You kknow what i really need to read? Fanfics of Crowley interacting with his earthly friends.
Stories of how he met Da Vinci, of how he told him his nature and showed him his eyes. Story of nights they spent engineering and designing new tools to explore the earth, and maybe later the universe. Stories of Crowley encouraging him to draw the Mona Lisa, or giving him details of the Last Supper: who was next to whom, who drank what, who ate what, and what Juda exactly did that night. Stories of them travelling together, from one patron to another, talking about science and art. And maybe a little about Aziraphale too.
I want stories of Crowley meeting Copernic, Gallileo, and the great astronomers of their time. Watching them get closer to the truth, rediscovering truths that their ancestors knew already, but Crowley loved them anyway, because they asked questions. Because they exploited loopholes. Because they stood to the Church.
I want stories with Shakespeare, where they brainstorm witty plays and romantic lines. And I want stories of Crowley and Jane Austen, going on crazy spy adventures and going home right on time for the night's ball.
I want Crowley to have been there on the moon as Appolo 11 landed, watching his protégés get closer to his stars. Hell didn't hear about it, and they didn't need to.
And stories about Crowley and his love for plants. Wouldn't it be funny, if he was in Madame de Pampadour's suite ? "Amazing gardner", remember? "I am infiltrating the french royal court to spread overspending and abuse of power", he could tell Hell. None of that would be true, of course. The french didn't need him for that. No, he was there for the gardens, the ducks, and Madame de Pampadour's delicious company. When she died, she left him a letter, and an incentive to keep care of her garden. He did, till the revolution came. And when he fled, he took the seeds and planted them in St James' park.

Ya'll ever stop to think about this piece of dialogue in Human Nature when Ten is going to use the Chameleon Arch:
DOCTOR: That's why I've got to do it. I have to stop being a Time Lord. I'm going to become human. Never thought I'd use this. All the times I've wondered.
Like, imagine him sitting in the console room staring at it while Rose is sleeping just wondering what it would be like to become human, being tempted, wishing for the one adventure he can never have.
And this being in a two-parter where we have these lines "That's all I want to be. John Smith, with his life, and his job, and his love. Why can't I be John Smith?" That to me seems more like Ten seeping through in the way he did through John's dreams...
Anyways. Just hitting me real hard today 🥹

I think the main difference between the 10Donna and 14Donna is that they're both fucking OBSESSED with each other and a little bit insane about it but 10Donna are like *holding hands* if anything happens to my girl (which is both of them btw) I'm blowing up everyone in this building <3 while 14Donna are like. Don't worry. We're gonna get a good grade in Normal Human Friendship. Neither of us will self-destruct this time if we lose the other one. In fact due to [living thousands of years without me][having a family of her own] I'm sure they don't even WANT anything beyond a casual and cool and suuuppper chillllll friendship anyway <- lying through their teeth. Have not realized that literally everyone can see them acting like pair-bonded stray cats that start crying out if they're separated for more than an hour

[just after having helped River make a getaway from a heist of an astatine lace shawl — the rarest substance in the universe — without her even needing to ask beyond a simple “hello sweetie” scrawl in the sky]
[Eleventh Doctor] “I can see its worth — but Alice is right! What’s so special about a lace shawl?”
[River] “Ah, well, lace, you see, is the traditional gift for a thirteenth wedding anniversary…”
[Eleventh Doctor] “Wedding anniversary? Whose wedding anniversary?”
[River] “Spoilers…!” *winks*
[Thirteenth Doctor, reminiscing] “I love River.”
HAPPY THIRTEENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO THE DOCTOR AND RIVER SONG!

Y’all ever stare at a mad sun until you are filled with its power and rage and wrath and end up losing yourself to the burning pain that is its incomprehensible presence, smoldering away until you are nothing but a memory in others’ minds, and idea of the person you were mere hours ago, while the sun uses your now empty body as a vessel with which it can torment those you love with the concept of “you” violently murdering them by boiling them from the inside out until they join you in ash and flame
