Sam recoiled a tiny bit, keeping his distance from the younger version of his father, unsure what’d happen if he got too close. “Spoilers.” That was the word his mother had used before. Seemed fitting right now.

He was scared. How was he supposed to find his parents or another TARDIS in the hustle and bustle of the fair outside. And he was beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed as tears formed in his blue eyes. “I was supposed to stay close and I didn’t. And now you and da will meet and the universe will prolly fold in on itself because you can’t be him and you at the same time and it’s all my fault.”

There it was, the lad was properly crying now.

littletime​:

Sam froze, eyes widening. This was Da but with bowties and cool hats. The one in all of the photos with nan and grandad. It caught him off guard to see the man who only existed in fairytales to him. This was very not good. Horrible even.

“Mum and da told me to meet them here. But this here isn’t the right here.” He bit his thumb. There weren’t rules or a plan he knew for in case this happened unlike there were for any number of scenarios. A cybermite, he knew what to do then, but meeting a version of your father who wasn’t yet your father? That was new territory entirely.

“I’m afraid I’ve made a big mistake.”

             He raised an eyebrow.   “Here,  here?”  He points to the ground,  indicating his ship:  “Like,  here,  here,  like right here,  on this ship,  here?”  He’s trying to connect this all in his brain;  piercing it together,  flickering through the words to find out that this child isn’t supposed to be in this TARDIS;  not his TARDIS.  But that meant there’s another Doctor nearby right? 

Wrong time,  right place,  or was it wrong place,  right time?  

“Are you a companion?  And hey,  hey,  it’s okay to make a mistake;  I make them all the time,  but don’t tell your Doctor I said that.”

@littetime travelled through time and space to send in this:          Sam had wandered off, he knew he shouldn’t have wandered off but there were so many things to look at when it came to the frost fairs, he couldn’t help it. He’d gotten distracted and now he was lost without any sign of either parent. Just find the TARDIS and wait there. He just needed to follow the plan for if they ever got separated. Find the TARDIS. And stay put. So one could imagine the relief the boy felt upon seeing the blue box, tension left his lanky eight year old frame immediately upon opening the door, though it swiftly returned once he saw the unfamiliar decor inside, both hearts dropping into his stomach. He fidgeted with his fingers anxiously as he further entered the console room. “Da? Mum?” [ @littletime ] | random prompts.  [ accepting! ]

             An unfamiliar voice echoed through the console room,  and the Doctor stepped down the staircase to see a figure by the doors.   Da?  Mum? “Are you lost?”  He says as he smiles politely.   He can tell that the boy was already anxious,  so he didn’t step forward just in case it alarmed the other.  “Don’t think your parents would be here.  It’s the frost fair,  isn’t it?  Bet they told you not to wander off.  A rule I tend to follow and often break.”

" you never talk about your past... why? " - from @xthatboylukex

@xthatboylukex

The teen shrugged, if he was honest it was because no one ever ask, everyone who needed to know what happened knew.

“Because it’s not that happy.”

That was a lie, his childhood was what some would consider perfect until it wasn’t. Until his mother left on an expedition and didn’t come home. Until he changed faces. Until his father had this sad look in his eyes every time he looked at him.

There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, to a four year old that meant that there’s a chance. Their whole excursion was exciting for him already, he never got to actually go into the field with his mum. And he was ready to help in anyway his tiny enthusiastic self could.

“You think we’ll find one today? What if-What if we find a whole t-rex, it would be huge and-and-and whatever da’s doing won’t be cooler this time ‘cause we found a whole dinosaur!” He was gesturing broadly as he talked his voice getting more hurried as he became even more excited

@littletime​ said: “How many dinosaur bones do you find?”

   Short answer: none. She’s an archaeologist, not a paleontologist, and had the question come from anyone else they would have received the oft-recited ‘definition of archaeology for idiots’. But this is her son who’s asking, her young son who’s gazing up at her with eyes filled with equal parts excitement and adoration, and she can’t find it in herself to disappoint him.

   "Not many sweetheart - there aren’t many dinosaur bones around, so it’s very special if you find any.“ Especially on planets like this one, which to her knowledge has never been home to any dinosaurs at all, whether living or dead.

“But your eyes, they’ve inflated.” His brow furrowed, while he looked more like his father’s previous face this go around, his mannerisms were still similar to the face she’d lost.

He gave her a tiny smile before turning his head away again, looking out at the gorgeous view they ended up. “Thank you, for letting me hitch a ride.”

“why do you have that look on your face?” (littletime)

@littletime

Clara looked away from the boy, shaking her head. He was a reminder of the friend she had lost. He was the child of the friend she had lost...

"It's nothing," she muttered. "Don't worry about it."

[littletime]

“You don’t know that.”

