Tenth Doctor
Tumblr media
The Doctor looked so uncomfortable.
He was pressed into the corner of the conference room, unable to escape the chattering of a persistent woman. She laughed ridiculously, shaking her whole body until she was bumping into him. The Doctor shook her off with a forced smile.
(Y/N) watched them from afar, perhaps enjoying his state of panic – very rarely do you see the Doctor knocked down a peg.
Though it was peculiar to see him so resistant of a flirtatious encounter. He was always sweeping strangers off their feet with talk of space and how brilliant he was. But right then there was nothing but strain on his face as the touchy woman sought his arm.
“I should take pity on him,” (Y/N) thought, sipping the remaining of her cocktail and envisioning a list of things the Doctor could do to repay her kindness.
She nudged through the crowd of babbling businessmen and their escorts to reach the corner of the room, starting to hear the high pitch voice of the confounding woman.
“Oh, stop!” she shrieked in laughter, “You couldn’t possibly have anything else to do tonight.”
“W-Well…” the Doctor stuttered, “I’ve got people to see, lords to meet, p-planets to save.” He frantically sought an excuse to escape.
(Y/N) could have sworn she watched the clouds part and sunshine fall on his face as the Doctor spotted her arrival. He practically yelled at her.
“(Y/N)!”
The insistent woman turned brazenly, a hand against her collarbone.
“Hi there,” (Y/N) said brightly.
“Hello, darling,” the Doctor said, pushing to reach her side. “How are you?”
But he didn’t give her a chance to respond as he gripped her waist and pulled her to his lips. He kissed her hard and fierce, leaving no room to question how he felt about her. (Y/N) was shocked into a standstill, hands braced against his arms as he leaned into her hungrily.
It was all-consuming, his fingers digging into her sides, holding her in place as he claimed her mouth.
The pair of them were so absorbed in each other’s embrace that they completely missed the departure of the flustered woman.
It might’ve been minutes later that (Y/N) pushed against the Doctor’s arms, gasping for air. “Woah…”
The Doctor instantly pulled away, believing that he had overstepped beyond repair. He rubbed at his face, fingers lingering over his lips as he fumbled over something to say.
“I… you – I’m sorry, (Y/N),” and he looked it too. “I couldn’t get that infernal woman to leave and then you… I didn’t mean to come at you like that.”
(Y/N) had a hand to her chest, chasing the rapid beating of her heart. “Um…” she gulped, “I didn’t mind.”
His head was downturned, but his eyes flew to hers. “Sorry?”
She shook her head, “I didn’t mind.”
He got a wonderous look on his face. And (Y/N) had the sneaking suspicion there was a reason he didn’t fancy going out with the stranger.
Eleventh Doctor
Tumblr media
His mind was reeling, jumping from one scenario to another. It was making his jittery movements more erratic, his fingers dancing about as he saw his thoughts before him.
He was starting to sweat with the anticipation, “By George,” he muttered, “I’m in a right state.”
“Sorry?” (Y/N) asked, lounging near the tardis. It was stuck in a quantum lock by a devious friend of the Doctor’s, one that peevishly sought to jest his companions with silly requests.
The Doctor winced at her words, on the brink of bolting, “I’ve got to do something.” He rubbed his fingertips together, inching towards her like every step was crunching over glass. “And in all my years, it’s comparable to some of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done.”
“Are you alright?” (Y/N) asked, standing to meet him, “You’re a bit jumpy.”
He gave a breathy laugh, “I’m just twitterpated.”
She scrunched her brow, “Okay,” she eyed his nervous gaze.
He licked his lips, “See the problem is I’ve made a deal with the magistrate,” he gestured towards the palace behind them, “And there’s no way we can unlock the tardis without me meeting the terms.”
“Alright,” (Y/N) smiled, “What is he asking you to do?”
“Something I’ve given a great deal of thought to,” he bounced on the balls of his feet, “And my friend finds it appropriate to make it a requirement for our escape.”
“Can I help?”
