Hello everyone! I am back :D
Unfortunately, time and energy do not allow for me to do another run of the fugitive Doctor week in 2026. However, instead, I present to you:
The Fugitive Doctor Celebration Dice Game!
How to play:
Throw a set of dice (1d4, 1d6, 1d8, 2d10/1d100, 1d12 and 1d20) or use a dice simulator like this one.
Read off the corresponding prompts in the right category.
Write a fic/create art for the prompts
Upload your work with the tag fugitivedoctorweek2026 and/or tag this blog
I will reblog all entries on their corresponding day (July 30th to August 2nd depending on the result of the d4, see top of the chart/under the cut). Obviously, you are very welcome to post entries afterwards as well and I will do my best to reblog them.
The game is focused on fics and drawings, but I believe you could use it for other types of art and meta as well, maybe with some tweaks or excluding some prompts.
If you have any further questions, check out the updated Rules and FAQ or shoot me a message.
We had so many amazing contributions last year, I hope we will have another lovely run!
Very excited to see what you will come up with!

There really aren't many hard rules for entries to the Fugitive Doctor Celebration. The main two are:
The fugitive Doctor has to appear or be discussed in your work
NO AI "ART". AI art is theft. If you enter AI art or writing, you get blocked.
And the slightly softer rules:
Tag nsfw as such
Try to tag spoilers and characters involved in your contributions so people can avoid them if necessary
plus some impulses to
Reblog entries to spread awesome art and meta
Leave comments or tags to say thank you and compliment the creators
Tag your friends that you think might enjoy the works so they can share in the fun!
But to answer some questions pre-emptively, here are some things you might be wondering about:
How do I enter works?
Just post them and either tag this blog (@thefugitivedoctorweek) or tag the post as fugitivedoctorweek2026 or fugitivedoctorweek.
Do I need to use all dice/prompts?
Nah, you are free only to roll specific dice or even throw out prompts after the fact. Or even choose specific prompts without rolling for them. Whatever inspires you best.
Is [this type of art work] allowed? How about meta analysis?
Yes! This is for ANY kind of art. (Except for AI. Which isn't art.) And we love to see meta, too!
Is the event based solely on the TV show or is eu material allowed ?
Any source material is allowed, just please tag spoilers.
Are shipping fics/art allowed?
Allowed and encouraged.
Is gen fic/art (non-shipping content) allowed?
Allowed and encouraged.
Can I also enter something I have already posted before if it fits within a prompt?
Yes, totally, we are here to celebrate old works, too. Do feel invited to make something new on top of that, though ;)
Are OCs/reader inserts/self inserts/etc allowed?
Anything is allowed. As long as it involves the fugitive Doctor and you have made it yourself, you may create whatever you like.
Do I need to post my entry on tumblr or can I post it on ao3/wattpad/etc?
You do not need to make a tumblr post. However, since I don't have much experience hosting - and exclusively am familiar with ao3 - I have made a collection on ao3 that you can post works to, but that's about as much as I can offer. If you would like to give me permission to make a tumblr post for your work, just dm me with the link and I will make a "further contributions" post once a day linking to all works that can be found off the site.
You haven't reblogged my contribution. Is there anything wrong with it?
Uhm - well either it is not the right date yet and I am holding out for the right moment, I just haven't gotten round to it yet today or I probably have made an honest mistake. In any case, just shoot me a message and I'll get back to you asap! Don't be shy to notify me, I do get things messed up easily and I know from my own experience you might feel like a bother, but you aren't. Promise <3
Anything else?
Please come to my ask box or just include your question in a reblog :)
Happy fugitive doctor week!!! Here are 2 of my drawrings following the "weapons" and "on the run" prompts for today.
( weapons as shown on the left features the fugitive doctor holding her gun in the fugitive of the judoon episode which I used a screenshot for as reference to draw and on the run features her costume as seen in the story and the engine as it is kinda? Or at least in my head implied that that's what she wore when she was on the run) I am a beginner artist who kinda lacks an artstyle 😅 and has little clue how tumblr works but enjoy!!!
Again, thank you so, so much to everyone who contributed, either by creating art, writing fic, composing music or by commenting and reblogging! I've had a ton of fun and I hope so did you :)
You might still have a few works to catch up on, I know I certainly do, and I hope you'll enjoy them just as much!
