the problem is ever since it was first pointed out to me i have been unable to not see how graham is inherently threatening as a character especially when it comes to his dynamic with ryan and more broadly his position as the sole older white man in a tardis with the first ever woman as the doctor + two young companions of color both from the watsonian and doylistic perspectives and therefore i cannot trust anyone who likes him which sadly narrows down quite a bit of fandom

[regenderate]

basically in my current conception of the situation the tentoorose divorce arc is really important because they get together initially without fully asking whether they're still the same people they were and tentoo hadn't had time to develop personhood independent of the doctor/as a human yet and rose has been pursuing the doctor in part because she genuinely doesn't believe she can manage everyday earth life and so finally they have to get to the point of stepping back and figuring out who they both are independent of each other and learning what their capabilities are. and then they can slowly build their relationship back up again with a much stronger foundation, because it's not like they really fell out of love they just needed a moment. and also they're polyamorous now. and tentoo is a woman :)

[regenderate]

all my currently active wips are centered around tentoo and rose (and mia) at different stages of their lives and i'm slowly realizing that it would be very very easy to make them all continuous within a series/within the same universe so now i have to do some editing

GIVE ME A CHARACTER;

and I’ll break their ass down:

How I feel about this character

All the people I ship romantically with this character

My non-romantic OTP for this character

My unpopular opinion about this character

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Sorry to go radio silent, but this is my first fic marathon as a COLLEGE GRADUATE!! Which means we can move the fic marathon back to September!

The Fic Marathon has returned to its original dates of September 1st through 30th which is why I am posting these so late into July. And now has been shortened back to 30 prompts. Before we get started I (@bigbad-tardis) wanted to reintroduce the fic marathon to anyone new to the event or to the fandom.

While the DoctorRose Fic Marathon may seem like a daunting task, that is not its purpose. While there are 30 prompts provided for the event, they are not necessary to follow and you don’t have to write for all 30 days. The point of the fic marathon is just to get people excited to write fics for the Doctor and Rose! In this way I aspire for the event to be beginner friendly! Write whatever you want! It can be any pairing of the Doctor and Rose, not limited to Doctors we saw Rose with on screen! There is also no limit to rating. Just label appropriately.

While the event is hosted on AO3, if you chose to write on fanfic.net or tumblr only this blog will still reblog your posts! The point is write! write! write!

Now onto the rules!

1. If you’re going to connect the stories, connect them via series instead of a single fic.

2. There is no set length or rating. Write however long or short you want your fic to be. All you can write is plenty.

3. Tag your fics with DoctorRose Fic Marathon! I’m done with trying to separate them by years. It’s easier this way.

4. Make sure to have fun!

Now onto the best part, the prompts!

The 2025 Prompts!

1. Dedication

One thing the Doctor and Rose show to each other is dedication, if not for their dedication, Rose wouldn’t have made it back.

2. Unconventional Reunion

We have the typical reunion, dimension hopping, TARDIS fixing, and the like, this prompt challenges the writer to be a little different in their approach. How is up to you.

3. On the Run

We see the Doctor and Rose run quite a bit, but we never see them on the run for a longer period of time than a night. What would happen if they did?

4. Confrontation

The Doctor and Rose always talk about their feelings, whether it be romantic or their genuine emotional states. What if that came to a head? Or the Doctor or Rose have to confront someone else? Lots to pull from.

5. Soulmates

This could be a good old fashioned soulmate au or anything in between. Some even say we make our own soulmates.

6. “You burn like the Sun”

You can explore the quote from Tooth and Claw or use it to your own ends.

7. Fake Dating

You know it, you love it (or hate it), let’s see the Doctor and Rose deal with their very real feelings while being in a very fake relationship.

8. Dreams

Explore the Doctor and Rose’s dreams whether they share them or not, and how that changes their relationship.

9. Caught in a Storm

What if the Doctor and Rose were forced to hunker down in a different location due to unforeseen weather conditions. Or stuck in the TARDIS because of an ion storm.

10. One Bed

THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED!