He laughed again, high and nervous, “Bear with me.” He reached her standing figure, “This isn’t quite how I imagined it, but… right.” He went to cup her face with nimble fingers, fear lining his gaze.
(Y/N) grew worried, reaching to grab his arm, but before she could voice her concern, the Doctor put his lips on hers. Gentle and apprehensive and sweet at first, he pulled away just an inch – only to plant a stronger kiss right after. It was as if he wanted to capture one memorable kiss before the possible rejection that might follow.
He had to pry himself away, stumbling back and ashamedly looking at her as the tardis doors swung open as if on command.
“I’m sorry,” he said, twisting his fingers.
She stared at him with wide eyes, “You daft old man.” His continual look of shame brought a smile to her face, “I would have agreed if you just asked.”
His posture straightened out, surprised, “You… you didn’t mind.”
“Doctor,” she laughed, “I’ve known about your little crush since our first adventure. You’re so terribly obvious.”
He started to smile, “I always thought myself mysterious and debonair.”
“And who was I to crush that confidence.” She went for his hand, “You would have thought he asked you to wipe my memory or send me away with how scared you looked.”
“You happen to be a very scary person.”
“Said no one, ever.”
He shrugged, giddily enjoying his hand in hers, “We’re holding hands.”
She laughed, “Well spotted, Doctor.”
Jack
Tumblr media
They raced down the corridor, blaring red lights illuminating their path. The terrifying sound of dozens of army boots pounded away behind them.
Jack grappled for her hand.
“Just around this corner!” he yelled over the sirens, “There’s gotta be a way out.”
“What if there isn’t?”
“Don’t think like that,” Jack cried, swinging around the corner.
They came face to face with a high security door. It was sealed airtight, powered by an electrical panel.
“Dammit,” Jack ground out, pounding on the metal door, once – twice. “Right.” He tore at the electrical panel, revealing a mess of buzzing wires. A few began sparking as he tugged at them, whipping his hand away at singeing his fingers.
“We don’t have a way to open it,” (Y/N) muttered, feeling her gut sink at the realization that they were trapped with the inevitable chasing after them.
Jack rolled up his sleeves, “Don’t worry, sweetheart.” He gave her a wink, “I told you I’d get us out of here – a few wires aren’t going to stop us.”
“But you’ll be electric-“ She was cut off with a scream as Jack reached in and yanked a fistful of wires out of the box.
His teeth clenched, his body seizing as volts of lightning shot through him, effectively stopping his heart. He flew to the ground, singed and smoking, completely still as the life left him.
(Y/N) cried out, falling to her knees, “Jack,” she gasped. “Oh my god, Jack!” She reached for his chest, ignoring how the door unsealed itself, snapping open with a hiss.
“Come on,” she said shakily, placing her fists over his heart and beginning to push down. “I swear to god, Jack, if you die because of opening a bloody door…”
She cupped his face, kissing him gently and blowing air into his lungs. He didn’t stir for another minute, the taste of salty tears on his lips as she began to cry above him.
It was not how she envisioned their first kiss.
“Please,” she begged, “Please, wake up.”
And with an almighty breath, Jack sat up, crying out, “Woah!” He planted his hands on his chest, wincing, “Did you give me CPR?”
(Y/N) had her hands over her mouth, staring at him in horror.
He was touching his lips then, “Were we kissing?” He gave her a raised eyebrow, “And I missed it?”
She smacked him across the arm, “Why are you acting like that? You just died, Jack!”
“Yeah, about that…” he climbed to his feet, “I sort of can’t – you know – die.”
(Y/N) glared at him, “Would’ve been nice to know beforehand.”
He shrugged, giving her that charismatic smile, “I have a flare for the dramatic.” He took a step towards her, “Now, about that kiss.”
“You mean the CPR I was giving you to save your life.”
“Potato, patato,” he grinned, “I think we should do it again sometime.”
She shook her head, unable to contain her smile, “Unbelievable.”
Rory
Tumblr media
They walked as inconspicuously as possible, not wishing to draw the attention of the crowds. Rory had her wrist in his hand, paving the way through the masses. They tried to hide their growing looks of panic, taking short, shallow breaths.
