DW 'fic': Who?
So, I’ve written this... thing. It started out as a very silly ‘what if?’ scenario in a reply to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kathyh, involving the casting spoiler for ‘Turn Left’, and then just evolved through numerous other comments, ending up being crossed with one of my own AU ‘verses (the perfection of this crossover had not previously struck me. I am thinking that something might have gone wrong with my brain). (No knowledge of that 'verse needed for the purposes of reading this nonsense btw!) Anyway, it’s... well I guess it’s crack!fic. Yes it has [casting spoiler] in it, but apart from that I think it’s as different from canon as is possible. Also lots of silliness and snark. But it kept me sane throughout last week when I was rushed off my feet, and I figured maybe others wouldn’t mind a bit of fluff to take the edge of RL when it gets horrid. Also, parts of this were written by Kathy, who is awesome! :) (Oh and sorry ‘bout the title, couldn’t think of anything better I’m afraid, and the style is sort of script-like. Sorry again.)
ETA: Changed the title. And do I talk to much? Sorry, but I just can't help rambling...
Title: Who?
Characters: Doctor, ensemble, OC.
Rating: PG-13 (some swearing).
Spoilers: S4.
Summary: Wildly AU crack!fic. Rose came back, the world was saved without any clones or mindwipes and life is bright and beautiful...
Disclaimer: So, *so* not mine!
Word count: A bit less than 2000 words.
Who?
Beautiful alien planet with convenient human-friendly atmosphere. The Doctor & Rose have been strolling around and are now returning to the TARDIS. Suddenly a tiny spaceship appears & Jenny gets out.
Doctor [floored]: Jenny! You're alive!
Jenny: Dad! I found you!
*big hug*
Rose [floored] mouths 'dad?'
Jenny [excited]: ...and so, after saving 27 planets and doing lots and lots of running, I thought I'd come and find you, so I worked out how to do time travel and here I am!
Doctor: Oh you're brilliant! That's my girl!
*another hug*
Rose [still floored] mouths 'my girl?'
Doctor [turns to Rose]: Rose! This is Jenny - my daughter!
Rose [still floored]: D-daughter?
Doctor [proudly grinning]: M-hm!
Rose [still floored]: But...
The Doctor winks at Rose and then takes Jenny to show her the TARDIS (where Donna and Jack are waiting).
Jenny: ZOMG it’s bigger on the inside!
Doctor [smug]: I’ll show you how later!
Jack: Hel-lo! And who are you?
Doctor: Stop it!
Jenny: Oh, I don't mind...
The Doctor leans casually against the TARDIS control panel. The TARDIS lurches suddenly, the doors fly unexpectedly open and Jack hurtles out into space.
Doctor [innocently]: Oh dear. How did that happen?
Donna & Rose: OMG! Save him! Save him!
Doctor: Oh don't worry. We'll go back and save him in a bit. Time travel and all that. He'll have at least 30 seconds' air!
Jenny: But Dad-
Doctor: Jenny... no!
Jenny: But-
Doctor: No! Be quiet!
Donna: He’s impossible, but you know that. Give us a hug!
*Jenny and Donna hug*
10 minutes later the door bursts open and Jack comes in.
Jack [grumpy]: That wasn't funny!
Doctor: No... it was a warning. Don't hit on my daughter!
Jack [eyes lighting up even more than before]: Your daughter?
Donna & Rose: But how? But why? He should be dead!
Jenny: Dad! Will you listen now? Why does he feel all... wrong?
Jack [pouting]: Damn. Stupid Timelords and their stupid senses.
Doctor: Ha! This is excellent - I should have thought of that sooner!
Jack: No kidding! I died four times!
Donna & Rose: ????
Suddenly there's a bright flash, and a young blond man appears in the middle of the TARDIS, holding some technological thingamajig.
Stranger: Doctor - it worked! I did it!
*hugs the Doctor vigourously*
Doctor: ???
Stranger [looks around]: No... wait... where's dad? And why's Jack here and... [takes in Rose, Donna and Jenny] who are you? [suddenly stares at Jenny intensely] Holy... Oh my god she's Timelord! Where the hell am I? Or rather when? Doctor - did I accidentally go back before the Time War? I mean - that's not possible, right?
Doctor: Who are you? And how did you get inside my TARDIS... [suddenly stunned] You're a Timelord too!
