Excuse me, where are we?"
"Sandringham Hotel, London"
"And um, what year is it?"
"2006. Are you okay?"
"No, no I'm really not"
You've had enough, you've had enough misery and you've had enough time to wallow in self pity, you're done. You decide to make your way to Wales, maybe you can get the help you need there.
When you finally get to Cardiff you head for a large reflective tower that you know very well. You walk over to a section of pavement and stand there, waiting.
"Jack, I know you're in there. Let me in" you call out, making you look like a lunatic.
Suddenly the floor beneath you starts to lower and you enter The Hub. You see Jack standing there, you run over and wrap your arms around him.
"Hey, what happened?"
"He's gone, Jack. He just left me at some hotel in London"
"What? He didn't say anything?"
"No, nothing. We had an amazing day, we went back to the TARDIS, then I woke up alone"
"I'm so sorry"
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"That planet filled with those weird dogs with no noses. How long ago was that for you?"
"Over a year"
"Here, this looks like something" Jack said passing you some files "A little girl in Leadworth said she met a man called 'The Doctor" who had a blue police box"
"This is him, Jack. It has to be. When was it?"
"1996"
"She might still be there, what's her name?"
"Amelia Pond"
"I have to go"
"I know, just be safe and when you find The Doctor, slap him"
"Oh don't worry, I will"
You leave almost immediately, grabbing your things on your way out, you get in your car and drive to Leadworth. Once you get there you go to the girl's house and knock on the door. A young woman opens the door and addresses you with a thick Scottish accent.
"Who are you?"
"I'm a friend of The Doctor's and I need to speak with you"
"Come in, quick"
You head up to her room and see all of the TARDIS toys she's made over the years. You pick up a little sculpture of The Doctor.
"This is very good, Amelia"
"It's Amy and be careful with those"
"Of course, Amy. Can you tell me about when you met The Doctor?"
She tells you all about her experience with The Doctor.
"Really? Fish fingers and custard?" you giggle out.
"Yes, it was the only thing he would eat" she joins you in your laughter.
"Thank you for telling me all of this, Amy"
"You don't think I'm crazy?"
"Not at all, I believe you completely"
"How do you know The Doctor?"
"I used to travel with him"
"Why don't you anymore?"
"He left me"
"Just like he did to me?"
"Yes"
"Why did he leave you?"
"I don't know, that's what I've been trying to find out for the past 2 years"
"You spent 2 years looking for him?" she asked in disbelief.
"Haven't you been waiting for longer?"
"Yes, but I haven't been looking, I have no idea where to look"
"Neither do I really, you are the first solid lead I've got"
"I'm sorry I can't help you"
"You have, you've helped me so much"
"How?"
"Because of you, I know he's okay"
You visited Amy every now and then, but there was never any news from The Doctor. One day you were looking for anything that could be The Doctor or aliens in general and you got a phone call. It was Amy. She briefly told you about what happened with the Atraxi and you immediately drove to Leadworth. You decided to move there, It was the closest place to The Doctor so you thought it would be your best chance at finding him again. You rented a little cottage, just up the road from Amy's house and you settled in nicely.
One night you were out in your garden and you heard that familiar groaning whirr that made your heart skip a beat. You ran down to Amy's but you weren't quick enough. You just got through the gate in time to see the TARDIS de-materialise before your eyes. You were devastated, you'd spent 4 years looking for him and you were 7 seconds too late.
Amy's aunt saw you standing in the middle of her yard and called out to you. You went in the house with her and gave her a reasonable explanation as to why Amy was gone and why you were in her yard in the middle of the night. While you were talking to her you heard the TARDIS again. You ran out the door but it was nowhere to be seen then you realised, it had to be in her room. You dashed up the stairs and up to her room. You were suddenly extremely nervous, The Doctor left you for a reason, surely he doesn't want to see you. You stood in the hallway, working up the courage to face him. You turned, about to walk through the door and then you saw. You saw Amy and The Doctor kissing. Even though he had a different face you still felt like someone ripped your heart out when you saw the only man you ever loved kissing someone else. You ran down the stairs with tears in your eyes, wanting to forget the entire evening. Before you could walk out the door you heard Amy call your name.
"What are you doing here?"
"I heard the TARDIS and came running, but I'll leave. You don't need to worry about me"
"But The Doctor's here! This is what you've wanted for 4 years"
"It looked like I'm not what The Doctor wants anymore. I was stupid to search for him in the first place, he left me and I should have just accepted that. I should have just accepted the fact that The Doctor never wants to see me again"
"That's not true" you turned around to see him standing behind you.
