Clara/12th Doctor fic recs (One shots)

*Multichapter    ~my notes

Angel Of The Morning

The message on the psychic paper was short and to the point: I’m looking for the best doctor in the universe – dickwads and time wasters need not apply. Not their usual kind of thing, not that anything they really did counted as usual.

But a summons is a summons... although much to Clara and the Doctor's consternation, they discover that the red-suited sender is just as blunt and foul-mouthed in person.

Keep My Glass Full

Clara hadn't even wanted to attend the party, not really. But Nina had insisted, and so now here she is, determined to have a good time... even if all she can think about is a certain Scottish Time Lord. When things take a sour turn, she realises how much she needs him to take care of her.

Baby Please Come Home

The Doctor had brought them carefully back to London, right after they'd left - or so he'd said. In fact, they're in Glasgow... and he's made a slight temporal error regarding the date of arrival. Suddenly alone and uncertain of what to do, Clara turns to a policeman for help, only to learn that she's been reported as a missing person... and the bad news doesn't end there...

I See The Hope In Your Heart

At Coal Hill, Clara Oswald is not a five foot two saver of alien worlds, occasional Time-Lord-hand-holder and all-round genius. She is, instead, a five foot two English teacher with a fondness for the Regency Era and a full-time preoccupation with her students' welfare, occasional coffee-drinker, and general force to be reckoned with. But when one of her students begins to act strangely, Clara has to work out how best to handle the situation... and she ends up finding help from an unusual source.

~Trigger warning for mentions of self harm

O Christmas Tree

Alone with only the Michael Bublé Christmas Special for company, Clara had resigned herself to not getting into the Christmas spirit - unless that spirit was gin. So when the Doctor turns up with a real Christmas tree for her flat, she's touched by the gesture... until six hours later, when the tree starts to warble well-known seasonal songs at maximum volume.

The Christmas Spirit

When her phone rings in the middle of the night, Clara is surprised to find Osgood calling. She's even more surprised to discover that the world isn't ending, but instead she's needed to come and collect a drunk Doctor from the UNIT Christmas party.

The Teacher and the Visualizer

What would you do if you had access to a device that recorded everything that ever happened in time and space? If you're Clara, you look for the equivalent of funny cat videos and embarrassing old images of the Doctor.

Child of Mine

The Doctor said bringing a new human aboard the Tardis would be a distraction, he was right...

Composing a Symphony

Clara wakes to an unexpected serenade by an unexpected source.

The Last and Yet

Prompt: Write a twelveclara fanfic based in In The Forest Of The Night, in which the Doctor is wrong about the solar flares and the earth is destroyed, therefore Clara becomes the last one of her kind.

Like Stars

Twelve and Clara have a quiet evening of babysitting.

Effective Escape Plans

Trapped down an alley, with guards encroaching, the Doctor and Clara need to come up with a plan to paper over the petty theft, drunkenness, and bickering.

Voicemails

Occasionally the Doctor spams Clara's voicemail box. Going through them usually provides an entertaining way to decompress after class.

please, just see me

Please, just see me, she hears him beg, the memory of his voice hers and hers alone.

Because the man sitting before her could no longer see her.

With-holding

After a relaxing trip to Peramus IV, Doctor gets a bit uncharacteristically handsy with Clara, and she's determined to figure out why.

Through His Eyes

Tumblr prompt: Bodyswap!

Clara comes to better understand some things about The Doctor, incuding why he shys away from her touch.

Tiny Human

The Doctor and Clara babysit for Rigsy. Fluff ensues.

Never Cross A Time Lord (or Those He Cares For)

Something's bothering Clara and she won't say what, which causes the Doctor to worry.

Youth

After a run-in with the Sisterhood of Karn, the Doctor comes over to Clara's looking a little different than normal. young!12 AU

It's All Been Done

Clara time travels in dreams but she thinks it’s just dreams and thinks nothing of it. She also keeps meeting a man named Doctor in her dreams, but she thinks he is just a figment of her imagination until one days she collides with him in real life. She thinks she has finally gone crazy.

Temples, Dreams, and A Nudge in the Right Direction

The Doctor and Clara travel to a planet and do a favor for a local, which prompts them to do something both had been holding back from.