“Do they know we’re here?” (Y/N) asked quietly near his back.
He swallowed, “I hope not.”
“Very reassuring,” she muttered, whipping her eyes around. “We’ve got to get out of here.”
“I was just thinking the same thing.”
He led her towards the nearest corridor, checking to see if any uniforms were waiting just around the corner. They moved quicker, jogging around to find the exit. It was just another day in the life of adventure with the Doctor.
And what could be more brilliant than getting lost on a foreign planet without any idea where the tardis was.
“Do you hear that?” (Y/N) tugged on Rory’s hand, pausing their steps.
He scrunched his brow, “Reinforcements.” Heavy footfalls seemed to come from all around them. “They must be changing shifts.”
(Y/N) spotted a helmet turning the corner on their left, “Incoming.”
Rory cursed, looking towards the right and seeing the same thing. Soldiers were winding their way through the traveling people.
“What do we do?” (Y/N) whispered, feeling Rory’s fingers fidget against her wrist. “They’re going to spot us for sure.”
Rory looked unsure of himself, pulling (Y/N) towards him, “Do you trust me?”
“What?” She eyed his apprehension, “Of course I trust you.”
He gulped, pressing her flush against him and waiting for the soldiers to be mere feet away. Finally he took a shaky breath and twisted her around, pressing her into the wall behind them. He slammed his lips onto hers, shielding as much of her body with his.
She was hesitant at first but went along with the plan as soon as her shock wore off. She wound her fingers into his hair, keeping him against her mouth. They melded together, hot and heavy against the wall as groups of people wanders past.
It was a lifetime before they pulled apart for some air.
“Well, that was…” (Y/N) started off.
Rory blinked, all in a daze, “Yeah…”
She bit her lip, “I think we’re in the clear.”
“Right, of course,” he cleared his throat. “But when we get back…”
She raised her eyebrows, “Pick up where we left off?”
“Yes, please.”

What can I say, sometimes inspiration strikes and I have to answer the call.
Edit: yes, I did do it chronologically on purpose! And the ordering would be different if I ordered it based on my personal feelings of gender envy LMAO

Episode 5: The Unknown Subject
Doctor Who : Multishot
Eleventh Doctor x Reader
Word Count: 3413
Warnings: some gunshots. some blood. some violence. some virus warfare. some of the oncoming storm. River taking matters into her own hands... inspiration and some lines came from Criminal Minds Season 4 Episode 24 “Amplification.” 
Request: This just came from my own head 😊
A/N: A skilled team of FBI tactical profilers analyze the country’s most prevalent oncoming disasters, anticipating the criminal mind’s next moves before they can inflict doomsday.
Episode 4: The New Heir
Episode 5: The Unknown Subject {You Are Here}
Episode 6: Dr. Smith
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The DAU was overrun with representatives of all international governments. The army was instructing team members under the FBI and CIA to form search parties abroad in each country. Agents were conversing with contacts across seas as they tried to get everyone on the same page about the suspect.
SSA Smith was in the conference room having a heated discussion with other leaders and officials. They could all see him fuming behind the glass walls.
Jack was leaning into Donna, muttering some theories about where they were going to be stationed next. “I heard the professor was last seen in France.”
“She crossed the border after the stunt in London,” Donna agreed, readjusting her blazer as new agents caught her eye. “I think John’s talking to the Prime Minister and the president of France.”
Rory was sitting at his desk, glasses pushed up his nose, “He’s been tense.”
(Y/N) agreed, folding her arms and standing next to the rest of her team. The Doctor had been avoiding her as of late. He had become this hardened, cold-shouldered character since the last reality.
It was hard to associate him with her Doctor. He was so dark and strict and to-the-point. But she could see the split second of recognition in his green eyes when he looked at her.
He still looked at her with fondness.
“You think the professor will cook up some new disease?” Donna asked rather morbidly, “After we traced the last one?”
