[sonofdoodleboard]

Here's a tier list, I've done for the Classic Doctor Who companions, (No I won't be doing companions from NuWho or DisneyWho)

[redeemed-wren]

If the characters in your current WIP could freeze time for a day, what would they do with that time?

Currently I am working on a Doctor Who fanfic focused on Jo Grant so I shall use her.

And tbf if she discovered she had that power she'd very like Just Another Tuesday. and probably go talk to the Doctor about it.

My secondary main character in this particular fic is Sargent Benton and if he and Jo got together I think they'd have a splendid day away from the rest of UNIT eating cheese and toast and gossiping.

Jo pressed up against the wall, leaning her head back and shutting her eyes. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her breathing enough to listen. 

She slid down the wall, beaths settling a little, and steadied herself with a hand on the rough gravel of the ground outside UNIT headquarters. Two more deep breaths and she had steadied her breathing enough to be able to listen for the sound of boots coming after her. 

She’d managed to make it outside, that was something. But she couldn’t leave, no without the Doctor. Not without figuring out what was going on. 

She gave herself a few more moments to fully settle her breathing then carefully stood up again. She peered around the corner, then ducked back immediately at the sight of uniformed men moving into the courtyard. 

A shaky breath involuntarily escaped her mouth, cut off before it turned into a squeak. They all had guns as well--of course they did, this was UNIT. She just wasn’t used to those weapons being a threat to her. 

But her quick glimpse had allowed her to get a view of Bessie, and the sight of the car was enough for her to develop a quick plan around. If she could make it to Bessie, she could try to go for help--the Brigadier due back from London soon, and if anyone could bring order to whatever was going on, it’d be him. 

There were a number of flaws in this plan, the most obvious being Bessie was on the complete other side of the courtyard, and there was about half of the active UNIT troops between her and the car. The other flaw was that she’d never actually driven the car. 

How hard could it be though? One problem at a time. 

She was loath to abandon the Doctor, especially without knowing what exactly they were going to do with him. But she had been so efficiently driven outside, she wasn’t sure she’d be able to even get inside again, let along anywhere near wherever the Doctor was being held. And as much as she was willing to attempt it, finding the Brigadier would be more helpful in the long run. 

The plan had been formed in only a few seconds, and now she had to figure out how to cross the courtyard. She risked another glance around the corner and saw that the men between her and the car had diminished to only three, scanning the area. She could slip past three. 

She knew the layout of the courtyard enough to know that there was a space between this building and the next she could duck into. With another glance to make sure no one was looking her way, she took a deep breath and ran out.

She almost made it. She was just a few paces away from ducking into the shadow of the building when a gunshot exploded behind her and she felt the wall beside her explode with a spray of brick. She yelped, running faster, ducking low, heart pounding. 

Her feet skidded on the gravel and she almost lost her balance as she ducked into the cover between the two buildings, glancing behind her as she did. Three UNIT soldiers were rushing towards her, holding their guns, shouting to each other. 

She slammed into someone, almost knocked off balance but whoever it was caught her. She tried to tug away but she was pulled quickly into a door, tucked away behind the building.

“Jo!” a familiar voice hissed and she hesitated in her struggles enough to see Sargent Benton, a hand still holding arm. He had lost his hat and had blood running down one side of his face, but Jo had never been more glad to see him. 

“Sargent,” she cried. For a moment, they studied each other warily. Jo wasn’t sure what she would do if Benton started trying to capture or kill her or whatever it was everyone else was doing. 

Then bootsteps sounded from outside and Benton pressed himself up against the wall and Jo flung herself into his side, burying her face in his shoulder. He wrapped an arm around her and for a moment, they just stood there. She could hear his heart, under his uniform, beating rapidly. 

Muted conversations came from outside, and then she heard the men disperse again. Letting out a deep breath, she pulled away from Benton. 

“You alright, Miss Grant?” he asked. She nodded, feeling suddenly breathless.

“Am I glad to see you,” she said. “What’s happening?” 

“The boys brought in some alien thing, this morning,” Benton said, keeping his voice low. “I was storing it when it went off, exploded or something. Woke up and everything had gone mad.” 

Jo nodded, wrapping her arms around herself. She’d been with the Doctor in the lab when the whole building had shook. 

“Are you alright?” she asked, reaching a hand up to touch the blood on his forehead. He blinked, seeming surprised that the wound was even there. 