Twist and Shout

Clara and the Doctor get separated during a Mardis Gras parade on New New Orleans, leading Clara to have to find him again. The Doctor causes shenanigans once they are reunited.

Carer & Caretaker

The Doctor and Clara take care of each other when they're ill. Post Last Christmas

A Duty of Care

“Please, don’t even argue,” he said, holding out his hand. Clara saw not only the fear in his eyes, but the hope that she would take his hand and they would run off, travelling happily ever after. She wanted to, she really did, and would have had it not been for one tiny detail. Leaning forward, she kissed him on the cheek; a kind, tender gesture.

“I… this isn’t an argument,” she replied.

~Babyfic, super cute

miles to go

“Clara, why would you want to go for a boring old run when we could just pop over to Galafaxorous, accidentally insult the king’s malodorous son, and then be chased by his brain-sucking guards?”

Sometimes Clara has nightmares, but she learns how to cope.

Hay and Elephants

The Doctor and an injured Clara seek shelter from a winter storm. Huddling for warmth ensues.

Green Blaze

The town is called Mistletoe. Clara objects, because those are tumbleweeds, not mistletoe, and she can tell the difference.

Teacups

He was a teacup that could be dropped. He knew it because he'd been dropped before. He was a teacup that had been mended over and over.

Things to remember, a partial list

He is not an idiot. He has a perfectly functioning mind, if not a perfectly functioning memory, and he knows the sound of an early-model TARDIS when he hears one.

Solar flares

Two sentient stellar beings, in close orbit around each other, exchanging plasma, in an epic romance that had taken millennia to consummate. One would envelope the other in a few million years, and then they would burst outward in a supernova, bringing their love to a spectacular end. Their light and their love would be ash, but not now, and not any time soon. Today, now, in the glory days of their love -- or so the Doctor described it -- their names swirled across their surfaces as sunspots, dots and whorls in the plasma. The written language of stars.

The Edge of the World

The Doctor remembers Clara, his memories return in a flood, and he makes some questionable choices. Luckily Clara is there to pick up the peices

For Better, For Worse, For You

Clara notices the Doctor changed in ways that are more "suited" for her between 11 and 12.

On Some Planets, You Realize, This Means We're Married

Post-Christmas reunion, the Doctor and Clara go for a little peaceful togetherness time. "Bonding ritual" is taken a bit too literally.

(Major Whouffaldi fluff, for which I would apologize if I was sorry.)

Feeling a bit rough

Sometimes things get to Clara.

Bathtime

Pretty much what it says on the tin. Bubble beards, splashfights, hoodie sharing/stealing...

Storms

Of all the things that might potentially put a Timelord straight to sleep, it had to be something that Clara had good reason to avoid.

Dusk

He's been chasing her since Christmas. She's finally too tired to keep pretending she's fine.

Mercy

She's had enough of thinking she heard his voice, of waking up to everything looking the same when it's far from it. She's had it with mourning someone who is still alive. Post Hell Bent, whouffaldi reunion fic.

Recalculating

Prompt: Clara and the Doctor being domestic in the TARDIS, Doctor busy fixing something or writing maths on the black board, so Clara flys the TARDIS like its second nature.

Not a Bother at All

Prompt: Could you do a story where it's Twelve taking care of Clara instead of Eleven?

Announcements

How do two different Doctors take the same news five years apart? (Clara, baby, fluffiness.)

Back Up Again

(Prompt) Clara is hurt from the radiation in Into the Dalek and she blacks out/ has hallucinations

Jigsaw

(Prompt) Twelve reads to Clara? (A little off the prompt, more about telling stories, and sharing an adventure.)

That Subtle Knot

The Doctor tells his story, then reaches out to touch the waitress's hand. And freezes.

To Days To Come

The Twelfth Doctor and Clara accidentally meet a future incarnation of the Doctor. They both get a small nudge towards living life to the fullest. Set sometimes before Face the Raven.

Zero Hour

One final trip before Clara goes back to face the raven...

we're so delicate

Clara has to cope with multiple losses while still living in the present. Eventually, she discovers she isn’t alone.

Not Quite a Lullaby

Nearly being murdered inside a Dalek is more than mildly traumatizing. The Twelfth Doctor and Clara both emotionally vulnerable after the fact, especially as it relates to Clara's need for sleep.

