#(i have an au where rose & tentoo somehow end up collecting all of the alt versions of the doctor's future companions

[yesokayiknow]

can i hear some of your thoughts on the year that never was?

uh ye okay here’s some unconnected thoughts:

There Should Be More Things Said About It. specifically the aftermath. i would like many many fics that have martha (& jack & the joneses & lucy & various unit staff) dealing with the trauma bc I Want To See Them Grow I Want To See Them Heal

martha refused another trip, and rightly so, but i like to think that she meets up with twelve for tea sometimes, and he just. listens (he hasn’t worked out yet whether he should tell her about the person in his basement. he’s weighing the pros & cons)

personally i don’t think that like. the whole year of the universe was erased, i think that it was only earth that got rewound, so its a year out of sync with the rest of the universe (well, probably a lot more than a year, considering how much shit various time lords have stirred up around here). mainly bc the universe(s) is Big and earth is like. less than microscopic, and i think time wouldn’t be affected by such a small rip

i think that amy remembers it, in some way or other. she can remember things that others can’t after all (and, of course, depending on when exactly she dies, she may have lived through it twice). i don’t think that river can remember, bc river’s childhood was a cycle of memory wipes and unwritten moments and things that never happened, & i think her mind must’ve gotten good at papering over the cracks (i do wonder how many versions of her were on earth at the time though)

(idk how clara’s memory works, bc it seems to be pretty self healing, but she did see a LOT in name of the doctor, including the ytnw. clara exiting the doctor’s timestream now able to remember what happened would be o o f & f u n)

rose 🤝 martha; losing a year of their life bc of the doctor (you judge how inadvertently)

martha wasn’t the only one of the doctor’s companions to spend a large period of time being constantly hunted & having to remain undercover from an oppressive psychic force, & then having nearly nobody else on earth remember it (& ooh boy i could talk all day abt hm how ~funny~ it is that that experience sure happened to the doctor’s (then) only 2 main black companions), and i like to think that bill visits her sometimes. it’s always good to have someone else who can in some way understand what you went through
