#tenth doctor x donna

[zeky22]

ok, the kiss on the hand, the kiss on the head, the hugs. everything is very tender and I love it.

But is anyone talking about how the Doctor stops himself from blaming Donna for the cafe accident? …I mean, come on. It's very nice of him not want to blame her or just not tell her. Like he stops him self and says “sorry”.

this 14 Doctor doesn't want to see Donna sad. he just wants her to be okay. and he knows how much Donna blames herself for being a little dumb at times. and the Doctor remembers very well how those words stay in Donna's mind. How she spends all her time telling herself how stupid she is. and he doesn't want that for her.

I think that tortured him for many years. That she couldn't see how brilliant she is. and obviously how much he loves her.

So in this chapter we can see how He lets all the affection he has for Donna show. He will never hide it anymore.

from holding on to blaming her for the coffee, apologizing when he mentions it. and obviously calm her down when she's about to break down and obviously at the end they're both in shock from what they just went through and he can't take it anymore and kisses her head. I think that was not for Donna, but for himself. he needed to do it. knowing that she is there save with him and that he almost lost her.

They love and appreciate each other so much. I really love their dynamics, their jokes and how they annoy each other. … they are the best. the best duo!

Btw sorry for the bad English, the traductor is a trash. Sometimes

Will it be weird to say that the Meta-crisis Doctor is basically the Tenth Doctor and Donna's offspring?

Soon on AO3...

The words seemed to trigger something within the Doctor, who jumped to his feet and cupped Donna’s face in his hands, palms flush against her cheeks and fingertips at her temples. She frowned but let him touch her, worried by the urgency in the Doctor’s eyes. “Donna, you need to close your mind. Cut off the part that knows this. Come on.” She closed her eyes and the crease in her brow deepened as she focused. “You can do it, Donna, come on. Please.” Sarah Jane watched the scene unfold with a twinge of sadness. She could see how much Donna meant to the Doctor, somehow, it felt more powerful, more consuming than what she’d witnessed when she’d first met Rose. He loved Rose, but there was something akin to devotion in the way he cradled Donna’s face, as if she’d been a porcelain doll.

A post-Journey's End AU in which everyone travels together for just a little bit longer.

I don’t recall one companion before Donna, that the Doctor has declared his best friend. Like He has friends, companions, mates and many people who are very fond of him and love each one of them. But if I'm not wrong, he always says that Donna is not just his friend. but his BEST FRIEND

No one:

The Doctor: that's my best friend Donna Noble!!

Can we have a moment of silence for Sylvia, who now has an Alien living in her backyard, and a moment of triumph for Wilf, who now has an Alien living in his backyard

the way the Doctor stopped himself when he got angry with Donna, walked away, put his hands up looking guilty af and apologised? Lives rent free in my head

💙💯 they are so adorable in this one.

+when the Doctor noticed Donna got hurt with a piano.

They are so freaking CUTE!

You all know what time it is… out of context No Place, otherwise known as when we actually got an entire audio of fake-marriage trope for Ten and Donna. Big Finish I love you 😭

Cameraman: “How did you guys meet?”

Donna: “Well, it was love at first sight, wasn’t it?”

The Doctor: “Was it?”

-

The Doctor: “A house, yes! Doors, windows, roof, stairs… um… uh… s…scatter cushions?”

-

The Doctor: “Boop!”

Donna: “Did you just… boop me on the nose?”

The Doctor: “Yeah! Boop!”

Donna: “Aw, that’s my boy! And I’m just gonna boop you back, you skinny little thing! Boop!”

The Doctor: “D’aww, ‘boop!’“ laughs

The Doctor, seriously: “Funny thing, Gazarian lizard queens do that before they eat their husbands alive.”

Donna: “Is that so?”

-

Donna: “I’m gonna go check on Mum.”

The Doctor: “Nuh-uh, not before you pay the love toll!”

Donna: “…Seriously?”

The Doctor: “Yeah.”

Donna: “…Oh, honey of course! Silly me!”

The Doctor: “Silly you!”

Donna: “Mwah!”

The Doctor: “Mwaah!”