“Oh, just a scratch really,” he said dismissively. “Where’s the Doctor?”

Jo looked down, the concern and fear she’d been trying not to think too hard about raring its head. 

“I’m not sure,” she said. “Benton, they came right for him.” It had only been a few minutes after the earthquake before soldiers had marched into the lab and placed the Doctor under arrest. Though that was a mild way of putting it. He managed to draw their attention enough for her to slip out but-- “I don’t know where they took him.” 

“Okay,” Benton said. “Look, Miss Grant, you find somewhere out of the way to stay hidden. I’ll try find the Doctor and a way to get in contact with the Brigadier-” Jo was already shaking her head adamantly. 

“No way,” she said. “I’m not leaving you out here alone. Besides, I doubt there is anywhere that’s safe.” 

He didn’t like it, but Jo knew he wasn’t going to put up much of a fight. He’d also not let her out of his sight, but she found she didn’t mind that very much. 

Sure enough, he let out a sigh and nodded. 

“Alright. But stay close.” 

Together the two of them sneaked carefully through the UNIT headquarters.  ___

do NOT ask me what is going on i don't know its probably the Master i just liked the idea of Jo and Benton having to sneak around UNIT base. Similar to another story i've played around with but that one included cybermen

[ilovemedia]

Doctor who charetars who i think are in a queer platonic relationship as someone who is in one:

. Jamie Mcrimmon and the 2nd doctor

. Sarah Jane Smith and the doctor (basically cannon)

. Jo Grant and the third doctor

. The 4th doctor and romona (1 and 2)

. 10th doctor and donna noble

. 12 doctor and clara

. Mike Yates and sargent Benton

. Everyone at unit actually

(Lol like all of theses are with the doctor, feel free to share your own qpt headcannone)

[ronaldparlato]

There was no way to bring Aurelia's particular sensibilities to her work. If she stayed, it would have to be the same algorithmic prescriptions, the same angry, prepared responses, the same reflexive hatreds and preferences. There was clearly no room for art or God in the progressive canon, and the best place for her was on her own.

[themadgirlinthefandombox]

I have... many ideas and no way to write them and no friends to really share them with so I’m gonna throw them into a text post.

1- Jessie’s Girl AU

Benton And Jo become a thing (because sunshine plus sunshine) and Mike isn’t sure how to feel about it, or who he’s even wants more. The Brig definitely has some awareness of the thing and is the only one who sees the poly resolution a mile away.

(This is one part inspired by the song but also a fuck you to the end of Magician’s Oath because Yates doesn’t deserve to be alone)

2- Benton as a dad

I have no real foundation or ship preference with this (Although I did get his companion chronicle and he’s so cute over Margery), just Benton as the bestest dad. I like to imagine his first is a little girl and he’s so happy and so proud, what a good lad. And if he’s not with Yates/Yates is a part of a poly thing then he’s the weird uncle.

[daily-doctor-who-picture]

The Third Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sergeant Benton and Captain Yates.

[grandadtwelve]

the brigadier getting bossy with benton and then immediately smiling when benton does what he’s told…… homosexuality

[maniacsmaniacalart]

LOOK MA! I ACTUALY DREW SOMETHING THAT I CAN POST FOR ONCE! And it’s a cute little Benton! Look at how cute. Don't even ask how long this took to draw.

In other news, I may have sold my soul to Nintendo to get Flipnote Studio?

[doctorvendetta]

It was probably round about then that Benton decided to quit UNIT and become a used car salesman, because nothing in his military career is gonna top this...

LOOK HOW PLEASED BENTON IS OVER HIS MAP FULL OF LOCATIONS OF DINOSAURS. HE’S LIKE HE’S A LITTLE BOY AGAIN LIVING HIS CHILDHOOD DREAM OF FIGHTING DINOSAURS.

[doccywhomst]

how do i understand the time skips and the timeline of events happen in dcotor who i can't it's too much 😩

yes i am including the spin-offs, that one doctor who movie about sargent benton, the faction paradox, etc.

so many

A New Adventure (Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart x Reader)

gif belongs to billdecker

You had met him during the Great Intelligence’s invasion of London, and your flirtatious behavior baffled him at first, but when he realized that telling you to remain serious was pointless, he responded much to everyone’s amusement. You were an intriguing person. You always asked his squad or the Colonel questions about himself, but when the roles were reversed, you would dismiss it with a smile and say, “Guess you’ll just have to find out on your own.”

