(It was quite alarming to discover that I felt like that, I never ship Doctor/Companion. And it's not a ship ship, but... Well, one day I will write about Six and make a lot of parallels to Twelve & Clara.
Yes, unasked-for life-saving going on with complicated feels in both, really. I would be very interested to read it! And, hey, shipping is just one sort of fannish what if and it's not as if it changes anything in canon. (The only time you need to worry is when you start thinking it should or attacking other people.) I'm not very romantic-OTP, especially in DW in canon, but I am always open for the possibilies in fanfic if someone can write it well, or I get a good prompt, and what else is fic for but to explore all the things we can't have in canon? ;-D
Also, sorry, I should have said Eight makes a lot of random proposals of marriage in fic. (There's even one where he proposes to every single companion! And, across all the media, Eight has a lot of companions.) I made some big rec sets for all of the Classic Who Doctors (save Three, Four, and Five, just because they have more fic and I never quite got round to tackling those mountains) and there were definitely some funny era-specific trends that weren't necessarily all that predictable.
(Not saying no to swords though. <3333)
That's fine, then, I'll just steal all the sandwiches. <3
