The Choices the Stars Make - 14th Doctor x reader

Summary: The Doctor promised you the stars when all you ever wanted was him. What happens when he’s finally ready to settle down? Will he reach out and try again?

Word count: 818

~~~~~~~~

You pull your blanket up higher as you turn to watch the stars shinning through the living room window. It does little to soothe the aching of your heart as your mind keeps spinning in “What ifs?”. What if you hadn’t left the doctor? What if you hadn’t asked him to stay?

You shake your head at the unfairness of the situation, turning your back on the cold stars, facing your laptop screen.

You squint at the brightness. The universe has never been fair. It wasn’t when you watched people crying out for your help die, and neither was it when you were forced to confess your true feelings to the Doctor. His discomfort and shift in body language did not surprise you, nor did his lack of touch in the weeks that followed. You just wish he hadn’t taken all of the joy of the night sky with him when you left.

Focus. You told yourself, but your heart sunk further, your fingertips getting cold on the plastic mousepad.

Observational Astronomy. A dry laugh forces its way out of your chest, making you feel hollow. You used to dance around the surfaces of planets, experience the sights never seen, the Tardis translating the x-ray and ultraviolet light spectrum for your eyes to witness true beauty of nebulas … now you’re finishing up a paper on observational astronomy and the photographs were in black and white. Life is funny like that. It feels like life lost some of the colour too. You wish it wasn’t 2am, life is easier to handle when you don’t have to stay up at night to work on something. Especially something that reminds you of him. Days are easier, warmth is easier. Warmth reminds you of joy of adventure, his hands, the kindness. Not his eyes when he left you.

~~~~~~~~

The Doctor did not seek you out. He did not wander the streets close to your house for too long. He did, however, made sure that no threats lingered close to your apartment at all times.

At least until his old face returned.

Oh so many regrets felt thrown back at his face. What he wasn’t able to give. The loved ones he lost… He grieved Rose for a long, long time, even after you met him. That same grief drove Martha away. Donna… River Song… He should have been able to save them all. How could he protect you if he couldn’t even keep his life as John Smith? And you knew. You saw him fall in love, you saw him live a normal life. He knows he hurt you beyond forgiveness when he grieved his human life and yet, despite all of that grief, did not choose to build one with you.

Seeing Donna again had him longing for the old days. The days of the three of you jumping through the universe, watching the joy on your faces! That was until the Earth got taken over by the Master he forced your feelings out in the open. Doctor could not deal with reliving his past through you. He couldn’t stomach losing you. He couldn’t make Donna go through the same darkness that Martha did when he was still grieving. Not to even mention Time Lord Victorious. His biggest regret. At least you were saved from watching it happen.

