"You’re hopeless. Get up."

He managed to open his eyes, groaning at the light and the noise finally filtering into his ears. Once he got adjusted to the brightness, he saw a silhouette of two shoes in front of him. He pushed himself up and followed his eyes up the face of the man before him. “You—you’re…but that’s not right. You’re not supposed to be here.”

[doesntlikenewkidneys]

The Doctor frowned at his younger self. “Strange that I don’t remember this.” He raised his brow. “Of course, I haven’t been remembering quite a lot lately. I blame our regeneration for that.” Moving forward, instead of getting out his other self’s screwdriver, he pulled his own, modified one out of his jacket pocket. “Probably shouldn’t move too much. Still working out the adjustments on my sonic screwdriver.” He pointed it at the other Doctor’s shackles, and it emitted a familiar sound.

[eleventhdctor]

"Well I'm sorry for dying, but I probably didn't have much choice on the matter." The locks on the shackles clicked and popped open. He could finally stand up, and did so while rubbing his wrists. "It can't be as bad as the one we had way back with our eighth body. Then again, nothing can be as bad as an amnesiac Time Lord running around a hospital in San Francisco in nothing but a sheet." He eyed his other self's sonic and snatched it, twirling it in his fingers and looking closely. "Ooh...I don't like it."

[eleventhdctor]

"You’re hopeless. Get up."

He managed to open his eyes, groaning at the light and the noise finally filtering into his ears. Once he got adjusted to the brightness, he saw a silhouette of two shoes in front of him. He pushed himself up and followed his eyes up the face of the man before him. “You—you’re…but that’s not right. You’re not supposed to be here.”

[doesntlikenewkidneys]

"So I see," the Doctor sighed. "Where is River? The sight of us both here might prove to be a bit too… exciting for that woman."

[eleventhdctor]

"I lost track of her back in the boiling room," he told him...self? Meeting himself was always so odd. "She's probably gallivanting around with her gun somewhere. Or locked up, like me." He shook his wrists a bit, letting the chains clatter against each other. "Which remind me, could you get the sonic out of my front pocket? I would, but it's quite a lot of digging and I'm incapacitated at the moment."

[eleventhdctor]

"You never listen, do you?" (Hi hope this is okay :x)

"I did what I had to do. Otherwise, they would’ve all died. I couldn’t just let them go on like that." He was mostly telling himself this, just to keep him from breaking down. "I didn’t expect anything to go wrong."

[pinkspacechips]

'I told you so' hovered behind Rose's lips but she kept them shut. More commentary wouldn't exactly help the situation, and over time she had learned to pick her battles. Things always deviated from plan whenever she and the Doctor tried to do most things, though—not anticipating that was silly, if she was honest.

"Look—we made it out, guess that’s better than nothin’, right?"

[eleventhdctor]

"Yes," he said, voice distant. "I suppose so."

He could feel the guilt settling in, the kind of familiar feeling that only happened during times like these and those poignantly lonely points during the night. He swallowed the bile rising in his throat and sighed. "I'm sorry I dragged you into this. I shouldn't have, I should've left you where you were and done this on my own."

[eleventhdctor]

"You deserved every minute of that."

"I…I know," he said, still breathing heavily. He put a hand up to his face and winced at the pain. "Trust me, I know. Doesn’t change the fact that I’m…" He tried standing up, only to have his legs give out from under him. "Well, you get the picture."

   [ Clara sighed, trembling hands running through her hair in frustration. ]

"I’m sorry, I didn’t —- I didn’t mean that." 

   [ She crouched down to where he’d collapsed, small hand raising to rest on his cheek, making sure not to hurt him. Stroking tenderly. ] 

"Jesus Christ, Doctor. I’m sorry. I don’t know —- I don’t know what happened." 

[eleventhdctor]

"S'Alright. I needed this, if I'm being honest with myself. Nothing like a good shock to keep myself in line." He laughed, but it was more wheezy than he would've liked. He looked up at her. "Help me up, would you? If you're up for it, of course."

[eleventhdctor]

"Hello, Doctor. I've missed you..."

"Missed me? It’s only been a week, Clara. I’m flattered, but it really hasn’t been that—" He paused, taking in his surroundings. "—long…Oh. I skipped ahead, didn’t I?"

[claraoswald123-deactivated20140]

She giggled when he almost toppled backwards but made sure she helpd in keeping him steady. “It’s okay, it’s okay, you don’t need to keep apologizing.” and Clara was being serious. Within the first few seconds of his arrival she’d forgiven him. When he promised, she smiled even more. She knew he’d keep that promise. She trusted him with everything. Then she nodded. “Right, good. Lead the way!” Clara wondered if the TARDIS had changed, or if it was exactly as she remembered it.

[eleventhdctor]

He couldn't stop grinning as he took her arm and guided her down the street and over to the blue police box standing next to the bus stop. He let go of her arm and walked up to the TARDIS, pointing a stern finger at her. "Now, listen here. I don't want you two squabbling. Not yet, anyway. So I'll have none of that, alright? Alright." He stuck in the key in and opened the doors before turning to Clara. "You coming?"