The Memory of Sunrise

Twelve and Clara end up stuck on an island overnight and Clara takes the opportunity to explore just why the Doctor changed so much when he regenerated and what exactly happened on Trenzalore.

No Stranger to You

From a prompt on Tumblr: ""Get out of the way!" also 12/clara and if you dont like those then maybe "You look like you could use a hand." ? :))))". Angst and righteous, justified anger in regards to what Clara’s had to endure, and the little regard paid to that trauma. Alternate ending to Deep Breath.

~I really like this. A lot of people seem to dislike Clara, and I do think she can be a bit much sometimes. However, I really liked this season sue to the fact that she set herself very clear lines and tried her best to stay with them. The way the Doctor was written was inconsistent during this season, and I don’t think it was fair the way he treated her.

Christmas with the Oswalds

The Doctor ends up spending Christmas with the Oswalds, and Clara changes her feelings about that as the evening progresses.

Partly inspired by a prompt asking for a mistletoe kiss.

Five Little Sparks

The Doctor might like a bit of bossy, and it takes a few times for Clara to realize.

Cooking Clara

Twelve and Clara enjoy the figurative fruits of culinary labour, with absolutely absurd results. (from a Tumblr prompt asking for Clara to make omurice and for Twelve to find himself oddly addicted to it.)

Permission to Own a Cat

Clara gets a cat. The cat refuses to follow the Doctor's rules for life on the Tardis.

that talent for insatiability

or: The Doctor and Clara chalk it up to fate. au.

Clara Oswald & Her Bad Influence Friend

A dumb short AU where the TARDIS is a shitty car and Twelve is some shady dude Clara knows and everyone at Coal Hill is like "wtf who is this guy and how does Ms. Oswald know him." Absolute crack.

the carer & the caretaker [video]

It’s the oldest story in the universe: the carer and the caretaker fall in love, which travels across all of time and space. It’s a love story, of sorts.

Get behind the universe

Chin tucked, eyebrows lowered, eyes deep in their cadaverous sockets and full of small-scale, personal murder. The Doctor is furious at the ill treatment she has received.

don't see you for one week and the fellow suddenly decides he's in need of a proper secondary school education!"

The Souffle

Pure Whouffaldi Fluff as the Doctor tries to help Clara on her quest for the perfect soufflé.

Sky All Full of Stars

Clara Oswald thinks, You can love someone without liking them all the time. Twelve, Clara, and a surprise appearance by a surprise guest. Surprise! (No spoilers.)

From the Garden You Can See the Wild Wood

Twelve/Clara Red Riding Hood AU.

Under the Weather

Clara is sick. What on earth is the Doctor doing with her tea kettle?

The Strategist

Victorious Queen Clara's guards bring her a captive that suit her very specific tastes: gray-haired and lean. This one isn't what he appears to be, however.

The Deep and Lovely Dark

The Doctor is afraid to sleep and eventually it catches up with him.

Stars on his fingers

"I just want-- I want a night in. At home. With quiet company. While my ankle is all swollen like this. I want a pajama party."

The Doctor heard "quiet company" and knew he could provide that. And possible he'd take the opportunity to do something sneaky and helpful with her ankle. He clapped his hands together. "Right! A pajama party you shall have."

Sittin' in a Tree

The Doctor's jumper is full of holes, and Clara can't seem to help herself....

lay your armor down

A spot of completely non-sexual dom!Clara and sub!Twelve.

Unravel

This is who he is now, what he's chosen to become.

make a dragon wanna retire, man

Clara walks into the console room on a Monday and announces, without preamble, “I think we should get a pet.”

if you're looking for heaven

It'll take some getting used to, but he does like it. Liked it the old way too. In fact, to an extent that might be worrying, he likes a lot of things Clara chooses to do or say or wear. (He doesn't want to use the word besotted when it comes to her but, well...)

Twelve and Clara. After Christmas they just keep running.

Winterlong

"Gallifrey is back, in some pocket somewhere it was never meant to be in, churning up the rest of the universe like meat in a grinder, and the Doctor is full of golden energy and regeneration chemicals that he hasn't had to handle for hundreds of years. He's full of memories, too; she knows that he's left some things unsaid, dreams of centuries of blood and fire that wake him with quiet gasps more often than he thinks she knows. She knows that there's more beyond that which he doesn't tell her. A time lord is not meant to cope with these things alone. " Or: A series of scenes from the start of their first winter together through the end of their first winter.

