right, so, as I was questioning the whole "why did the clockwork droids say rose was compatible?" it made me think of a fun fic idea where the droids are able to scan rose earlier and find her “compatible” or whatever, and now the episode is about finding a way to stop the droids, hoping that they don't lose their attention of trying to get rose, and making sure neither rose nor reinette are murked along the way

and, yeah, if the droids are focused on rose, they could just hop in the tardis and leave. but then, where does that leave history?

but at the same time, dilemma for the doctor by staying and consciously, actively deciding to put rose in harm's way, which I feel could be another fun “I could save the world but lose you” “do it” except a hell of a lot more tense between the two of them

like, I can just see a very upset and snappish doctor having to choose to stay on the ship with the droids bc this bit of history CAN'T be rewritten, except...

rose, and everything that just happened with sarah jane smith, and remembering that rose can very well leave him and die and will die eventually but could die NOW if he doesn't figure out how to save the day quick enough

and rose, also on edge from last episode, but also bc oh my god she's being hunted down like game for this insane ship repair. but also, would never ask him not to choose this, just also please please figure this out as quick as you can doctor bc she'd really rather not die ta

or like, imagine him going into rose's head, but it's horrible for them both bc he wants to soo bad, but not like this, never because of this. and she's just had bloody casandra rummaging around in there just a while ago, it can't be nice to have even MORE picking through her thoughts and memories. and, ohhh, I bet he'd be furious at how much rose has been messed with by casandra and the droids and then by him himself even if he means well, only wants to help

anyhow, I just think that'd be fun to read. surprised it's not been done before!

#if this has been done before someone should send me the link cause clearly I'm missin out #this feels such an obvious idea but also I suppose I never thought of it before now so #also with the doctor acting like that. he's just sooo stressed. this is like the WORST situation he could imagine them being in atm #other than straight up losing her or her going home #he has to choose? between her? and some other girl? except that other girl is vital to everything but rose is his rose? #RIGHT AFTER their talk outside the diner? and just absolutely everything that went down with sarah jane and mickey? fuckkk him man #and poor rose. literally has to be a good sport about this entire thing. no other choice #I mean she could ask to leave but she never would #I really hope someone expands upon this fdnjfnj it'd be suchhhh a fun deviation while still staying close enough the og #timepetals #tenrose #tenth doctor #rose tyler #doctor who