There are just a few things I would like to say before finally calling it the end of the event:
If there is a work you haven't managed to post on time, please, take as long as you need to finish it and tag me/dm me anyway. As long as I get the notification, I will still reblog any entry and do my best to leave a little comment, too :)
On that note, you will probably not check this blog as often anymore, so if you would like to be tagged about further updates/incoming entries/a possible reprise next year, let me know via dm or ask and I'll put you on a tag list
I will most probably meet Jo Martin at a con in October. Which is super exciting, I know, but I am mainly telling you bc I would like to let her know of the event. I am expecting I'll just stutter something about us celebrating her Doctor online with fics and art and that'll be it. But on the off-chance she'll ask to see, I would show her the blog (+ certain works I have gotten explicit permission for) /give her the link, too. However: If you are opposed to her being told about the event/shown the blog, please dm me, so I'll know to shut up
That would be all, again, thank you so much for making the event this fun!
the following works were added to the ao3 collection:
Doctor? (G) by @capybaraonabicycle
The Doctor receives a strange message via a psychic link: A stranger needs her help. Or so he says.
i don't fit quite like they like it (and so they come for me) (T, Ch. 6) by @jae-writes-stuff
The Doctor, free from Division at last, finds an old friend...
Outpace the dawn (G) by @eriadu-in-the-wildwood
After months of trying to figure out how to pilot the spare TARDIS, Yaz is in dire need of a distraction from her worry about the Doctor. When a half-familiar woman barges on board, she ends up on an adventure that gives her exactly that. But she can’t run from her present forever.
One more time: Thank you so much for your contributions!
I'm a couple of days behind because it's the busiest week of the year at my work and I've been too exhausted to focus on anything, but I wanted to wrap up @thefugitivedoctorweek2025 with a little bit of fluff. Once life chills the fuck out a bit I'll be going back and filling in the prompts I missed.
Anyway, Fugitive-Karvanista reunion with a touch of writer's wish fulfillment, anyone?
She's free.
She didn't believe it at first.
But then she watched as a squad of Judoon, once again hired to track her down and capture her, suddenly backed down, their commander confused about why they'd cornered this random civilian. They'd catalogued her like they did every other person in the village…and they'd left.
Her new future self—a handsome Black man with oddly impeccable fashion sense and the biggest smile she'd ever seen—had been waiting for her at her TARDIS, and explained with staggering self-confidence that he'd fixed it.
Her timeline. His timeline. Able to coexist in tandem, rather than his timeline depending on the termination of hers.
She's free.
It's an odd feeling, traveling through space without worrying about where she's going, whether anyone's chasing her, having to make seventeen different strategic decisions before she even thinks about landing on a planet.
She's not sure if she'll ever get used to it.
After the initial shock wears off, there's a new feeling to confront: the deep, soul-crushing loneliness of someone who's been forced to go it alone for a very long time. She used to take her empty console room as a comfort, because at least if Division managed to catch up with her, no one else would have to suffer.
But now, the emptiness feels so wrong.
If only she knew how to interact with people enough to convince someone to come travel with her.
It's not long before the solution to her problems hits her.
Literally.
The TARDIS is having an off day, sluggishly responding to her commands, like a child who doesn't want to get out of bed. And that means when they emerge from the Time Vortex, they do so right in the path of another ship.
The Doctor manages to dematerialize just in time to avoid the worst of the damage, and rematerializes on the ship's bridge.
She's considering her next move when someone pounds on the door.
"Whatever you're up to, I'm having no part of it!"
The voice hits her like a ton of bricks, and before she even registers that she's moving, she rushes to the door and yanks it open.
Karvanista stands on the other side, laser axe aimed squarely at her chest. "You've got a lot of nerve," he growls. "Showing up here again is bad enough, but wearin' that face?"
The Doctor raises her hands in a placating gesture. "It's me, Karvanista," she says.
Karvanista's aim falters for a second. "Yeah?" he says. "Prove it."
"The last time we saw each other was when you and Lee helped me escape a forced regeneration," the Doctor says. "I begged you to come with me but you and Lee said there was another plan."
Karvanista tightens his grip on his weapon. "And you never showed up at the rendezvous point," he says. "I waited for you. I waited so long that Division caught up to me."