"Doctor?" you looked up at him as a few years fell down your cheeks.
"It's me, love"
'Don't call me that"
"Wh-Ow!" he yelped, feeling the palm of your hand collide with his face with heavy force. Amy jumped a little, shocked by your actions. From what you had said to her she thought your reunion with The Doctor would be much different.
"You slapped me!"
"You left me!"
"I didn't want to"
"Then why did you?"
"I didn't want to watch you leave"
"I wasn't going to leave"
"You would've, when you saw what I had to do and when you saw me"
"You mean your regeneration? Do you really think that little of me?"
"I-I didn't know-"
"Exactly! You didn't know. Doctor, I would have loved you if you had regenerated into a Slitheen, I don't care what you look like, I only care about who you are"
"You don't understand. When I regenerate I change my face but I also change my personality. I'm not the same man you loved"
"You change aspects. You still save the Earth from alien invasions and you still care. You're still you, you're just a different version of you and if you had given me the chance I would have fallen in love with you all over again"
"You would?"
"Yes. But I understand that you don't want me anymore so I'll just go"
"What do you mean? I'd never not want you"
"What about Amy?"
"I don't love her"
"But what about what I saw upstairs?"
"You saw Amy kissing me?"
"Yes"
"Did you see what I did next?"
"No, I couldn't stand there any longer"
"Well if you had you would have seen me tell her that I'm not interested in her"
"You're not?"
"No! Of course not"
You wrap your arms around his neck and hug him as tightly as you can and he squeezes you back tighter.
"How long has it been for you?" you ask, still not breaking contact.
"A long time. How long has it been for you?"
"4 years"
"You kept looking for me for 4 years?"
"I loved you, I couldn't just forget you"
"You keep saying that word, 'loved' do you still love me?
"My dear, sweet Doctor, I could never not love you. You are my everything and I love you now just as much as I did 4 years ago. Do you still love me?"
"I never stopped loving you, not for a second"

A Night In - Jack Harkness hcs
summary: what usual nights in with your boyfriend, Jack, is like.
Jack Harkness x genderneutral reader
---------‐----------------------------------------
Since Jack doesn't have a place of his own, except for the Hub itself, crashing at your apartment has become normal. Not that you mind, the company of your boyfriend is better than the quietness of your flat.
Every other night, you wake up to the sound of the sound of someone breaking into your apartment. But as soon as you hear the shout of "Honey, I'm home!" from Jack you lower the gun you hide under your pillow. And then all the other nights, you're both tumbling into your flat, laughing at something stupid one of you did on the mission you were just set on.
If you're lucky Jack will bring back a bottle of wine to share, he'll say something like "ah, 1923, great year, well not for me..." then go down a rambling tangent about his past in early history.
You have no idea how Jack manages to forget that mortal humans get absolutely shit faced off alcohol every time you both share a bottle of something. He'll only remember when he's laughing at one of his jokes and notices that you haven't joined in on the giggling, then he looks to his side and find you slumped agaisnt his shoulder, glass nearly slipping out of your grasp, face nuzzled into his military coat. He'll either pick you up bridal style and carry you to be, or lay you both down onto the sofa to cuddle. It's nice while it lasts, because as soon as you wake up, you have a pounding headache and it takes you ten minutes to figure out where you are. Meanwhile, your knight in shiny armour has no signs of a hangover thanks to his immortality voodoo. But hey atleast he gives you the morning off.

hi! I've been really into doctor who lately, but I can't find many headcanons on tumblr!! if you have time or are interested, can you do headcanons of 9,10, and 11 having a crush on the reader? (or if you'd rather only do one, that's fine too!)
a/n hey! i absolutely love this idea... so let's do it!! i'm going to do this with our wonderful time lords 9 and 10.

Pairing: 9/10th Doctor x GN!Reader Fandom: Doctor Who Genre: headcannons, fluff Word Count: 708 Warnings: Nothing really... Obliviousness? Denial?
9th Doctor
he would never admit it, but he notices these little things about you.
your laugh... how the corners of your eyes crinkle and your head tilts back when something amuses you. he notices that when whatever you're laughing at is funny enough, your laugh turns into a bit of a wheeze. he can tell you're embarrassed by it, but he thinks its cute adorable nice.
he notices what your favourite colour is, and when he gets you a big box full of stuff that is your favourite colour he feels a smile stretch over his face when you grin. when you ask how he knew your favourite colour, he lied and said that the TARDIS told him (to which the TARDIS hummed in disagreement).
he notices what your favourite food is. he even takes you to the past/future to let you try all the different variations of your favourite foods.
he calls you "fantastic" a lot (Rose and Jack definitely notice)
he sees how close you are with Rose and Jack, but although he doesn't mind Rose, Jack notices how the time-lord's eyes get just a bit darker and a frown is etched on his face whenever he sees you with the 'handsome' ex-time-agent.
he never tells you any of this, though, because he doesn't know how he feels. the time war is still too fresh in his mind for him to come to terms with his emotions.
if you are there when he regenerates (which of course you are) he'll tell you that you were "bloody fantastic" one last time before the golden glow covers his body.