-

The Doctor: “How’s it going? …Darling.”

Donna: “Not so bad… Chipmunk.”

The Doctor: “Pumpkin.”

Awkward kissy noises

-

Justin: “Do you believe in ghosts? The supernatural, aliens? Demons?”

The Doctor: “No—Well, you’ve met the mother in law.”

Sylvia: gritting her teeth “Milk and sugar, Doctor?”

-

The Doctor: “Don’t touch it!”

Also the Doctor: licks it

-

The Doctor: “Donna and I—the two of us, we’re a team. But we’ve had a little bit of trouble recently so we’ve come here and, well, some things have just got to be saved.”

Justin: “So this renovation project is a way of saving your marriage?”

The Doctor: “Yes—Wait, what?”

-

The Doctor: “Donna and I—absolutely married. Very happily. Always, uh, popping off down the farmer’s market, picking up some organic… j… jaffa cakes?”

-

Wilf, to Justin: “Yeah, it’d take more than a few bumps to scare the Doctor.”

The Doctor: clears throat

Wilf: “Which!” Nervous laughter “Is the nickname I call my grandson… Because he’s a doctor… and I’m proud of him.”

-

The Doctor: “I’ve been—“

Wilf: coughs

The Doctor: “We’ve been digging. Well—my position is more managerial.”

-

Donna: “Mind if I come in?”

Justin: “…You already sat on my bed.”

-

The Doctor: “We’re all holding hands! Donna, Wilf, Sylvia—Sylvia!”

Sylvia: “Oh, sorry!” Holds hand

-

And even after they don’t have to be fake married anymore:

The Doctor: “Hello missus bumpsysquish!”

Donna: “Heyyy Spaceman!” :)

-

The Doctor: “I used fuel. Well—rocket fuel.

Well—Venutian rocket fuel.”

Donna: “Stop showing off pookie!”

The Doctor: “Yes snugglepuff!” :D

Basically Donna and the Doctor went from “pet name (ironic)” to “pet name (affectionate)” during the course of this audio and I think that’s beautiful

(Also this isn’t necessarily a good ooc quote but it fucking melted my heart and I need to put it here)

Donna: “Don’t change the subject, that’s what he (the Doctor) does.”

Justin: “Your husband?”

Donna, sarcastically: “Love of my life.”

Donna: “Actually… I guess he is, really.”

If I had a nickel for every time the Doctor had a sassy ginger companion he referred to as his best friend, and then said ginger companion had a daughter whose name begins with R (and was not the name they were born with) and this daughter even though human, has certain time lord characteristics due to complex plot reasons, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[deeneedsaname]

“I really do remember though. Every second with you. I’m so glad you’re back, cause it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.”

The recognition of the fact that losing Donna was such a last straw for the tenth doctor though. He lost her, and Donna had been so perfect for him, and just…this line and the delivery is exactly about that.

"Here.  Coffees.  Easy when you know how." "Where’s mine?" "You? You’re the last person I’d give caffeine. Oi, Sylvi – Search ADHD. I bet his picture comes up."

I love how the Doctor just suggested a Kiss.

And the boop on the nose … lmao they are so silly i love them

a minute and a half of the Doctor and Donna pretending to be a married couple and being extremely awkward, embarrassing, and quite adorable actually

[thelittlecoughsomewhere]

There is something to be said about how Donna is the only companion (New Who) who sees the inside of the Tardis before she sees the outside and how that paralells that she is the only one who when first meeting them sees the Doctor how he really is: raw, emotional, even forced to be honest about his deepest wound (the fact that he "loses" companions), his powers and ship incredibly intimidating and scary for humans (a spaceship that can snatch you from thin air where you can open the doors and look outside into space)

She meets the real version of him before she meets the public persona of him. In first meeting him she sees aspects of him he normally hides and only reveals later because he doesn't want to scare people away (like the inside of the tardis who he doesn't show to anybody).

And in the end she still chooses to trust him. She saw him at one of the worst day of his life, depressed, defeated and lashing out at her and still said I trust you.

The runaway bride is essential for understanding the Doctor Donna dynamic.