“Well, with the CDC already synthesizing a cure after the last attack,” Rory said, “I wouldn’t be surprised if she tried to create a 2.0 version to throw us through a loop.”
Jack nodded towards the conference room, “Look. He’s calling us in. Time for another debriefing.”
The team walked determinedly through the crowds of agents and military personnel, climbing the ramp to get to their seats.
The Doctor had his arms folded, already introducing their guest before they all sat down.
“Hello everyone, this is Dr. Martha Jones, chief of special pathogens with the CDC.”
(Y/N) nodded to the woman she recognized as a past companion of the Doctor. But the Martha here didn’t know her – she just looked worried with a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.
“Hello, I’m sorry to meet under these circumstances,” Martha said. “The target, Professor River Song, has been developing an unknowable strain of virus capable to compete with our most deadly naturally occurring viruses.”
“She’s already tried that,” Jack said, “We’re creating a cure, aren’t we?”
The Doctor frowned, “She’s struck again with an entirely new strain – in Lyon, France.”
“Oh my god,” Donna whispered.
“Last night, 47 people checked into hospitals with similar symptoms,” Martha began, “And by this morning 22 of those people have died.”
Jack took a seat, “Damn.” He set his jaw, “Were you able to detect the virus?”
“Yes,” Martha said, “Disease control centers across the world have taken samples and are working around the clock to create a new cure.”
“In the meantime,” the Doctor said, “We have to apprehend the professor before she strikes again. We have reason to believe she’s entered the United States. She may have been spotted at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia.”
Rory piped up, “But she didn’t attack the airport?”
“No,” said Martha.
“Then what are we doing about other potential mass targets?” Rory continued, “Malls, trains, subways?”
The Doctor sighed, “There’s a media blackout. We can’t tell the public.”
“There’d be a mass exodus,” Jack nodded in agreement, “The panic would end up killing more people.”
“We’re heading to Georgia,” the Doctor said, “Wheels up in five. Thank you Dr. Jones.”
Martha nodded to him, “I’ll be your direct contact for the cure. I’ll let you know of any developments.”
The team all stood and made for the elevators to pack for their coming trip. Martha followed to converse with the military scientists outside. (Y/N) remained behind with the Doctor, anxiously waiting for him to look at her.
“Doctor,” she said cautiously, “Are you okay?”
It looked like he was hardly breathing, “Perfectly fine.”
“You don’t sound like yourself,” she continued, “I can tell you’re upset.”
“Why would I be upset?” he said lowly, “I only learned that a close friend of mine wants to kill you.”
He went to exit the conference room, but (Y/N) stepped in front of the door.
“I wasn’t going to die.”
“Yes,” he said darkly, his voice deep and angered, “You would’ve.”
“But not in reality. Not in our true reality,” she pressed, “This is a dream, Doctor – you know that.”
“How can you be so sure dying in here doesn’t mean you’ll die in real life?” he asked, brow furrowed.
Gone was his dancing fingers and giddy steps. Gone was his childlike smile and eccentric movements. He was tall and cold and angry.
“I trust River,” she said quietly, “Her logic is sound.”
“But unproven,” he said, “We don’t know what’s keeping us here. It could be dangerous to wake up. There has to be another way.”
There was the strange tingle of anticipation growing. The dream was about to zap them to the next scene. They had been off script for too long.
“This isn’t up for debate, (Y/N),” he said.
She hated the way he looked at her like he couldn’t fully see her. He was clouded by the storm that had developed and resided within him. The Oncoming Storm.
Something sparked in her stomach. The reason he became like this was because she almost died. Because he cared about her so much he was willing to do anything to keep her safe.
~~~
(Y/N) was suddenly sitting in a booth in a local Georgia café. Across from her was Jack, sipping a massive chocolate milkshake.
It seemed like a more Jack thing to do rather than this FBI agent character. It almost made her smile.
“You sure you don’t want some?” he asked, biting off the candied cherry.
She slumped into the booth, “I’m okay, thanks.” She looked around to see if any of the other team members were there. “I wouldn’t want to spill on my suit.”