10th Doctor
this version of the time lord is different... you're not complaining though.
he rambles and rambles on about the planets, stars, and the galaxy and tells you about all the places he is going to take you (all the companions tell you he's just trying to impress you, but you wave them off, telling them he's just being his regular time lord self)
he can't help but smile when you smile, laugh when you laugh, and he has to fight of his tears when he sees you cry.
when you both lose Rose, he really does cry with you. he holds you tighter than ever and vows to never let the terrors of the universe reach you.
when you both meet Martha, the Doctor notices how you and her get along almost as well as you did with Rose. he happily takes the med-student along with you on your new adventures
he's beyond terrified when he gets possessed by the sun, thinking that he's going to hurt you (or worse, kill you) and there would be nothing he could do to stop himself. when you and martha save him, he contemplates taking you home, where you'd be safe from all the dangers of travelling with him, but you tell him that you're going to stay with him forever. he's stuck with you now (and he's not complaining at all)
when he turns into john smith, he falls in love with you instead of the matron. when the family of blood is defeated and he turns back into his old self, he hates that he can't bring himself to tell you that those three months, a mere fraction in his time lord life, was the best that he had ever lived.
after a year without you and the torture of being with the Master, the Doctor realises how short his time with you might be. when he sees his old friend, the Master, dying in his arms, he knows that he'd never forgive himself if he let anything happen to you
he finally tells you that he loves you
happily, he takes you out to romantic locations across the galaxy, picnics on New Earth, watching outer-space operas, and even just sitting on beaches on a planet where the ocean glows with pink and purple hues. he loves doing what you love
when Donna comes along, the Doctor and you both find her to be an amazing friend, and when you both meet a strange woman named River Song at the Library, she grins knowingly, knowing what the future had in store for the both of you.

5 times the Doctor loved you, and one time he actually did something about it
tenth doctor x GN!reader
Summary: as it says on the tin!
1.
The Doctor slammed the door behind you, the booming footsteps of the Cybermen closing in.
“What’s the plan?” You asked, slightly breathless from running.
The Doctor didn’t know what to say. He didn’t have a plan. He couldn’t think of a single way out of this situation.
He had told you traveling with him was dangerous, but you always insisted on coming. The only thing he could do was promise to keep you safe. To keep you alive, no matter the cost.
As the footsteps neared, he began to fear he couldn’t keep his promise.
“Doctor?”
He hoped his eyes didn’t show the panic he was feeling inside.
“Do we have a plan?”
He shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut. A small part of him hoped it might shut everything out.
The Cybermen neared your hideout, their metal fists banging on the wooden doors. Between the thick wood and the metal lock, the two of you had minutes at best.
“The Cybermen are all connected through a network, correct?”
The Doctor opened his eyes, looking at you in confusion.
“And if I can get into that network…” you scanned the room quickly, your eyes instantly settling on a computer.
“It’ll be practically impossible,” the Doctor argued.
“They could have it under lock and key, and there would still be a way to break into it.” You smiled. “You just have to know what you’re doing.”
The Doctor watched in awe as your fingers danced across the keyboard, typing endless strings of characters that he couldn’t understand.
“See, I already hacked into the database,” you leaned closer to the computer, absentmindedly chewing on your bottom lip. The Doctor tried not to let his eyes linger on your lips too much.
“I just need to hack into the executive level.” You turned to look at the Doctor.
He couldn’t think what you would need him for. You knew how computers worked, he didn’t really.
Silently, you held out your hand.
Confused, the Doctor took it. He wasn’t complaining. Your hands were soft and warm. He’d make any excuse to hold them.
You laughed, the sound like music to his ears.
“No, silly.”
The Doctor blushed, but he didn’t remove his hand from yours.
“I need the sonic,” you explained.
Embarrassed, he slid the object into your hands.
You handled the sonic with expertise. The Doctor didn’t think you had been listening all of those times he rambled on about the machine.
Sure enough, you flicked to the correct settings in a matter of seconds. Using it appeared to be second nature to you.
“Done!” You clapped your hands excitedly. Sure enough, the commotion outside the door halted, silence settling between the two of you.
