I'm writing a lot of fanfic stuff at the minute. I wrote this Dr Who fic for @alligatorsky 's birthday. Enjoy:)
The queen. He should have known. He knew she held a grudge against him. He knew. He stumbled into the TARDIS, clutching his his chest as if it would stop him dying. Oh Liz. Liz One and her witchcraft. He'd just reached the console when his legs gave way. He desperately pulled levers and pushed buttons and hoped it would take him where he wanted. The Doctor felt that familiar inferno sparking in his chest. It steadily grew, burning away the old, dying Doctor and giving birth to a stranger. Finally the fire exploded out of his fingertips and he was gone. The new Doctor was left gasping on the frigid metal floor. As always after a regeneration, the Doctor employed a full body inventory. Immediately it was made obvious something was different. Oh God, that was really different. Feeling buoyant like a new person, the Doctor walked to the door to see if the TARDIS had gone to the right place. * * * Rory heard the sound of the TARDIS materialising outside. He called for Amy and they made their way outside to greet their friend. But instead of Amy's Raggedy Doctor a tall, gangly woman stepped out and grinned at them as if they were lifelong friends. 'Who the hell are you?' snapped Amy rudely. Rory internally rolled his eyes at her. Forever Scottish. But the woman's grin merely widened. 'Hello Amy.' she said in a voice not unlike a sat-nav's, 'I'm the Doctor.' Amy spluttered in shock whereas Rory merely knitted his brow. 'But... Doctor...' he started, 'What's River going to think of this?' The grin instantly disappeared from her face. 'Oh. I didn't think of that...'
