hiii!!!! long time no see here are my 7 questions:
what is your fav part about fugitive in your fics?
do you write her any different from canon (maybe there's one thing you'd like to change from canon and did)?
have you done this thing where you like some hc of yours about fugitive and you leave it in any and every fic like a trademark shskdj (for example that a character might like apple juice and they drink it in EVERY fic of yours)?
what's your personal favourite line from any of your fics? or maybe top 3? top 5?
also have you done any amnesia fics given Ruth!fugitive canon part? if not do you plan to explore it someday? idk I just remember there were a LOT of amnesia!au fics and even I wrote a few.
what are your thoughts on fugitive with other companions? clara? bill? martha? do you plan to make a cameo of any of them in your future fics? (or if you have SHARE THE FIRST LINES!!!!)
last but not least: do you have any ideas on fugitive fics that you still haven't done or maybe will never do but you lowkey want to share? if so could you maybe write about that?
wait also!!! do you call her fugitive or doctor in your fics and why/why not?
omg thank you for the ask 🙏💖
Getting to actually explore her character, and her relationship with the Timeless Child story arc. Unfortunately her EU content so far isn't really delving into her backstory, or who she even really is, so putting my own spin on that is fun.
That's a hard one to answer because she doesn't have much screen time on the show and her BF version just gets mindwiped right out of the gate so it's hard to know who she really is. I guess I write her without the fear of backlash from fans who are still mad about the Timeless Child. Like she interacts with Tecteun, she has feelings and trauma about being Tecteun's experiment, she's scared of Division catching up to her, etc.
I have two! One is the origin of her calling herself the Doctor (it was originally a derogatory nickname because she refused to abandon wounded comrades in the field, she was forced to take it on as her actual name when they mindwiped her into the Fugitive incarnation (basically erased everything she was before as punishment for rebelling). and then she reclaimed as hers after she ran). The second is TARDIS-as-police-box (the TARDIS's chameleon circuit still works in her time, and takes on the police box appearance when interacting with anyone who's met Doctors 1-15 because I think it's the same TARDIS and that's how she says "hi! it's me!")
"Some very bad people are after me. They'll catch me, one day. I know that now, because it's the only way your Doctor can exist. But I plan to make the lot of them very, very miserable in the meantime." That just sums up her character so well for me. She knows she's on borrowed time but fuck you, she's not about to make it easy.
I had one where Division chameleon arches 13 and Fugitive (and they shove Fugitive back into her Ruth persona to further torment her), but I kinda abandoned it 😅 I've also got a rewrite of Fugitive of the Judoon in my WIP folder (started because Barrowman pissed me off by saying that he helped boost Jodie's ratings) that I'm using to flesh out both Ruth and Fugitive.
lol I actually have fics with both Martha and Clara in my WIP folder. The Martha fic has them teaming up to find and defeat a weird alien fear parasite infesting a hospital. The Clara fic has Fugitive coming across the diner TARDIS while coming to terms with the impending end of her life. I've thought about adding a Bill fic but I'm still working on coming up with a plot. She may also adopt Ruby at some point. Basically, if I think there's an interesting dynamic to explore, I'll write it 😂 (I will reblog with Ellipsus snippets once I find/make them)
I want to do something surrounding her regeneration, like how residual traces of her manage to survive the mind wipe and that's what inspires the First Doctor to take Susan and run. I also want to do a Fugitive/Yaz series with a version of Fugitive that's regenerated from 13 (basically the lingering trauma of the Timeless Child brings Fugitive's face back so she can finally face all of her demons)
I call her "the Doctor" when she's the main character of a fic, because that's what she calls herself. If I'm writing from, say, 13's POV, or any other POV where she's not the only Doctor in the fic/scene, I'm more likely to refer to her as "the fugitive" (because calling her "the other Doctor" gets really annoying really fast 😅)