The Doctor’s eyes darted between the door and you, trying to process what had just happened.
Once he did, he wasted no time scooping you into his arms.
You laughed and wrapped your arms around his neck happily.
The Doctor was practically buzzing with joy. He swung you gently from side to side as he hugged you, your feet dangling from the ground.
He didn’t want to let you go.
“Brilliant!” He grinned, “You’re brilliant!”
He pulled back slightly, planting a firm kiss on your forehead.
In the end, you didn’t need him to save you. You could more than do that yourself.
2.
The Doctor was plagued with thoughts. Endless, troublesome thoughts swirled about his head.
Almost nothing was certain. Except for one truth the Doctor held close to his heart. At the end of the day, it was just him.
The last of the Time Lords. Floating through time and space, alone.
Always alone.
In his head, it was only a matter of time before you left. No one ever really stayed. Be it sickness, life, love, or fear, his companions always left him.
He raked his hands across his face, hoping the action could silence the incessant chatter in his head.
Truthfully, he didn’t have the strength to fight it off today. Why even bother?
You bounded into the control room, a smile plastered across your face. You had a way of bringing light into any room. Most days, it was impossible for the Doctor to be upset in your presence. Today it was just too much for the alien to handle on his own.
He tried to hide his hurt, plastering a sad smile on his own face.
“What’s wrong?” You asked, catching on instantly.
“I’m fine,” he lied.
You frowned, not falling for his lie.
His hands clutched the console, his knuckles white from the force. Gently, you ghosted your fingers across his hand. Convinced he wasn’t going to run away, you placed your hands over his. Almost instantly they eased up, suddenly aware of the force in which he was clutching the console.
“What’s going on up there?” you asked, your gentle hands moving to cup his face. You gave his head a light wiggle, the action causing the corners of the Doctor’s mouth to curve upwards.
“How long are you going to stay with me?” He whispered, almost too scared to say the words aloud.
You furrowed your brows, not out of anger, but rather confusion.
“I’m not going anywhere.” You smiled, your thumbs rubbing circles against his cheeks softly.
The Doctor didn’t really believe you. They never wanted to leave, until they did. Perhaps you were happy at the moment, but that wasn’t going to last.
He forced himself to pull away from your grip. The sooner he let you go, the less it was going to hurt. At least, that’s what he told himself.
“Doctor?”
You grabbed the sleeve of his coat, tugging lightly. The Doctor closed his eyes, trying to demonstrate some level of self-restraint. You weren’t making it easy.
Without warning, you wrapped your arms firmly around the man. Your grip was unwavering, your hands clutching at his clothes desperately.
The Doctor was taken aback at first, unsure what to do. Eventually, he relaxed into the hug. Giving in, he allowed his arms to wrap around you, pulling you closer to him. If he had it his way, he would stay like this forever.
“I don’t ever want to leave,” you gasped, your breath hot against his neck. You buried your face in his shoulder, attempting to get as close as possible.
For a second, the Doctor allowed himself to think that you might feel even a fraction of the way he felt about you.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” you beamed, pulling back to look at the Doctor.
Your eyes were mesmerizing up close. Their color glistened in the TARDIS light, and he found it impossible to look away.
“You can’t get rid of me that easy, Spaceman,” you laughed.
3.
“The name’s Captain Jack Harkness,” The dashing man in front of you smiled, holding out his hand confidently.
You took it warily, exchanging your own name awkwardly. You didn’t exactly share the Captain’s confidence. His smile clearly had you flabbergasted, a scarlet flush creeping onto your cheeks.
He flashed you an overly cocky grin, his hold on your hand unwavering.
“Stop it,” the Doctor growled from behind you.
“I’m just saying hello,” Jack said innocently, practically batting his eyelashes.
“It’s never just hello with you,” the Doctor continued groaning. He was used to Jack’s antics, the man flirted with anything that moved. He usually had no issue with it. That was, until the flirting was directed at you.
“I don’t mind,” you grinned, looking up at the Captain sheepishly. You seemed to get lost in his eyes. From the Doctor’s point of view, you practically had heart eyes bursting from your head.
Jack smiled back, charming as ever. His eyes traveled across your face, taking in each and every feature.
“You’re gorgeous,” he whispered.
You let out a nervous giggle, clearly taken aback by the compliment. Had the Doctor never called you that before? He was almost certain he had. You had never reacted that way when he did.
“T-thank you,” you stammered. It was clear to just about anyone that you were interested in the Captain. Between the way you looked at him and the bright red of your face, you were practically screaming it.