Jack looked amused, “And you think I will? Am I a messy eater?”
“The worst,” she snickered. But her mind was still clouded with the interaction with the Doctor. He had looked so angry.
“You’re thinking about him, aren’t you?” Jack said, swirling his straw around. “Don’t be coy, I know that look.”
She gave a nervous smile, “John?” The scripted lines came out of her easily while her mind dwelled on the dilemma at hand. “We had an argument.”
“Obviously,” Jack said with rolling eyes, “We all saw you in the conference room. He’s just worried about you is all.”
“I know, and it’s infuriating.”
Jack sighed, “You had a close call last case – you almost died.” He contemplated his next sentence for a second, “I think Smith realized that it was possible to lose you.”
“That was always a possibility.”
“But he got a taste of it,” Jack leaned in, putting emphasis on his words, “He had a taste of those feelings – of that loss – and it terrified him.”
(Y/N) could feel her heart snap into motion. It might’ve been a script, but what Jack was saying made total sense to the Doctor as well.
There had been a pattern to all of these dreams. And she was starting to see it.
“You’re making it sound like…”
Jack clicked his tongue, “Like he’s in love with you?” He grinned, “That’s because he is.”
Every dream had a theme of getting the Doctor and (Y/N) together. In the New York apartment there was the tender moment they shared in the coffeehouse. In the fantasy realm he rescued her from an arranged marriage – had said I love you to each other. In the old English estate they were prompted to be friendly with one another in hopes of an eventual marriage.
There had never been a spoken word between them about being anything more than friends, than companions. Sure there had been initial attraction but it was quickly set aside when it was evident the Doctor wasn’t interested.
Or was he.
Perhaps (Y/N) had been blinded by her own efforts to avoid greater feelings. It made traveling with him easier. If she had developed true love with him then the entire companionship would be at risk of falling apart.
But as Jack started rambling on about the evidence he had gathered on why John was in love with her, she continued to connect dots.
These dreams were tailored to the Doctor.
When he wanted to catch River Song for what she did, the dream state changed into a reality where that was plausible. It was set in a crime drama where they caught bad guys.
Somehow the Doctor was in charge. He might not even realize it.
“I’ve completely stumped you, haven’t I?” Jack asked, setting his milkshake aside, “Hard to believe Smith is capable of love, huh.”
“Not entirely.”
Jack looked up quick, “Really?”
(Y/N) shrugged, eyes glazed as she tried to pull herself out of her deep thought. “I don’t know.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen the guy crack a smile, let alone express an ounce of affection.”
She became reminiscent of the Doctor that was the opposite. The one that was all smiles and all doting affection. Was her safety really the reason for him acting so different?
“But I do know that I’ve never seen him more relaxed than when he’s with you,” Jack said with a growing smirk. “You bring out the best in him.”
“And the worst,” she said quietly, “Evidently.”
Jack threw a few dollars on the table, “It’s gotta be nice to be loved that much though.”
She wrung her hands, “We have to go meet Smith and Pond.”
“I’m telling you…” Jack said, leading the way outside and brandishing a pair of sunglasses, “You gotta say something to him. The poor guy is hopeless when it comes to first moves. Trust me, I’ve worked with the guy for years.”
(Y/N) walked alongside him, making sure her firearm and badge were secured at her belt. “I don’t think he’s in the mood for any love confessions.”
“He’s never in the mood,” Jack said with a laugh. He slung his arm around her shoulders, always the light heart. “But if you’re so concerned with why he’s upset, maybe you need to talk about it.”
“I tried this morning,” she grumbled, his bouncing steps infectious.
Jack squeezed her shoulder, “Then you try again. He might not be an easy man. But he’s a good man.”
She wholeheartedly agreed with that statement. The Doctor was a complicated, eccentric genius who made things more difficult than they had to be. But he was also the loveliest, most generous man who gave the best hugs.
And they deserved to get out of there. And (Y/N) had to get through to him somehow – even with him being stuck in this arrogant, gruff character.