“She could me on a planet of coffee tables right now!” He’d maintain that him simply playing was not that bad. It was an ugly table anyway, and not sturdy at all. “Maybe she’ll bring a new one from coffee table planet.”

littletime​:

“That I can’t go around jumping off of things even though mummy does it all the time.” There was some serious hypocrisy on the rules of Sam doing parkour in the house. He knew his mother and his father did things far more dangerous than he did just jumping around the house from time to time. And maybe jumping out of a tree once or twice, but in his defense with his father standing right under the branch he is was on, he was clearly going to be caught.

The Doctor did not know much when it came to children, but something he had picked up somewhere along the years is that they were very fond of pointing out unfairness in their personal world, usually and especially when it revolved around others being allowed to do something that they were not. They adored bringing justice to hypocrisy and to the offense that they could not throw themselves around a room for no reason. Luckily, the Doctor has a masterful rebuttal: “Your mother doesn’t almost kill herself on a coffee table.”

“ listen to me… i need to go back out there. but i promise you, i’ll be right back. okay? all i want you to do is stay hidden, and i’ll be back before you know it. ”

“ there’s nothing in this world nor any other, that would stop me from protecting you. ”

“ get out of here! now! ”

“ i knew you’d feel guilty; you do understand that i’d take a thousand wounds if it meant keeping you safe, don’t you? ”

“ i swear to you. as long as i’m by your side, you’ll never be harmed. ”

“ it’s my job to keep you safe, yes, but you could work with me a little to make it easier. ”

“ protecting you isn’t my duty. it’s my privilege. ”

“ who did this to you? where are they? ”

“ listen to me. i don’t think i’ll be able to buy you much time. and once i go out there, the clock starts. so the second you hear us fighting, i want you to run. as fast and as far as you can. ”

“ are you alright? “

“ can you move? “

“ why is it so difficult for you to believe that you deserve to be protected? “

“ you’re a good person. good people deserve to be safe. “

“ i’m going to protect you, now. because that’s what we do for the ones we love. we keep them safe. “

“ stay close. whatever you do, do not leave my side. “

“ i’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. no matter the cost. “

“ i’m on my way. ”

“ it’s alright… it’s okay… i’m here now. i’ve got you. ”

“ it’s all over now. don’t panic. it’s not my blood. ”

“ i don’t know how long i’ll be able to protect you for, but i guarantee you, i’ll only stop with my final breath. ”

“Yes!” He pumped his fist in victory before wasting no time saddling up to the console. He was eager, enthusiastic and not unlike his father had been when he first stole the TARDIS and ran from Gallifrey. He needed to get away almost as bad. The itch to run had been strong, and now he finally would even for a short while.

“My father is overprotective, where’s the fun in not having a tiny bit of danger.” It was true the Doctor had become more protective of Sam since losing River and Sam’s regeneration after a free running accident.

He was a bit of an adrenaline junkie. Maybe that was why the teen was chomping at the bit to get whisked away. And to help in doing so. “Can I at least co-pilot?”

The Doctor could be very protective, sometimes to a fault. She supposed it was in response to the amount of loss he had experienced. That, she knew, was a curse of living so long.

A curse she planned to avoid by heading back to her timestream after a few more adventures.

“Fine,” she sighed, motioning for him to join her. “But, if I say not to touch a specific thing, don’t you dare touch that thing.” That was a warning. A warning she put out for the safety of herself and him.

“That I can’t go around jumping off of things even though mummy does it all the time.” There was some serious hypocrisy on the rules of Sam doing parkour in the house. He knew his mother and his father did things far more dangerous than he did just jumping around the house from time to time. And maybe jumping out of a tree once or twice, but in his defense with his father standing right under the branch he is was on, he was clearly going to be caught.

littletime​:

He couldn’t meet his father’s gaze ashamed he’d broken the rules and taken advantaged of Nardole and his mother being away.

“Parkour.”

There it was, the answer he’d hoped he wouldn’t get but knew of course that he would. He knew his son, and, after all, he was his son. The Doctor’s son, in every way good and bad. (Not that he spent his time throwing himself around the place, but he had a similar knack for ignoring warning labels.)

“What have we told you about that?”

random dramatic prompts.

what are these? idk. i distinctly remember writing them in a sleep-deprived daze after i binged four episodes of shad/ow and b/one. lowkey inspired, but not necessarily derived from the series. just following the same intense vibe, if you know what i mean. anyway, bon appetit!

" you're not alone. never have been, never will be. "

" we need a plan. "

" i need you. "

" there's nothing in this world that can keep us apart. "

" there's nowhere else we can run! nowhere else to hide! "

" was it you? did you do all this? "

" i see a great power in you. but will it save us? or destroy us? "

" you lied to me! "

" we can't fix this. can we? "

" there has to be a way we can stop this! "