11. Classic

This could be a Classic Who reference, or it could be a reference to classic beauty, but Doctor and Rose will always be classic.

12. Bad Wolf as Disability

What if Bad Wolf left more of an impact on Rose than we saw or thought.

13. Episode Fix-It

Pick an episode you thought did the Doctor and Rose wrong and fix it! Whether that be Journey’s End, Girl in the Fireplace, Doomsday, or an episode of your choice.

14. Supernatural

Vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and fairies we love supernatural creatures here. And I think the Doctor and Rose should’ve ran into more than just the werewolf.

15. Memory

The Doctor and Rose’s memories are important to the facets of who they are, and with the Doctor’s long life they’ve been haunted for quite a while.

16. Guests of Honor

Whether that be a dinner, a banquet, or a ball, what if the Doctor and Rose were the guests of honor at an event?

17. The Stuff of Legend

The Tenth Doctor himself called them the stuff of legend, how did they become this way? How does that change the future and their legacies.

18. The Sword in the Stone

Excalibur was explored once in the Classic serial battlefield, but what if it happened again? Whether in a future planet or Arthurian nerds, a Merlin crossover, or actually going back in time and meeting King Arthur. The opportunities are endless.

19. Multiple Doctors

The CLASSIC TROPE of multiple Doctors in one fic, one of theeee tropes of all time, I have to include it nearly every time.

20. Canon Divergence

What if the plot diverged at certain point.

21. University

Whether the Doctor is a professor, Rose is a student, they meet in the same year, just set the fic in university or at a university.

22. Coffee Shop

This could be an AU, or the Doctor and Rose even just trying to order a drink in between alien invasions. Or a barista watching the Doctor and Rose fall in love through coffee.

23. Literature AU

I try to make most of the prompts canon adjacent, but this one is really meant to be an AU, pick between a piece of literature you like and put the Doctor and Rose in that situation.

24. Celebration

What if the Doctor and Rose were at a party? Or had something new to celebrate. This one is more simple but a bit more lowkey than Guests of Honor

25. Dimension Hopping

Just because traditional reunion fic isn’t on the prompts, doesn’t mean we can’t explore dimension hopping Rose and even what would happen if the Doctor saw her?

26. Messages

Texting, writing in chalk, emails, telepathy, explore the ways the Doctor and Rose communicate with each other.

27. Declaration(s) of Love

One of my favorite tropes and is it back again. We never got to see them say I love you properly.

28. “I would do anything for you”

Who would say this, and why?

29. Alien Cultural Differences

They meet a lot of aliens in their travels, but the Doctor is also an alien, explore the differences between Rose and the people she meets and knows and how that changes her and the Doctor’s relationship.

30. Devotion

This ties back to our first prompt, the Doctor and Rose show utter devotion to each other. We see it over and over again, show us.

And that’s our prompts for 2025! See you soon

P.S. a bonus prompt for whoever wants to write it and misses the 31 days

- Rescue

there's definitely an angle from which what happens to rose and especially jackie is horror... on the surface level they're in a perfect little nuclear family but go even a little deeper and the world is all wrong, their partners are identical to the men they love but not quite the same, they can never see their friends again but always run the risk of meeting identical copies who don't know them at all... what a strange and lonely world.

[regenderate]

my controversial opinion is that i think given the opportunity rose probably would let her hair go back to its natural color eventually... it's funny how "blonde" is such a staunch character trait for her in the eyes of most people when it's like... honestly quite impermanent.

[regenderate]

thinking about all the costume discourse from thirteen's regeneration into fourteen and i have to say i do think it was the right decision not to put david tennant in her costume, but it does make me wish david tennant hadn't come back solely and only because ncuti gatwa would've pulled off thirteen's costume effortlessly

[regenderate]

me normally: i like your outfit

me in the dimension where im always with a scary bug: me and my scary bug like your outfit

fic idea i probably won't write: thirteen runs out of fifteen's tardis determined to tell yaz she loves her but every time she's about to say it a looney tunes style mishap occurs and she never manages