Stranger [thinks hard and looks at his thingamajig]: I'm in another universe! Well that’s... unexpected. [looks at Jenny again] Oh no - you're my sister, aren't you? Where's dad?
Doctor: I'm her father!
Stranger: You? [laughs delightedly] Fantastic! But... wait... who's her mother?
Donna: She's a 'randomly generated anomaly' - Jenny for short. I'm Donna, this is Rose and who are you?
Stranger [floored]: The Rose?
Rose [impatiently]: Yes, the Rose. And Donna had a question - who are you?
Stranger: I'm the Seeker - the Master's son! Known as Alexander Saxon in human circles.
Jack & the Doctor [floored]: That's impossible!
Seeker [grinning]: Not impossible - just a little unlikely. [points to Jack] He's the impossible one!
Jack [rolls eyes]: Oh come on, not again!
Seeker: What? You're the single most incredible thing in the entire universe! I'd spend my life studying you if only you'd let me!
Jack [perking up]: I think I like you, even if you are the Master's son!
Seeker: Speaking of whom - where is he? My dad - I mean the Master. Off somewhere sulking as usual?
Doctor: What... no. He's... he's dead.
Seeker: Dead? But he's a Timelord, he can't die!
Jack [soberly]: His wife shot him, and he... refused to regenerate.
Seeker: Mum shot him?
Donna: OK! Time out! What are you talking about?
Lengthy explanations follow, mostly concerning the fact that the Seeker was born during The Year That Wasn’t, and because of him the Master agreed to be the Doctor’s prisoner. Oh and they discuss Rose’s return too, of course. Feel free to come up with your own ideas for that one!
Doctor: Well... that's all well and good, but you don't look like you were born last year!
Seeker [frowns]: Damn. I really did mess up the time! Although I think I know what happened... I'm 23 by the way. [studies thingamajig] See this thing has a variable built in so I can track anyone anywhere or anywhen, but obviously it needed stabilising more than I thought since I ended up here... [long technical mumbo-jumbo whilst showing off the thing that brought him over from the parallel word, and the Doctor gets very excited]
Doctor: That's brilliant! I mean... really, truly innovative!
Seeker [preens]: Oh I never get tired of hearing you say that. Actually - I want to make sure to keep these co-ordinates. Would you mind if I fixed it a bit?
Without waiting for the Doctor's permission he runs round the TARDIS console, pulls up a grate and starts looking through boxes.
Seeker: Amazing! You've got tons of tetra-leads and brand-new Beryllium plates! My Doctor’s TARDIS has not been this well-stocked since I was three! You know, I'm sure the only reason he let me have my own lab when I was only 16 is so that I'd stop nicking all his stuff!
He grins impishly and the Doctor can just stare.
Seeker [with every ounce of charm he possesses, which is rather a lot]: Jenny... would you mind giving me a hand?
Jenny [happily]: Sure!
They set to work and Rose, Donna and Jack burst out laughing at the look on the Doctor's face.
Donna: You know, I think this is probably the Timelord equivalent of eating all the biscuits and then clearing out your wallet! I can just see it 'Dad! I'm off with my mates - I'll just borrow the TARDIS, OK?'
Rose and Jack: *splutters*
Seeker: Not far off, although he never, ever lets me borrow the TARDIS! [tilts head musingly] Although on the other hand he did get me my own spaceship when I was 18!
Rose: omg!
Donna: Just how spoiled are you?
Seeker: I am - or I was [admires Jenny some more] - the last child of the most incredible race in the entire universe. It's kinda easy to get your own way. [catches Jenny's eyes] Seriously, you can get away with just about anything!
Rose [drolly]: Not exactly lacking in confidence, huh?
Seeker: I'm brilliant, and I know it.
Donna: So are all Timelords just hopelessly arrogant?
Seeker: Guess so. Also one of my first memories is being worshipped by the whole Earth. Feel free to blame my father for screwing me up!
Jenny [studying him carefully]: One of my first memories is being handed a gun and told to fight.
The Seeker mulls this over.
Seeker: You know, I'm honestly not sure which is worse. Anyway - thank you! It's all fixed now.
Jenny: My pleasure. Actually... I set up my ship with a rudimentary time travel system, but it
really could do with some work. Would you...
Seeker: Oh absolutely! Just wait till you see what my sonic screwdriver can do!
Doctor [finally finding his voice again]: That's- [splutters] You're as bad as him! [points to Jack]
Seeker [grins]: Oh Jack and I are like that [holds up twinned fingers] and I’m a fast learner! [turns to Jenny] So, where did you say you'd parked your ship?