[eleventhdctor]

"You’re hopeless. Get up."

He managed to open his eyes, groaning at the light and the noise finally filtering into his ears. Once he got adjusted to the brightness, he saw a silhouette of two shoes in front of him. He pushed himself up and followed his eyes up the face of the man before him. “You—you’re…but that’s not right. You’re not supposed to be here.”

[doesntlikenewkidneys]

"And yet, here I am. Mystery of mysteries," the Doctor raised his brow at his younger self. "This is not the first time we’ve encountered other regenerations, and I’ve a feeling it will not be the last."

[eleventhdctor]

"Yes, but why here? And why now? As you can see, we're busy." He looked at the chains shackled to ankles and wrists. "I mean I was busy. Got a bit sidetracked."

[eleventhdctor]

I'm better than anon. But this is obviously OOC haha. And from what I've seen, I really like your Eleventh Doctor!

[eleventhdctor]

"Hello, Doctor. I've missed you..."

"Missed me? It’s only been a week, Clara. I’m flattered, but it really hasn’t been that—" He paused, taking in his surroundings. "—long…Oh. I skipped ahead, didn’t I?"

[claraoswald123-deactivated20140]

"It’s okay because you didn’t mean to, though." she protested, biting her lip and feeling even worse just for telling him just how long he’d been gone. But then again, the Doctor would of found out either way. He always knew. "Doctor, you—you don’t have t—" but she froze mid-sentence when she heard what he was saying. The Mondays and the Tuesdays and all the other days. A bright smile lit up her features and she nodded. "That sounds perfect." she said, and with that she was hugging him tightly. This was what she had missed the most about him; his caring attitude and his way of making things up to her.

[eleventhdctor]

"Whoa!" He almost toppled backwards from her hug and tried to steady himself before hesitantly wrapping his arms around her. "I'm sorry you missed me. But that will never, ever happen again. I promise." He held onto her for another moment before letting go and flashing a wide grin. "Okey dokey. Follow me. I parked the TARDIS around the corner."

CRITIQUE MY WRITING ON ANON

[eleventhdctor]

I can’t respond, only post. I’m trying to improve my writing over here so any critique helps.

[eleventhdctor]

"You’re hopeless. Get up."

He managed to open his eyes, groaning at the light and the noise finally filtering into his ears. Once he got adjusted to the brightness, he saw a silhouette of two shoes in front of him. He pushed himself up and followed his eyes up the face of the man before him. "You--you're...but that's not right. You're not supposed to be here."

[eleventhdctor]

"You never listen, do you?" (Hi hope this is okay :x)

"I did what I had to do. Otherwise, they would've all died. I couldn't just let them go on like that." He was mostly telling himself this, just to keep him from breaking down. "I didn't expect anything to go wrong."

[claraoswald123-deactivated20140]

Clara glanced up at him, feeling guilt spread through her bones. She didn’t mean to make him feel bad. “Hey, it’s…it’s okay…” she stepped forward, resting a hand lightly on his cheek. “You’re here now, and…that’s all that matters.” at first, she had been hurt and confused, but now she understood that the Doctor had genuinely had no idea that he’d left her for so long.

[eleventhdctor]

"But I hurt you!" he argued, mostly angry at himself. "I--I left you, I promised myself I would never do that to anybody ever again. No, I have to make it up to you." He knew this probably wouldn't solve everything, but it was a start. "Come along with me. Not just for the Wednesdays, but for the Mondays and the Tuesdays and all the other days. Not forever, but just for a while. What do you say?"

"You deserved every minute of that."

"I was an idiot to think you’d changed."

"You never listen, do you?"

"You’re hopeless. Get up."

"No, I meant it. I meant every word."

"You’re a bad person."

"Get out of my life."

"Let go of me!"

"And to think I loved you."

"I never want to see you again."

"I wish you were dead."

"I never lied!"

"I’d kill you if I had any mercy."

"Don’t you understand? I want you to hate me."

"Oi! I am not adorable, I'm the Oncoming Storm! I've defeated you multiple times and in several humiliating ways, that is the complete opposite of adorable."

"Hello, Doctor. I've missed you..."

"Missed me? It’s only been a week, Clara. I’m flattered, but it really hasn’t been that—" He paused, taking in his surroundings. "—long…Oh. I skipped ahead, didn’t I?"

[claraoswald123-deactivated20140]

"Yeah…you did." Clara said, biting her lip and looking down so he couldn’t see the slight change in her appearance. Nothing too drastic, just slightly less sparkly eyes and a few shifts in her facial features. "—Seven years, actually…" she mumbled.

[eleventhdctor]

"Seven--" He stopped, almost choking on his words. "Seven years? No, no. That can't be right. I haven't done that in...in years, in centuries! That can't..." He drifted off, the reality of the situation weighing down on him. "Seven years. I've done it again."