Watermark

Do you know what the big problem is in telling fantasy and reality apart? They're both ridiculous.

Bad Dreams

Clara Oswald has dreams. She doesn't always like them.

Set post-The Witch's Familiar and involves spoilers (like a fair amount), so if you haven't seen Series 9 Episodes 1 and 2, I'd hold off on reading this.

Returning Echoes

After the events of 'Listen', Clara starts to experience strange dreams, thoughts and feelings. The echoes of her shattered selves begin to catch up with her. Can the Doctor help?

Honesty Mature

Set immediately after "Last Christmas." Neither of them will admit they're addicted to each other, but they've both been through the withdrawal and the effects can't go unaddressed.

What I Mean To Say Is Mature

What happened between the Doctor finding Clara inside of the Dalek, and them making their great escape to the Tardis? We might never know, but I needed to explore a what-if...

Time Period: Four days in late September, roughly 3 months after Death in Heaven.

Repairs Mature

The Doctor rescues Clara in the nick of time, but that's not the end of it.

The Thief Mature

The Doctor just smashed up the TARDIS console, but he needs to get away from there. He shoves his fingers into the telepathic matrix and goes... somewhere. He doesn't care where. The TARDIS cares, however. This is what happened in between the visit to Gallifrey and the meeting in the cafe.

Writing to Reach You Mature

Clara's not been feeling herself lately, and it just keeps getting worse.

Or: Written based off rumours of who Missy is (sort of), and sort of based on trailers for Dark Water and the Finale.

Post Season 8, before Last Christmas. Earth is suffering the ravages of the worst storm in recorded history and Clara suspects an extra-terrestrial reason. But if it’s something alien what’s it got to do with the Doctor and can Clara come to terms with her own personal tempest of feelings when the Time Lord crashes back into her life?

Twisted Terrors Mature

"He has this incessant urge to get involved in other people’s business, this saviour complex that makes him think the lives of others are his responsibility, but it took Danny Pink dying to make her see the error in that assumption."

The Wedding Tree Mature

For once an encounter with an advanced civilization was not going to end in war, catastrophe, disaster, or even a pell-mell run toward something or away from something. It was just a lovely thank-you ceremony for the two of them, that's all, followed by a lovely night high up in a tree house. With one bed. Wait.

Conjunction Mature

All of time and space, out there in a blue box. Where do they go first, and what do they do? The Doctor shows Clara a wonder.

for you alone i will be weak Mature

The Doctor and Clara reunite and carry on.

Come Back In Two Halves Mature

Doctor Oswald and The Clara embark on an exciting adventure of existential panic.

So let us melt Mature

The Doctor explains to Clara why he's alone, even when he's holding her. She does something about it.

The Seen & Unseen Life of a Carer & Her Time Lord Mature

Clara remembers the Doctor is very alien, but it doesn't really matter too much. Post-Last Christmas.

Come Back In Two Halves Mature

Doctor Oswald and The Clara embark on an exciting adventure of existential panic.

tessellate Explicit

So. They're just people who live together and touch each other sometimes.

Control Explicit

Clara's immune system is reset and she and the Doctor must deal with the resulting plethora of illnesses that result all at once, including one that can't be immediately seen. Lots of gratuitous fluff, some plot, and more smut than I think I have the capacity to ever write again.

Boy From School Explicit

"How did the Skovox Blitzer end up in the school where I teach? Why there?" She looked up and shot him a dirty, knowing look. "The school has been there for years. No aliens, no strange happenings…I

Chocolate Powder (Slow Warmed Then Whisked) Explicit

Clara and the Doctor share a nightly ritual now she's full time on the TARDIS but its about to change. Whouffaldi. Smut angst fluff. E/M rating. Post Last Christmas. One shot.

~New addition. Edited 3/9/2017

Love Is

But it was what had brought them to this point: kneeling together on an ancient, dirt-caked circuit board, so close and yet – separated by the one thing that had always kept them apart. The one thing that might have made everything different if only they had the courage to *talk* to each other. Hell Bent missing scene.