He turns to the console and casually starts pressing buttons and pulling levers.
Doctor [pushes him aside]: OK that's enough! This is my TARDIS, and I think it's time to lay down some rules!
He glares at the Seeker who suddenly looks a little nervous.
Doctor: You think you can just swan in here like you own the place, turn everyone's head and take charge?
Seeker [smug, but with a serious edge]: Don't like the mirror, Doctor?
Rose, Donna, Jack & Jenny all make sure to keep their faces carefully neutral.
Doctor [suddenly deadly serious]: No. Because if you really are the Master's son, there are two things you would know: One, that I am not going to believe a single word you say, and two, that you are the last man in this - or any universe - that I want chatting up my daughter!
Seeker [with about five different expressions on his face]: I understand. Goodbye Doctor. Jenny - get him to tell you about Gallifrey. Knowing your past is important.
He presses a button on his thingamajig and vanishes.
Jenny: Dad! You - you made him go away!
Doctor: ...
In the Seeker's universe.
TARDIS door opens and the Seeker comes in, still holding the device. His spaceship can be glimpsed outside.
Doctor: Where have you been? Didn't it work? But I made sure to double-check everything - not that I don’t trust you, obviously, but you know, just in case something went wrong...
Master: Wait, did something finally happen? I'm afraid I almost died of boredom.
Seeker [talking to the Doctor]: Oh it worked. Just... not quite how I planned it.
Doctor: Well I did say that you should have used hyperlinks and not tetra-leads. [grins]
Shall we get to work then?
Seeker: No no. I've locked the variable.
Doctor [waves arms around in Doctorly fashion]: But that defeats the whole point! Why on earth did you do that?
Seeker: Found a better project - we're going to fix the fabric of reality... the walls between dimensions.
Doctor: What? But that's... that's impossible!
Seeker: Come on! We're Timelords! If anyone's going to do it, it's us! I'm the Seeker, and there is no point in seeking without finding. I will work it out, even if it kills me twelve times over!
Doctor [eyes narrowing]: Just where did you end up?
Seeker [smiling]: A world without me. Or dad - he killed himself rather than spend forever with you.
Master [drolly]: Parallel-me is a lucky bastard.
Seeker [rolls eyes]: Thanks so much dad. Sorry that fatherly love is such a bitch.
Master: Apology accepted.
Seeker [annoyed]: Not too late to kill yourself you know.
Master: Well if you’d let me have a gun... or a bomb - or a rocket? I’d like a rocket!
Doctor [pointedly ignoring the Master]: So... who was there?
Master: Oh come on Doctor - just one little nuclear rocket. That’s not a lot to ask for, is it? It’s my birthday soon...
Seeker [raises eyebrow]: You want a rocket for committing suicide? You're not even trying anymore!
Master [brightly]: I like to think outside the box.
Seeker [deadpan]: You’re gonna need a much bigger box! [takes deep breath] Sorry Doctor. What did you say? Oh yes, who was there? Well - Rose for a start!
Doctor [floored]: Rose?
Seeker: Yup! Had come through from Pete's World and my clever little gizmo must have latched onto her trail! So, we need to figure out a way of travelling between dimensions safely, because I don't want the universe to collapse every time I go on a date.
Doctor [blinks]: Date? With whom?
Seeker [can't help grinning]: Her name's Jenny.
Doctor: How long were you there?
Seeker: Oh... half an hour?
Master [sighs deeply]: Great. Spend thirty minutes with some trollop and you're ready to cross universes for her. You're worse than him! [points to Doctor]
Seeker [sternly]: Watch how you speak about your future daughter-in-law!
Doctor [taken aback]: Daughter-in-law? I think your father has a point for once. Who is this girl?
Seeker [grins widely]: Your daughter!
Doctor: What?
Seeker: Oh, and parallel-you really doesn't like - or trust - me, considering my parentage. Said I was the last man [shoots Doctor pointed look, since the Doctor, as many a parent, has trouble adjusting to the fact that his little boy has grown up] he'd want around his child!
Master [gleeful]: I'll pay for the wedding!

And that’s all folks - hope you enjoyed! If you’re interested in finding out more about the Seeker, then you can read his story (so far) here: Not The Last, although in many respects it’s more about the Doctor and the Master and their dynamic. (And there’s no Jenny, and no crack, obviously.)