It drove the Doctor crazy. He couldn’t express how badly he wanted you to look at him like that. Yet here you were, ogling over none other than Captain Jack Harkness.
“Do you want to grab coffee?” Jack asked, his words pulling the Doctor from his thoughts.
The Doctor had to suppress a scoff. Of course, the captain was asking you out at a time like this. The world could be crumbling and he would shag the nearest complying individual.
The Doctor didn’t want to think about you and Jack together. In fact, he didn’t like to think about you with anyone but him. Maybe it was selfish, but a small part of him wanted you all to himself.
He didn’t stick around to hear your answer. It would only break his heart more to hear you say yes.
Unfortunately, the Doctor didn’t know that you never said yes to the Captain. If he had stuck around, he would have found that out.
4.
Rage.
That was the only thing coursing through the Doctor’s mind as he pointed the gun at the woman in front of him. Pure, unbridled rage.
His hands shook as he cocked the gun, fully preparing himself to pull the trigger. He could do it. He had every means to take the woman’s life.
“Doctor?”
He didn’t need to move his gaze to know you were by his side. He could feel the gentle pull of your fingers on his coat.
“Go back to the TARDIS,” he growled.
“Doctor,” you repeated, hurt riddling your voice.
He couldn’t bring himself to lower the gun, but at the same time, he couldn’t fire it either.
The woman before him was an awful person. She had killed hundreds and didn't even feel a shred of remorse. Even further, he had killed your friend. He should kill her. You should want him to. But you didn't.
“Doctor.” Your hand crept towards his.
He shook his head. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry. But instead, he just stood there.
“She doesn't deserve this,” you pleaded, your hand closing around his own.
“Yes she does,” he said, shakily. He wasn’t sure if he fully believed himself.
“If you kill her, are you any better than her?” You asked, guiding the hand holding the gun away from the woman.
The Doctor didn’t stop you, but he didn’t agree either. His eyes remained trained on the woman at his feet.
You eased the gun from his hand and disarmed it before throwing it across the room.
You took his face in your hands gently, pulling his gaze towards you.
“You are better than this,” you reminded him.
The Doctor was fighting back tears. It was all he could do to shake his head no.
“Yes, you are,” you reiterated, resting your forehead against his.
5.
The TARDIS was cold. Realistically, it was the Doctor’s fault for breaking the heater. In his defense, he didn’t intend to.
It wasn’t an issue for the Time Lord, temperature wasn’t really an issue for him. He could wear a suit in the desert or shorts in the winter, it didn’t really matter.
You, however, were obviously cold.
“Are you going to fix the heating?” you asked, clutching your arms for warmth.
It wasn’t that he wanted you to suffer. Quite the contrary. He couldn’t figure out how to fix the heater. He just didn’t want to admit it.
“If you go up the stairs and to the left, you’ll find yourself in the TARDIS closet,” he explained.
“I hardly think an 18th-century dress that smells of mothballs is going to fix the heating.”
The Doctor chuckled.
“No, but there are sweaters and other normal clothes in there.”
While you went searching for something warm, the Doctor continued his banging under the TARDIS console. It shouldn’t be this hard to figure out.
He sat cross-legged on the floor, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He ducked his head downwards so he could read the book that lay open on the floor.
“How to fix your spaceship at home!” wasn’t much help at the moment. He slammed the book shut and resumed his pointless banging. He was probably doing more harm than good, but he figured if he hit enough stuff the ship would fix itself.
The TARDIS groaned in protest.
“I think this will work,” you interrupted, walking back into the control room.
You were rolling the sleeves of a green sweater up so you could use your hands.
His green sweater.
“It doesn’t smell like mothballs!” You jested.
The Doctor turned his gaze away from you, hoping you wouldn’t notice the bright red color creeping into his cheeks.
“It actually smells a bit like leather and sweets,” you continued, smelling the sleeve.
“That used to be mine.”
“Yours?” You asked, almost as if you were shocked.
“Well, it didn’t belong to this face,” he shrugged.
“But it was yours.”
“Yeah.” The red was taking over his face now. There was no way you hadn’t noticed.
“You can have it back,” you said, interpreting his silence for displeasure.
“No! I don’t wear stuff like that anymore. You can have it,” he rambled, scratching the back of his head anxiously. He wanted to say so many other things. How you looked infinitely better in it than he ever did and how happy it made him to see you in his sweater.
“Thank you!” you grinned before bounding back down the hallway.
The Doctor smiled to himself. He’d completely forgotten about the heating. All he could think about was how much he liked you in his clothes.
The one time he did something about it.
You threw the doors of the TARDIS open, rushing into the open field.