Three things were made clear to the Colonel when you met. One, you were traveling with the Doctor long before he met Jamie. Two, the Doctor was very protective of you, keeping you by his side by looping your arm with his. Three, you were a smart woman from fifty years ahead of his time, and the Doctor would converse with you in a corner to discuss different ideas on how to face a threat. You weren’t as smart as Zoe, but he trusted your instincts. And in the end, he never regretted following them.

When you arrived on Earth to fix the Tardis, soon becoming tangled in a Cybermen invasion, you contacted the newly appointed Brigadier in a way that would embarrass him but also remind him of who you were. As if he could forget.

He was working on finding information on International Electromatics when you intercepted the squad’s communication.

“Greyhound Leader.” Your voice came through the radio. “Personally, I prefer Colonel Sexy.”

The Brigadier turned in his chair, noticing Yates grinning at the sound of your voice but not stating it to stop him like he usually would. “What the devil are you doing on our radio?” He asked.

“Aw, and here I thought you’d be happy to hear from me. You must be Colonel Grumpy today.” You said teasingly.

Yates chuckled, and the Brigadier silenced him with a stern look.

“Why are you on UNITs radio?” He asked.

“I need your help.” You told him.

“Where are you?” He asked, sitting straighter.

“International Electromatics has a countryside base, and we’re trapped here. There are security guards everywhere. I thought you were looking for a way to see me again when you called the Doctor, but I think you’re right. Something is fishy here.” You said.

He would have smiled if he wasn’t worried about you. “Stay put. I’m on my way.”

“You’re so bossy. I like it.”

At this, Yates had to bite his hand to stop the burst of laughter escaping his mouth, and the Brigadier smiled as he spoke into the microphone. “Behave.”

“I always behave.”

He shook his head with a smile, walking to grab his hat from the coat rack, putting it on as he gave Yates orders to assemble a squad to join him at the base.

You ran towards the helicopter, and quickly helped Zoe to her feet when she fell. You squealed when you heard security shooting at you and climbed into the helicopter after Zoe, tripping over her leg while she sat down and landing on the Brigadier’s lap. “Hello, again.” You spoke up over the gunfire, Benton, and Yates retaliating against the guards.

“Hello, Miss L/N.”

“Call me F/N.” You grinned, moving to sit between him and Yates.

“I missed you,” Yates told you.

“Of course you did, dear, don’t be silly.” You patted his arm and he chuckled, clearing his throat at the look the Brigadier sent him.

“Oh, Y/N, stop flirting for one second.” The Doctor chastised.

You playfully rolled your eyes, “Only if Alistair promises there will be plenty of time later.” You said, looking at the Brigadier.

“What happened to behaving?”

“This is me behaving.” You told him.

The Brigadier gave you a side glance but there was a smile on his lips.

When the helicopter arrived at UNIT, Benton and Yates climbed out first, then the Brigadier who offered you a helping hand. You smiled as you stood in front of him, regarding his new uniform. “Promotion looks good on you.”

“Thank you, Miss L/N.” He said just as Benton called him over to where he was standing talking to a soldier. He bowed his head towards you before walking over to them.

“I told you to call me Y/N!”

He looked back at you with a smile, and you giggled, quickly frowning when the Doctor cleared his throat.

“You never stop, do you?” Zoe smiled, approaching you with the Doctor and Jamie.

You pretended to think for a moment before shaking your head. “No.”

You followed the Doctor into UNIT and looped your arm with the Brigadier when he followed. “We better make sure he doesn’t get lost.”

“Does that happen often?” He asked.

“Oh, every day.” You sighed, making him chuckle.

“I imagine it must be a great privilege to travel in the Tardis.” He said, leading you to his office.

“Every morning, I wake up amongst the stars and can’t imagine a prettier sight. But the stars would look just as beautiful down here.” You walked into his office and helped Zoe with the tea she was carrying.

“Tea, Alistair?” You asked.

He raised an eyebrow at you, amazed by your audacity of calling him by his first name in front of his Sargent, but he was amused by the way you pushed boundaries.

“Yes, please. Thank you.” He went to sit behind his desk, answering the telephone when it rang.