But now… now that he did not need to save the universe… now that he had someone else to entrust it to and now that the biggest decision of his day was how to protect the moles from Wilf… maybe he could give you the life you wanted after all.

~~~~~~

Your phone buzzed one day after the lectures and you instinctively answered it, expecting it to be one of your parents checking in. It was a rash decision you made to switch universities, but with all the stress of studying medicine and the flashbacks of lives you couldn’t save, switching to something familiar was an easier choice.

“Hello, yes, I’m still studying astronomy. No, I will not end up starving in the streets when I’m done.”

“…So you decided to study the stars?”

That… was not a voice you expected. Not that you would ever in a million years expect the Doctor to call you. He was someone who buried down feelings. He did not call ex-companions, only companions in trouble called him.

“… Doctor?” You chocked up. Funny. You planned to say so many things during all those sleepless nights and now all you could manage is “Is something wrong?”

On the other end of the line, the Doctor smiled a lopsided smile. It didn’t reach his eyes, but the words warmed his hearts. He still had time to turn back. He could run away and never look back.

But that soft kindness in your voice, even after all these years…

“Would you have some time to meet an old friend?”

Could you maybe write some hurt/comfort with the Ninth Doctor where he gives the reader a hug? Thank you very much

I absolutely can! sorry if this is pretty short, I decided to make what he's comforting the reader over pretty vague on purpose (and also apologies if he's ooc as I haven't really written for him before)

Comforting Touch (Ninth Doctor x reader)

Warnings: hurt/comfort, some angst (reader cries but it's not said over what), soft Ninth Doctor

Barely heard sobs filled the otherwise quiet room as you cried. Today was just not your day, it would seem.

Usually when you were this upset you would go see the Doctor for help, but the reasons why you were crying seemed so juveline and absurd, and you didn't want to bother him over something that didn't really matter.

It was almost as if your thoughts of insecurity had summoned him, because a few moments later you heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

You had your hands covering your face in a poor attempt to muffle your sounds of distress, but you were certain it was him. After all, who else could it be?

"Are you alright?" He asked in a gentle and quiet voice reserved only for you.

Shaking your head no, you opened your mouth in an effort to speak, so you could explain the problem, but all that came out was another broken sob.

The Doctor's face fell at the sound, and he immediately opened up his arms to you, bringing you in for a comforting hug. "Shh, shh. There, there. It's alright," he muttered in the most soothing tone he could muster, not wanting to upset you any further.

You pressed your face into his chest as you cried, tears streaming freely down your cheeks. The Doctor moved his hands down to your back as he held you, moving them along the tense muscles in slow and careful motions.

He didn't dare let go the entire time you were there for, wanting to make you feel as safe and loved as he possibly could. "It's okay, love. You're alright now."

Nodding your head at his words, you pulled away just enough so that you could look into his eyes. "Thank you," you whispered with gratitude, your tears having finally dried.

He smiled softly in response, giving you a caring look. "You're welcome, sweetheart."

i want an episode of doctor who where someone important to the doctor dies and all the pain and heartbreak of all their lives piles up and they get so broken and so full of hate that this keeps happening and why can’t they just be happy and why is the universe so cruel that they turn evil and then while out and about being evil and not giving a fuck about saving people they run into the master and the master is shook that the doctor has changed bc how? that’s impossible the doctor and the master are opposing forces! it’s their whole dynamic now everything’s out of balance! and so they make it their mission to show the doctor how much good there is in the universe and the doctor is cold and harsh and vulnerable and heartbroken but the master whisks the both of them off on an adventure to demonstrate all the brilliant wonderful extraordinary happy parts of the universe but what finally gets through to the doctor is that it’s the master showing them all this. they’re so far gone that the master is trying to fix them. and they realise that the both of them have more in common than they think and that they can see it from each other’s perspectives. and then they kiss

#i’m in a thoschei kinda mood #i feel like this would be really good character development for both of them #and then they’d go through a ‘i want to be with you’ ‘but we can’t we’re too different’ kinda trope #and they’d both forever mourn the fact that if the master could just give up their evil ways they could’ve been together #and then every future master/doctor scene in the rest of the show would have loads of tension bc they love each other #idk i just want some canon thoschei #and some dark doctor #doctor who #the doctor #the master #missy dw #dw #thoschei #twissy #doctor x master #doctor who angst #the doctor x the master #upon review this might have to be a two part special idk if we can cram all that into one ep

[chaosandsuns]

The doctor doesnt mourn like normal people. They dont mourn in the long stretch of time and crying. They cant. They keep moving, they keep running because they have to save people, as many people as they can. They cant stop or slow down.