The Doctor's stomach turns. "Oh, Karvanista, I'm sorry," she says. "We knew Division was watching the rendezvous point. We couldn't risk it. We had to run."
Karvanista scoffs, but there's an ever so slight softening in his eyes.
The Doctor keeps her hands up and takes a careful step forward. "I had to hide myself," she says. "I had to use a chameleon arch to turn myself human and Lee and I had to hide on Earth. Do you know—"
"I bloody know where Earth is," Karvanista says. "I got species recalled there four years ago. Species bonded to the most irriating human to ever exist."
The Doctor does the math in her head. No, she would have already been restored and on the other side of the universe by then.
A long silence falls, and finally, Karvanista lowers his weapon. "It's really you," he says.
The Doctor nods. "It's me."
"And Lee?"
The Doctor shakes her head. "Gat got to him," she whispers. "He died protecting me."
Karvanista mutters a curse under his breath. "Always knew it was gonna go like that," he says. He gestures at her. "So what's this, then? Friendly visit before you take off running again?"
The Doctor shakes her head. "I'm not running anymore," she says. She's surprised at the way her voice trembles. "I don't know how he did it but a future me fixed the timelines. I'm free of all of it."
"So you…"
"I came to find you because you were my best friend and I hated myself for leaving you behind like that. I want to make things right."
Karvanista hesitates, and the Doctor can tell there's a war going on behind those eyes. Finally, he lets out a deep exhale, punctuated by a quiet sob. "Damn it, I missed you," he says.
The Doctor makes a sound that's half laugh, half sob, and crosses the distance between them to hug him.
"I didn't say you could—" Karvanista starts to protest, but then he gives in and hugs her back.
They stay like that for a long time, long enough for both of them to shed a few tears without having to acknowledge it.
Finally, the Doctor pulls away. "So, what now?"
Karvanista shrugs. "There is the small matter of the small explosive that our old bosses stuck in my head," he says. "Care to help me figure out how to get rid of it?"
The Doctor brushes aside her anger at learning about yet another Division atrocity. There will be a time for vengeance later. For now, she has a whole lot of years to make up for.
I am ALWAYS up for Doctor & Karvanista fluff! 🥰
Ohhh, look at that! Did she do an Oswin??? (or someone else for her?) Deleting her from their data base?
Awwww, it's 15! Coming to her aid! 🥹Oh, but I love that! And he's perfect for it, he cares so much about his younger regenerations <3
(also very glad she agrees he's handsome)
Omg omg omg, she's getting to travel! She gets to run around the universe just to see it, not because she's hunted! Like the others 🥹🥹🥹 oh, thank you, this is such a beautiful finish to the week!
And of course she can't quite believe it, of course she'll still have to get used to it. Also, ough, that part on loneliness hits hard. All of it but especially : "She used to take her empty console room as a comfort, because at least if Division managed to catch up with her, no one else would have to suffer."
"If only she knew how to interact with people enough to convince someone to come travel with her." No, honey, but you DO! Also ask me, I'll come any day <3
Yayyyyyy, it's HIMMMM! HI, BESTIE!
"Species bonded to the most irriating human to ever exist." Yesssss, Dan mention!
"I came to find you because you were my best friend and I hated myself for leaving you behind like that." She has a friend! She has a best friend and she's apologised and they're gonna travel together! 😭😭
And they're hugging 💜 Oh, this is so healing to read!
"long enough for both of them to shed a few tears without having to acknowledge it." sigh she's just like 12, isn't she?
Ugh, yeah, more Division shit. But they'll deal with that, they can fix it. And then they'll travel the universe together! The Doctor and Karvanista, in the TARDIS 🥰
Thank you so much, what a beautiful end to the week! Thank you also very much for all your other fics you have contributed. I am looking forward to any works you will add to the series still!
Another small contribution to @thefugitivedoctorweek2025 for the prompt "Meeting in the wrong order". I hope you enjoy it!! Word count: 200 words
Sometimes, the Doctor felt as though her life was spent on a train, neither it's stops not destinations wholly clear, nor the passage of time in between. She went round in loops, forward, backward, and sideways in time, never staying, never stopping.
There was often dread that she was being hunted, or that her journey would come to an abrupt halt. But she had escaped Division's grasp, and her train was very good at avoiding those agents. The train liked the Doctor. And the Doctor liked the train.