“It’s beautiful!” You laughed as you danced through the tall sapphire grass. You stopped to examine every strange and new plant littered throughout the meadow, encountering each with a new kind of enthusiasm.
The biome in front of him could be the most magnificent thing ever, and he would still be looking at you. Especially when you were this happy.
You bounced around the meadow, picking up flowers you liked as the Doctor followed behind you.
You rambled on about your day happily as you moved about. You were more than content to just be in the Doctor’s company without an imminent threat looming over you.
He stopped your ramblings suddenly with an utterance of your name.
“Yes?” You asked, wide-eyed.
“I love you,” he whispered. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Wide-eyed, you blinked at him.
“Please say something,” he said, pained.
You remained silent, still processing the Time Lord’s words.
The Doctor began to panic. Thoughts tumbled about his head, doubt seeping into his mind.
Then, without warning, you dropped your flowers and threw yourself into the Doctor’s arms.
He fell over from the force, landing in the cushion of the plush foliage.
“I’m sorry,” you laughed, a grin taking over your face.
“There’s nothing to be sorry for.”
The Doctor brushed a stay strand of hair from your face, tucking it gently behind your ear. Color flushed into your cheeks from the simple action.
His eyes darted between your eyes and your mouth, silently asking permission to kiss him. You nodded your head lightly, inviting him to do so.
Slowly, he brought his lips to yours. You smiled against his kiss, relishing in the warmth.
When he pulled away, you pulled him back. Plastering a series of kisses against his mouth, you demanded his attention.
This made the Doctor laugh, his arms snaking comfortably around your waist, truly securing you against himself.
You drifted from his lips to his cheek, planting one final kiss there.
“You love me!” you laughed, poking him playfully.
“I do,” He laughed, resting his hand against your cheek. You leaned into his touch, closing your eyes in tranquility.
“I love you too,” you whispered against his palm, your breath warm on his hand.
Truthfully, that was all the Doctor could have ever asked for.

Jack Harkness x reader - forever
Heyy!! Was wondering of you could write a vampire!reader x Jack Harkness?? Both are obviously immortal, etc?? Just something cutesy! X - Anon 💜
It had just been a coincidence that you met the flirty time traveller.
Because of your nature and what you were when humanity had managed to develop the technology to explore space they shipped you off to an isolated planet with no way to return.
You weren’t really sure how long you lived there for, but it was peaceful, a beautiful planet which at least had some wildlife on that you could feed off.
The only catch was you were the only creature there able to talk, communicate with yourself, and life had eventually grown lonely.
Though despite the loneliness you grew used to being on your own, you were content, not quite happy, but content, and that counted for something in a way.
You would sleep when it was too hot outside, hunt once or twice a month, but mostly you just created things.
All sorts.
Wooden carvings from the beautiful blue and purple trees, leaned how to create tools and chisel stone into beautiful statues, create artwork that could be compared to the universes beauty.
You had all the time in the universe, literally.
After having spent so much time on your own when there was a new scent on your planet you noticed immediately, the small draft sending the familiar of scent of a human your way.
Though there was a hint of something else, something that wasn’t quite fully human in this person.
From the shadows, hidden away you watched him, studying him.
He seemed human enough from what you could remember them looking like, but his scent just wasn’t quite right.
Though humans did have slightly different scents there was something about his that didn’t sit within the normal range.
For a while you just watched him look around, following him as he stumbled across some of the things you had created, he seemed captivated and curious.
He was mumbling to himself about this planet being abandoned and empty, trying to figure out how his teleporter had landed him here and that he wasn’t picking up any life sighed aside from the animals that lived here.
You were curious and in two minds about what to do.
On one hand you could feed on him, get the best meal you’ve hand in probably centuries.
On the other you could keep watching him, maybe introduce yourself, it had been a while since you’d actually had a conversation with someone, and you missed that.
After a short while just followed him you decided to reveal yourself to him, and if things went down hill then you’d turn him into your next meal.
While the man was stood studying one of your creations you silently padded out of the shadows and stood next to him.
You could see his gaze flick to you slightly startled before he looked fully at you.
He studied you for a moment before a flirty grin appeared on his face.
“Well hello.” He grinned holding out his hand, “Captain Jack Harkness at your service.”
You studied him for a moment before placing your hand in his.
“(Y/N).”
Jack grind a little more, bringing your hand to his lips to place a gentle kiss to your knuckles.
“What’s a beautiful being like you doing on an isolated planet like this?” He asks.
You didn’t reply, but from the little spark in his eye something told you he recognised your name, or maybe he had heard myths about you, assuming he’d been to the right time frame.
The creature that is doomed to be alone forever.
