**Currently being rewritten under the name Fight or Flight**

"So, what do Time Lords pray to?" Amy asked reluctantly.

Well? Do you know? Because he did. And in that moment, his eyes may have fallen on someone to his left, who was a little taller than him in those freakish heels.

The truth is, he had fallen for a superhero. Not any superhero who you would have heard of; her legacy has long since been erased. Even if you had heard of Ruby Oakley, you might well think that she is more of a villain, and no one would blame you for it- not even The Doctor.

She's a woman who is absolutely insane: properly bonkers. She has been since she met The Doctor. Or, that's what he'd like to have believed. It's not that simple, of course. He's not sure of who she even is. Now, what is she? Well, no one quite knows.

She's turning the story of seasons five, six, and seven of New-Who into something of a train wreck, and the mystery of her heritage is haunting every passenger on the Tardis.

So, why is a small-town girl from Leadworth the one that even the last of Time Lords calls supernatural?

Do you want to find out?

The Man From Her Dreams ☾ Doctor Who Fanfiction by totally_pengwing
39 parts Complete
BOOK ONE // 9th 10th 11th Fanfiction ~~ 'Who am I?' That is the question Elizabeth Smith has been asking herself since she can remember. Literally. Elisabeth was 5 when she was found, with no memories of what happened before she ended in that sinister alley, in London. She was an orphan. Her chance to start a relatively 'normal' life in the orphanage goes crumbling to pieces due to the strangeness that constantly surrounds her. Soon after her arrival, Elizabeth becomes an outcast. All because of her strangely eery, though beautiful dreams. Dreams about the Daleks, Cybermen and a man in a blue box, travelling through time and space. But are these dreams true? Is the Doctor, the mad man from her dreams, real? That's what she thinks until she meets him. Their encounters go from an accidental meeting on the street to an art exhibition in her room, when he shows up at the orphanage in the middle of the night. What will happen when he'll find out about her dreams? WIll Lizzie finally have her questions answered? About who she is, who her parents were and why they abandoned her with nothing but a strange jammed watch to keep her company? Lizzie will have to travel through time and space, meet people and aliens, friends of the Doctor and all of his different regenerations. All under a false identity, in an attempt to prevent a collapse in the time's continuum. What will happen when she will fall in love with her childhood hero, as she bounces from timeline to timeline and discovers things about his past? She'll have to figure this all out as quickly as she can, for she doesn't have much time left: with every second that passes, her end crawls closer and closer...

Catch 22 || The 11th Doctor and Eleven Fanfiction by iiheywhatsupii
25 parts Complete
She's gone. They're both... gone. "The girl who waited and the last centurion," I tested their nicknames on my lips, hoping to get a small flicker of happiness, but I was only met by the weight on my heart doubling. A tear slipped down my cheek that soon turned into a waterfall. They're gone. Dead. The Doctor is heartbroken, devastated after the death of Amy and Rory. His heart and mind opens to the screams of humans on Earth. One stands out, a little girl screaming, "PAPA". Then I heard it. A young girl screaming "PAPA!," a piercing scream, "PAPA AHH PAPA", louder than all the other cries of children or anyone in the world echoing in my mind. Heartbreaking. Even more than I could feel with two hearts. After walking for five minutes in the uniform tree line, I saw a tall fence surrounding an ominous brown building which somewhat resembled a prison. There were no windows, only wire mesh lining the entire building and hard concrete pillars in between. Surely the girl I'm looking for couldn't be in here? The Doctor uncovers a girl with a dark secret, will the Doctor save her or will she drag him down with her so they both burn. First they had to find Eleven. Now they have to find Twenty Two. A dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions. "a catch-22 situation". DISCLAIMER- I do not own the Doctor Who or Stranger Things characters or plot, only my own story. COMPLETED

When he did find me, immediately I was thrust into a world full of family and friends, something I had no memory of. A strange race of beings was suddenly threatening these people, and I was left with a choice: save my family and friends, or join and destroy the town we were in. ~ I do not own Dr. Who or any of the BBC's show's characters.