The doctor mourns in the little things.

Its in Donna showing him Rose's shirt, and his hearts skip two beats as he tries to breathe and dont show dont show.

Its in "Rose would know what to do" because really, rose wouldnt. But it would have been easier to know he isnt the only one whos experienced and still feels lost.

Its in seeing the daleks again and remembering them on that awful spaceship and jackjackjack and they know Jack is alive but they cant completely push it away, can they? The Daleks took away another person they cared for.

Its in walking past hospitals and thinking "maybe martha is working in that one", but she isnt, because we are on a different planet and time entirely. Still, its a nice thought that brings a smile to their face.

Its in walking past a DVD shop and turning to martha to laugh about it and forgetting she isnt there.

Its in seeing a funny hat and thinking how he should show Donna before remembering that she forgot.

Its in seeing a redhead walking down the street and feeling the relief-ache-dread that surges through them as they run the other way. Its silly, because it isnt donna, it cant be. but still.

Its in the little things. Fish fingers and custard even after the ponds are gone. Seeing a library and feeling a distinct pain, even if River is walking right next to him. Never looking at a raven the same.

So they mourn. All the time. And they run and they remember.

What more can they do?

Do you ever want any fictional character to be real but at the same time don't. Like , take the doctor for example, who doesn't want a very kind hearted alien who can take you anywhere you want, but at the same time you don't want him to be real because you can't bear the thought of someone you care about so much to be sad, because the doctor has become this lovely , beautiful version because of all the hurt he had to go through, same goes with Patrick Jane from the Mentalist, I mean look at the guy with the most beautiful smile and kindest eyes, but you love those eyes because there's a tinge of sadness hidden in them, the tragedy that had happened to him is what made him the version we adore. Also not to forget, Sam and Dean Winchester, like they are beautiful people( not talking about looks only, that's obvious) but they are beautiful, because they have gone through all these tragedies. All these characters I want so badly to be real , but not go through all this hurt at the same time, but they won't be the same without it.

Y/N: God knows where he is right now, but I promise you, he's doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me! And I'm just fine with that. Charlie: Y/N- Y/N: When you love the Radio Demon, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back. And if I happen to find myself in danger, let me tell you, Alastor is not stupid enough, or sentimental enough, and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me! (Turns around and locks eyes with Alastor) Y/N: ... Alastor: Hello sweetie...

POV: You're Alastor's estranged partner who hasn't seen him in the 7 years he was gone and visited the hotel when you heard the rumors he was staying there.

Doctor Who: s04e13, "Journey's End"

[voice of rtd] hey what if your best friend in the whole entire universe absorbed a fractured piece of your consciousness to save you (and whole of reality) from total destruction? and what if she was human—too desperately, brilliantly, tragically human—and the searing, deadly heat of all that knowledge was too much for her mind to bear? and what if the only way to pull her back from the edge of annihilation involved wiping all memory of you from her mind? and what if she could never be allowed to remember you? but as long as she was out there, somewhere, alive, then that was enough. then that had to be enough, because what other choice is there? and what if the story ends as it always does, as it always has— with you, in an empty spaceship, alone, at the edge of the universe? ... would that be fucked up or WHAT? hahaha

i think with doctor who you just have to get silly with it

#doctor who #it's fun! #important: sometimes getting silly with it means delving into unbearable amounts of angst #and that's fun also

[hoper-n-dreamer]

Random rants , angst trope.

Do you also love angst fanfics, because I remember liking the stories in which the "reader" gets hurt in any scenario and the comfort character is holding the reader gently, and crying for the "reader" and saying how much they mean to them. It might be obvious for many but for a long time I didn't think about it , but now I realise that it might be the favourite trope of some people because it's a way of knowing that you are worth saving, and you mean something to your favourite comfort character. And this validation is needed because in real life many people might have either taken you for granted or you just might have little self esteem due to the situations in your life. I think this feeling stems from the need of being loved by the people you love, you being there for them and vice a versa. I mean writing it now it sounds kind of obvious but sometimes we seem to ignore the cause of certain preferences. And people think that they can only know how much they are valued , when put in certain extreme situations like life and death, or physical hurt , it's almost like you can't be sure if someone really cares about you until you are put in a situation that puts the other party in a scary situation where they might lose you.

Maybe I used to read too much supernatural , Marvel and doctor who fanfics.