She spotted the Doctor and Amy through the windows of the local police station. They seemed to be discussing something as they looked over a city map. Jack led them across the street and towards the entrance.
He gave her a playful wink as they walked into their work room.
“(Y/N),” said Amy, always looking her best in her professional attire. She was usually underestimated by the agents, but always made the looks on their faces all the more amusing when she proved them wrong.
“Have you found anything?” she asked, avoiding a glance in the Doctor’s direction.
Amy shook her head, “We’re waiting on some intel in central Atlanta. Our profile has led us to believe that the professor will plan an attack at the Atlanta History Center.”
The Doctor muttered, “It’s a historical museum. A place she might enjoy.” He flashed his eyes toward (Y/N) and they both dwelled on their archeologist of a friend. River would love old museums.
“What intel are we waiting for?” Jack asked, eyeing their position on the city map.
Amy scrolled through her phone, “They’re verifying that the professor was spotted in the vicinity. Noble and Williams are giving out the profile and monitoring the surveillance.”
“Let’s not start a panic at the museum unless we have to,” the Doctor said, rubbing hard at his face.
“Understood,” Jack said.
But (Y/N) had fixated on the scruff of the Doctor’s jaw. It was so strange to see him like that. He looked older. He looked more tired. He looked… like an adult.
She wanted his little toyshop salesman self to come out and make some childish remark about the taste of custard cream or the boredom of taxes.
“Can I have a moment alone with (Y/N).” The Doctor was still looking away as his colleagues shared looks.
Jack and Amy cleared their throats, sidling out of the room with quick steps.
(Y/N) wrung her hands again, feeling the uneasiness of an unscripted moment.
“Doctor…”
“You’re going to stay here when we go apprehend River Song.”
“Excuse me?” the words became lodged in her throat, “You can’t do that.”
He gave her a heated stare, “I’m not risking you getting hurt.”
“Doctor, how many times do I need to tell you not to worry. This isn’t real. I won’t really get hurt.”
“Did that Spanish flu hurt?” he asked, emotion flaring in his eyes, “Did laying in your sickbed hurt you?”
It did. But she knew there wasn’t any permanent damage. It was just a dream.
“I’ll wake up,” she said quietly, “It would force me awake.”
He gritted his teeth, “And what if it doesn’t?”
“God, I’d risk it, Doctor! We can’t stay stuck in here for the rest of our lives.”
He looked conflicted, “But it hasn’t been so bad, has it? The roles we’ve played.”
“That’s all it is, Doctor. It’s all play. It’s not real. I want to get back to our real lives.”
“You’re real,” he deadpanned, uncharacteristically still as he stood his ground. “You’re enough for me.”
She blanked. Her mind sifted out of her ears as she scrambled to form words. “Doctor… there are more realistic ways to have a life with me. You don’t have to dream one up.”
His shoulders stiffened, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I have a feeling you might.” She took a step forward, “You can’t create some fictional life with me where we play these characters that live normal married human lives.”
“We’ve never been married,” he said quickly.
“I had a feeling the next one might have us be,” she said just as fast. “It shifts to your wants, Doctor. But what you want here… right now – it’s not what I want. I can’t play a character and pretend that I’m happy with all this.”
His fingers started to fidget like they use to on their adventures, “You’re not happy.”
She lightly shook her head. “I want to go home.”
“You’re not happy here with me.” He said it more to himself then to her.
But she quickly cut in, “I’m happy with you on the tardis. I’m happy with you back in our own lives.” Her hands rose to clutch at her chest, “Please, Doctor – this isn’t right. We have to wake up.”
“There has to be another way than dying!” he said, furious again.
There was a whoosh of air and the pair of them were standing outside of a historical building, groups of people running around in a panic.
Their talk of the real world had them flying to the next scene.
They were clad in bullet proof vests, guns poised in their hands. Wires crept up their backs and into their ears. They could hear the rest of their team asking for orders and the whereabouts of Professor River Song.
“No,” the Doctor growled, addressing (Y/N). “You are staying here while I find River.”
“Like hell I am,” she cried back, taking off for the museum.