You smiled over at him, and Zoe giggled, nudging you. “When is the wedding?” She asked.

“There is no wedding.” You told her, stirring the tea.

“Yet.” She giggled.

“Oh, shush!” You whispered hastily when the Brigadier approached you.

When you handed him his cup of tea, your fingers brushed against his, and you were thankful the Doctor gave you a reason to turn away, hiding your blushing cheeks as you handed him a handful of wires.

“Thank you.”

You bit your lip, and he scolded you for it. “Sorry.” You apologized. “Can we talk?”

“I’m assuming this about the Brigadier.” He said, draping wires over your neck.

You nodded, unfazed by his actions as he had done this multiple times before when you helped fix the Tardis. “I can’t get a read on him. I know I flirt with him a lot -”

The Doctor made a noise resembling, “Hmph, ” humored by your words. As if to comment, “You don’t say, ” which made you smile.

“Do you think he takes me seriously? Should I be blunt?” You asked.

The Doctor shook his head with a smile. “Trust me, he knows. The reason he has not been blunt as you put it is because he would be asking you to leave the Tardis.” He explained.

You frowned, looking at the Brigadier who was talking to Yates and Jamie. You looked at the Doctor when he spoke, “Do you want to leave the Tardis?”

“I never thought about it. Three years ago, I was so sure I was going to travel with you forever. But now I think another adventure is waiting for me. And I know that if it doesn’t work out in the end, I’ll never regret taking that leap.” You told him.

The Doctor nodded in understanding. “You would be greatly missed.”

“Oh, I don’t know. Zoe is pretty smart, more so than me. I’m sure you’ll not notice I’m gone that much.” You said.

“My dear, you are -”

“- cleverer than you know.” You finished with a smile. “Perhaps I am. All I know is that standing beside you, sure made me feel clever.”

“Doctor.” You looked at the Brigadier. “You may want to see this.”

You followed the Doctor to the Brigadier’s desk and tried to remove the wires from around your neck, the Brigadier aiding you when one wire got tangled in your hair. You blushed, smiling as you thanked him.

“Do you think once this is over and we survive the invasion, we could talk?” You asked. The Brigadier raised a curious brow but nodded in agreement.

“Brigadier.” The Doctor called, and you both moved to stand beside him. You looked at the Brigadier, who turned his head when he noticed your staring.

You were starting to wonder if you should have told him when you had the chance. This time you couldn’t help but despair knowing there was a chance you may not make it out of the factory again.

“Ready?” Jamie asked, turning to you.

You noticed that the Brigadier was giving out orders to Yates and the Doctor and Zoe were walking out the office.

You looked at the Brigader for a moment, whispering a tentative, “Yeah, of course.”

You ran down the hallway, hearing the loud footsteps behind you and you ducked into a stairwell, looking over your shoulder. The Cybermen were closing in, and you were running out of places to hide and energy. You ran up the stairs, holding the radio to your lips.

“Greyhound, it’s Y/N. They’re right behind me. Do you read me? Over.”

Alistair took the radio from Jamie, “Yes, I read you. Where are you? Over.”

You looked at the walls, seeing a large seven on the wall. “Stairwell seven. Over. Heading to eight now. Over.” You opened the door and screamed when you saw the two Cybermen on the other side. You turned, looking at the four that had been following you walking to the stairs. “I’m trapped. Over.” You climbed onto the railing and jumped up, grabbing onto the railing on the next flight of stairs and climbing over, running up the stairs.

“Y/N. We’re on our way. Where are you now? Over.”

“They’ve got me cornered. The only way is up. Over.” You told him.

Alistair stopped running and looked back before looking at Jamie, who was asking him why he stopped. “Y/N, I’m on my way. Keep running. Over.” He spoke into the radio.

“Don’t worry; there’s not much else I can do. Over.” You said.

You reached the roof and struggled to get the door open. You screamed in frustration and gasped when you saw the Cybermen were near. You shook the handle, trying to open the door, and quickly looked over your shoulder when you heard the thundering footsteps. Trying to search for inspiration for an idea that would get you out of this, you listened to the sound of a helicopter outside and smiled as you knew it was the Brigadier. You looked at the Cybermen and then at the door, a grin forming on your lips when you got an idea. You waited until the Cybermen reached out to grab you, ducking, so their hand hit the door, breaking the lock. You rushed out the door to the roof and raced towards the helicopter. The Cybermen shot at you, and you landed on the ground, rolling onto your feet. The pilot flew higher, and you heard Alistair arguing with him before he climbed out, holding onto the helicopter as the pilot tried to keep it steady.

