The very beginnings of the 'beauty and the beast' trope I sprinkled in this series 🤭 (Lily's theme above cause I just think it's fits the vibe of the library <33)

In the TARDIS
SOME TIME HAD PASSED SINCE THEIR 'CHIP DATE' and Lily found herself alone in the TARDIS. She hadn't the faintest idea how but she was- the Doctor was nowhere in sight. Okay, maybe it was her fault that she was alone. He gave her the excuse that he needed to check the wiring- a job that Lily decided wasn't anything she could help with. So, with Lily left to her own devices, she went exploring.
In her dreams, she saw various rooms in the TARDIS, from the three-story wardrobe to the room full of only sweets. But there was one room in particular that always entranced her and she had only seen it a handful of times for a split second. The library.
Lily found it harder than she thought it would be when she started her journey- remembering the interior of the TARDIS modified itself after almost every reincarnation or the Doctor. She strolled down solid white corridors, glancing every so often into any open door she saw, and letting out a heavy sigh when it wasn't the library inside. Not only did she want to find it for pleasure but needed to see if there was any book in there to better explain her new aging issue to her.
"I'm about to give up." She muttered to herself and looked over her shoulder, seeing if she could find her way back to the console room from here- the Doctor had to nearly be done with his task. That was before all the lights shut off. Lily was encased in complete darkness and could even see her hands when she looked down.
"Okay," Lily said in a sing-song joking voice. "That's not terrifying." She started to try and think up any ideas on how to get the Doctor but the flashing of a light down the corridor changed her train of thought. It was from a single bulb screwed into the ceiling. Lily edged closer to it until it started illuminating her face. The bulb flickered again. "Hello?" It grew dark and then flickered once more. "Is there someone there?"