“(Y/N)!” the Doctor yelled, “It isn’t safe.”
The screams of the bystanders became muted as she searched for their friend. Seeing her here would mean River was sucked into the dream world too. She could no longer manipulate the rules of the dream.
Her feet pounding into the cement, she frantically searched the faces of the crowd. The Doctor was getting lost behind her, being swarmed by the public.
She cried out, “River! River I’m here!” She kept her finger off the trigger, but her gun was still brandished. “River Song!”
Then in the distance she heard a voice cry back, “(Y/N)?”
She flew around, there at the edge of the building was a pile of crazed, curly hair. She had her own gun at her hip.
“How did you get here?” (Y/N) asked, “Did you get pulled in?”
“Unfortunately,” River said, meeting her friend with a hug. “But I can still try to pull us out.”
(Y/N) eyed her gun, “You trying to get back in prison for murdering someone?”
River shrugged, “This is just a nightmare. None of it is real.”
“Feels real,” (Y/N) whispered, staring at the gun, “I suppose that’s what scares you awake.”
The gun was raised and aimed for (Y/N), “That’s the theory.”
“The Doctor’s not so sure.”
“He gets skeptical when it comes to the safety of those he loves.”
“People keep telling me that,” (Y/N) said, holstering her gun.
River took a deep breath, taking aim, “That he worries for your safety?”
“No,” (Y/N) said, “That he loves me.”
“Maybe you should take the hint,” the professor laughed, “This should only sting a little.” Her eyes flickered to behind (Y/N), “Incoming.”
“Hands in the air!” came the voice of Amy, “I said hands up!”
Jack was right behind her, “(Y/N), where is your gun?”
“It’s alright,” she responded over her shoulder, “I’ll see you guys when we wake up.” She gave a nod towards River Song.
She nodded back, firing three gunshots.
Red hot pain ran through (Y/N)’s lower abdomen. Two shots barely clipped the vest, but the third lodged itself near her hipbone, but definitely into her major organs. It was true, the shock and adrenaline that coursed her system made the bullets only slightly hurt.
She was falling to her knees when more shots were fired. In the distance she could see River Song fall to the ground.
The pain was sharp but was growing into something dull and achingly present. A hand pressed to her stomach came back coated in bright blood. The life was beginning to slip between her fingers.
“(Y/N)!” came a cry from above. Rough hands grasped at her body, pulling her in a way that made her wounds flare up.
She cried out, “Stop!” Her fingers were weak where she grabbed at the arms around her. It was hard to see – her vision was blurry. Her ears were full of a buzz.
But it was the Doctor that cradled her now, “What did you do?” he whispered. “What did you do?”
There was a crack in his voice and her heart began to hurt just as much as the rest of her body.
~~~
There was an insistent beeping somewhere next to her. The air smelled sterile and stuffy with disinfectant.
Her fingers picked at the cotton sheets around her. There was something taped to the back of her hand.
Opening her eyes, she spotted the IV drip. After adjusting she noticed the white walls and old machines measuring her heartrate.
She quickly lifted the blankets to look at her abdomen. After a quick inspection she realized that there weren’t any bandages. There was no evidence at all that she was shot just minutes before. Her skin was clear.
“Dammit,” she whispered, her head falling back into the pillows. They had jumped to another reality.
A crash against her windows had her looking for the source.
There, clad in scrubs and white lab coats, was Amy and Rory. The pair of them kissing like they were hungry for their last meal. Pressed against the window they were unabashed as they consumed each other.
(Y/N) rolled her eyes. Great… they were stuck in a medical drama now.
And something else had become evident. The Doctor might have more control over the dream than she realized.
It was apparent that if the Doctor didn’t want to wake up, then (Y/N) wasn’t going to wake up either.

Doctor Who is such an amazing piece of media because depending on your age when you watch it, you see it entirely differently
As a child, it’s the mystical timey wimey blue box show
And as an adult it’s a traumatic tale of an eldritch horror god that breaks you heart and leaves it in a ditch every other episode :)