“Grab my hand!”

You raced forward, jumping off the edge, and screamed, feeling a hand take yours and pull you up as the helicopter flew higher.

“I’ve got you!”

You looked at Alistair with a grin, “I never had a doubt!”

He smiled at you while the Doctor and Jamie helped you inside, and Alistair soon followed. You smiled when Jamie hugged you and looked at the Brigadier who was giving Yates and Benton new orders.

That’s when the Doctor knew, with that one look, that you would be leaving the Tardis.

You walked into the console room and ran a hand over the controls. “I’m going to miss you too.” You smiled when she hummed in reply.

You picked up your suitcase and walked toward the door, looking back at the time machine that had been your home for years. It was a big decision to leave, but you would regret not taking the opportunity to try a relationship with the Brigadier.

You closed the door and placed your hand on the wood. “Bye, girl. Who knows, we might see each other again.” You turned to the Brigadier, who was talking to Zoe, Jamie, and the Doctor, handing him your suitcase. “Right, make yourself useful and hold that, will you? Thank you, dear.” You turned to the Doctor, “And you, stop if you keep frowning like that, you’ll never be able to stop. I’m not dying.”

Zoe stepped forward to hug you, “Goodbye, Y/N.” She smiled.

“Bye, Zoe. And be careful. You know what these two are like.” You smiled before turning to Jamie. “You know it’s true.” You giggled when he lifted you, spinning you around.

“Things won’t be the same without you, Y/N.” He said.

“Oh, he’ll still find trouble. But you won’t have my fantastic personality, jaw-dropping looks to help you, no.” You giggled, hugging him again. “Be careful. And if he shuts you out for a while, call me and I’ll yell at him down the phone for you.”

Jamie chuckled, nodding. “Aye. Will do.”

You turned to the Doctor, “Never thought we would ever do this.” You hugged him tightly, “Goodbye, Doctor.”

“Goodbye, Y/N. Take care.”

“Be careful.” You whispered in his ear before stepping away. You looked at the Brigadier who sent you a smile as you stood beside him.

“Are you sure about this, Y/N?” The Doctor asked after Jamie and Zoe went into the Tardis.

You nodded, waving goodbye as he headed into the Tardis. You watched the Tardis dematerialize and turned to Brigadier, kissing him passionately, shocking him and the men around him.

“Yeah, worth it.” You walked away with a smile, blushing as you went to the car. Alistair looked at Benton and Yates, who were smirking, quickly walking away when the Brigadier raised an eyebrow at them. You looked at him on the mirror when he approached the car, putting the suitcase in the backseat.

You knew it would take time to adjust to the different time zone, different behavioral expectations mostly, but that was a small price to pay when you had a man that doesn’t mind your boldness, who was understanding that you weren’t like the woman from his time and we’re used to expressing how you felt, very open and opinionated. And the differences became things he loved about you.

He got behind the wheel and looked at you. “Where do we start?” He asked.

“Tea?” You suggested with a smile.

Your first kiss was very fresh, and you were itching for a second, but you thought his squad would have heart attacks if they saw their boss kissing a woman again.

Alistair nodded with a smile and drove out of UNIT, heading to what would become your new home. And soon you realized that you didn’t need to change who you are to fit into his world and if someone tried to dismiss you when you voiced opinions or when you were behaving differently from expectations of women at that time, he would defend you while making it known that he had friends in high places.

You wondered what the Doctor was doing, what terrifying, fascinating, and heart-racing adventure he had stumbled upon. You missed life on the Tardis, but you would make the same choice if you had to do it all over again. You were embarking on a new adventure with Alistair, who was supportive and everything you needed. Hearing about some of the cases he worked on at the table, was enough excitement in your life. You certainly did not miss running from danger on an unfamiliar planet. But you did miss the Doctor, and one day, you hoped to see him again, even if it was for the last time.

Leaving the Tardis that day was something you could never regret and would never regret. You were decades before your time, yet you had never felt more at home. You had found the place you needed to be, and you were grateful that meeting the Doctor led to meeting the Brigadier.