A passenger enters, a pretty Black woman with box braids. The Doctor doesn't know her, but recognition sparks in the woman's face.
She says the Doctor will understand, later. That their meetings are a bit out of order.
They sit together, eat strawberries the not-yet-familiar companion has brought.
"Do you think we'll spend a long time on the train together?" the Doctor asks, deep down knowing everyone leaves, sooner or later. Usually sooner.
The woman smiles a mysterious smile and places a finger to the Doctor's lips. "Don't worry about the future too much." She says, cupping the Doctor's face gently. "You're in good hands."
Ahhh, thank you very much, friend! You already know I loved his, but just for the official statement:
This has everything I love: train mention, Marchingband, angst mixed with hope and even a kiss 🥰 Also strawberries, of course.
I love that today I got River being surprised by the Doctor knowing her already when she didn't and Mels knowing the Doctor who is unfamiliar with her. It feels nicely full-circle. Especially for the prompt of "Meeting in the wrong order". We kinda turned canon on its head, there <3
"deep down knowing everyone leaves, sooner or later. Usually sooner." I love that part so much, because it is true for any regeneration, but it's most true for the fugitive Doctor. They always lose everyone, but she loses so much more and so much more cruelly than most </3
Thank you so much for writing this and gifting it to me!
Last day of @thefugitivedoctorweek2025 ! Today I used the prompt “meeting in the wrong order” and took the opportunity to write the Fugitive Doctor and Yaz, an idea that’s been bouncing around in my head for awhile now.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
After months of trying to figure out how to pilot the spare TARDIS, Yaz is in dire need of a distraction from her worry about the Doctor. When a half-familiar woman barges on board, she ends up on an adventure that gives her exactly that. But she can’t run from her present forever.

The fugitive Doctor and Mels encounter the eleventh Doctor. Taking him for the Doctor turned evil due to Mels' upbringing they attempt to kill him. It does not go as planned.
and now the final fic for @thefugitivedoctorweek2025
This has been a lot of fun and I’d like to thank everyone for their support. Under the cut then we have “Meeting in the wrong order” starring the Queen of Meeting in the Wrong Order
River loved doing Lara Croft stuff. After all, she had such fond memories of playing those games with her parents.
Of course that was so long ago.
Now she did it for real, she dodged the lasers, ran past the boulder and jumped the spikes. All she needed at this point all she needed was a beautiful woman on her arm and she’d practically be Indiana Jones.
She got the vault at the end of the corridor, she inserted the big chunky key, and opened up to find…a woman.
She was dark-skinned with her hair up, and wore yellow-tinted spectacles over her brown eyes. She wore a shirt of colourful cloth, and a three piece suit of blue with big golden buttons, and she took one look at River and said
“Hello, love! About bloody time!”
River was taken aback. “I’m sorry, who are you?”
“I’m the Doctor, mate. And you’re Professor River Song.”
River was shocked, a version of the Doctor she didn’t know and surely shouldn’t know her? Two gigantic question marks.
River was uncharacteristically speechless. “How do you know who I am?” She said, the words finally coming to her.
“As was briefed on you as someone to watch out for.” The Doctor said, looking River up and down. “Although you don’t look especially dangerous.”
“Well!” River said, a little flustered. On a few levels. “Hello sweetie!”
The Doctor cocked her eyebrow. “Oh this is going to be fun I can tell.”
Hell yes! I am not normal about River Song - as might have become apparent, possibly. I also may or may not have planted that prompt in the hope someone would choose her. (But also bc it is a great concept, especially for someone like the Doctor who will not know whether they haven't met or she has just forgotten them </3)
Yes to River playing Lara Croft, too. She so has! Mhhh, whoever might that beautiful woman be?
Yesssss! It's her! And she's wearing her glasses, so she's basically irresistible. Lucky day for River Song <3
Oh, but I love that! The Doctor already knowing River when she is all grown up! For once (again) the tables are reversed.
“Although you don’t look especially dangerous.” geggstsaf. Careful there, Doctor.
Awww, and the Doctor likes her! Of course she does! (and River never had a chance anyway)
So fun and sweet! Thank you so much for writing this and for all your little scenes over the week! I enjoyed them greatly <3