Jack grins a little more at you.
“I know about you.” He states.
“What do you know?”
He grins a little more stepping to stand beside you to look at one of the statues you had made.
“I know you were the only one of your kind, nobody knows how you came to be, that you lived a wonderful life when you were still human.”
You glanced at Jack, noticing his smile was gone, his face now resembling a sort of sad look.
“I also know you were forced to leave your home, sent to live here until the end of the universe by yourself with nobody to keep you company.”
You looked back to the statue.
“Such is the life as a monster like me.”
“I don’t think that’s true.”
Jack turned to face you, stepping in front of you.
“You’re not a monster, not from what I’ve heard, and looking at you now you certainly don’t seem like one to me.”
Jack held out a small device.
“It’s my teleporter, it broke when I accidentally landed here. You seem like maybe you’ll have the stuff to fix it?”
Carefully taking the little device you study it for a moment, turning it around in your hands, looking at every aspect of it that you could see.
Some parts were visibly damaged, but you did have scrap metal laying around that sometimes crashed into the surface of your planet.
“I think I may have the right things.”
Jack grinned brightly.
“Perfect! I don’t suppose you’d mind helping out a handsome captain?” He asked.
This made you crack a small smile, the first smile in centuries.
“I suppose I have time in my rather busy schedule.”
Jack laughed as he followed behind you to your cabin.
He admired how beautiful it was, the dedication you had put into your home, your craft.
For a week or two he stayed with you, you two talked while you slowly worked at helping fix the device, while you took breaks your showed him around, or showed him your creations.
Jack was amazed about everything you did, such skill and beauty.
Eventually you had managed to fix his device and handed it over for him.
He put it back on his wrist and looked at you, holding his hand out.
“Come with me.”
This confused you slightly.
Jack saw your confusion and walked over to you, taking your hand into his, holding it gently.
“Come with me, you’ll never have to be alone again I promise, we’ll be together, you’ll never be stuck here again, and you’ll never have to be alone again.”
You stayed quiet for a moment, looking around the planet you had called home for so long before you smile softly and nodded your head.
“Okay…”
Jack grinned brightly, holding you hand in his as he got the device ready to leave the planet.
Forever, that’s how long you two were going to travel together, two immortals

hai!! may I pretty please request jack x gn!reader where reader is like very lovey dovey? like they always say I love you and like holding his hand or clinging to his arm and kiss him whenever they can? and maybe someone points it out, and reader gets nervous, but Jack comforts them? ^-^
☆ — jack harkness with a lovey dovey partner

✧ masterlist — navigation
✧ carmillas notes — holy fuck im hyperfixated on this show. ALSO this is meant to be like jack in season 3-4 of doctor who so when he’s in torchwood but it’s mainly written as dw jack
✧ warnings — like one curse word
first of all, jack would LOVEEE having a lovey partner because he’s very loving himself
even though he can be kinda freaky all the time, he still makes sure to show regular affection through words of affirmation and physical touch
(he’s lost a lot of people so he likes to remind himself you’re still there through physical touch)
no matter where or when you are, that man is with you at every possible moment and will 100% let you cling to him for whatever reason
if you told him you loved him he’d genuinely get so happy he’d have to take a five second break so he doesn’t explode
his happiness is quickly replaced by sadness as he knows that he can’t be with you forever and will eventually lose you as well
pleaseee hold his hand. please. he will not be letting go of it for hours after unless he really has to but please hold his hand. he’ll definitely be teasing you for it however
also would not mind randomly being kissed. he’s also a spontaneous kisser and will 100% make out with you on the spot if you asked him
now, if someone were to say anything about how lovey his partner can be he wouldn’t think much of it at first
lowkey he’d probably laugh but then be like “sounds like your jealous”
once he realizes it may have actually upset his partner he’s like shit and will make sure they’re alright before he talks to the other person
while it may not be a big deal to him, he understands why it could be to his partner and makes sure they’re okay almost immediately
he’s very calm when talking to the other person about saying things like that, but he’s not extremely angry
jack seems like he’d also be very affectionate, type of guy to drag you off for a private walk in the middle of the day
would also just do some things for you without asking, like some work you never finished or bringing you things he thought you mind need or want
he’s also very lovey, and he’s perfectly fine with everyone knowing he is

The lack of Torchwood x reader fanfics is actually making me sad. IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE FICS ABOUT THE TORCHWOOD GANG?! 🥲

This is fascinating and I want to share my thoughts AKA type them down to make sense of what I am even thinking…
Because there is a lot A LOT going on there. I don’t know who will ever read my thoughts, so here’s a quick “what Torchwood means to me” PSA of who I am. In short: Torchwood was (in a way will always be) my life. You know, I was (am) one of the tumblr girlies (genderneutral) from it’s golden fandom era and as every tumblr teen from that time I was struggling with my life, mental health, school, social life, you know it. And fandoms and the tumblr community became a home to me and over Doctor Who I found myself to Torchwood. I fell in love instantly with this wild, messy, very queer and very weird late 2000s show. I came for Jack and stayed for, well, them all. And then there didn’t exist any other show for me for quite some time. It was a everything to me. And I definitely need to mention Jack and Torchwood as one of those fictional characters/ shows that I hyperfixated on in very difficult times in my life and who helped me through them by imagining them loving me, on my side and giving me everything I didn’t get in the real world. With that being said, over the years I developed some headcanons of my own for Jack and how he does dating, whoring around, sexuality and love…
First of all, I was too busy shipping Jack with myself that I never really got emotionally involved in any Jack involved fandom ships, but I was also never against them. That’s the beautiful thing about fandoms and fictional characters, you can make them into anything you need from them without hurting anyone. The funny thing is I was just talking with my sister the other day about how canon it is what an actor says about their character.
Anyways, I was honestly very surprised that JB (1) has such a surprisingly limited perception of Jack’s ability to be faithful to a chosen partner (at least for a limited amount of time) and his whole sexuality. What JB describes (according to the post) is just a very bland person who lets their sexual urges control them while being unable to have a meaningful, honest and well communicated relationship. For me that is not Jack as in immortal omnisexual person who flirts with everyone and everything in sight out of pure adoration (kindness and awe) for the people around him. Jack is kind and you probably know this famous post about him?

This sums it up pretty well. He is no heartless, careless guy who can’t control his dick. (And this is what I mean, when I say I will always love him and defend him) It is true that he sleeps around, flirts and is generally quick to leave. Jack definitely has many, many, many partners over the years and sometimes I think that I would like to write a soulmate AU for him to explore what this means in his world (spoiler: there are so many soulmates!!!). Jack is definitely not the best candidate for “and they rode into the sunset and lived happily ever after together as a couple until they died” but that’s a part of the fascination of his character, at least for me.
So, (2) I am also surprised that JB apparently downplays Ianto’s role into a sex toy???? A guy to mess around with and with no connection, no truth, no love to the relationship? At least that’s what I am getting from the paraphrasing from the alleged JB comment. I really would have expected something different from him.
With this being said, I also don’t like the way he pulls Gwen into all of this. First of all, I love the poetry which JB uses to describe the feelings that Jack has for Gwen (“the woman he loved more than a sister, a lover, a friend, more than his life now and for ever”). I am a sucker for love based relationships that are purely emotional and exist outside of our social wordly views on love. Just give my demi/grey-sexual ass the joy of a love that just is .
But all of this is lead ad absurdum when he’s just like “Oh well, Gwen wouldn’t put up with Jack being a dick, so they aren’t dating :)” This takes away from the momentum of this kind of “whimsical love” that he tries to cultivate. Again, this makes Jack into a giant asshole, Ianto spineless and just a toy and Gwen a random woman, who doesn’t really has any meaning in Jack’s life. Maybe I am mistaken, maybe nothing of what I’ve written makes any sense but to me it feels illogical and way too shallow and unauthentic to the characters.
I really hope that someone found my thoughts interesting enough to read, if not, well, then I had a nice trip down the memory lane into my Torchwood days and to sum it up: I think it’s bulllshit, if JB really said that, that would be OOC behaviour for the characters!
what did jb used to say about janto? (re eye candy post)
disclaimer: my only source is a forum post i've long lost the link of, which didn't have a video or such proof attached to it to begin with.
because JB's opinions Gwack are very VERY known and proven though (*gestures to Exodus Code* ["the woman he loved more than a sister, a lover, a friend, more than his life now and for ever"]), i'm kind of inclined to believe the person's account of a certain statement (theory? opinion?) of his.
that opinion, let's call it that, referred to the question of why Jack is dating Ianto and not Gwen. he apparently said that that is so because Ianto doesn't confront him when he sleeps around (= cheats), but simply bears it, while Gwen would put her foot down and not allow Jack this.
so according to JB, apparently, Jack is incapable of monogamy, and therefore only dates ppl who won't complain about that - whether they're actually okay with it or not. and obviously he would date Gwen given the choice, but his sexual freedom is even more important to him than that so he picks the pushover Ianto as second best.
yeah. if that's real..... he's fucking lucky there's no video proof of him saying that recorded anywhere.
