It's meant to have been an ordinary day. A run of the mill, relatively boring Thursday, filled with hanging up the wash and doing the rest of the dishes before reading to some toddlers and putting books back from the return trolleys. She'd signed up to volunteer at the local library to occupy the rest of her days, getting at least some work experience, not dealing with whatever the hell is going on.

She hadn't thought much of the insects at first, thought the one she'd initially seen was just a funny little thing and brushed it off the book cover, the heel of her boot crushing it into the floor before she continued. When she'd gone to return one of the older books back to the classic literature section though, she'd seen them crawling. She went running to the librarians, told them what was happening and gone to see if she could find something. There wasn't much, so she'd grabbed some cleaning sprays and a broom for good measure. She was all ready for it, rushed through the door and found herself somewhere completely different.

It was still a library or at least a bookshop, that much was obvious, but certainly wasn't hers. The bookshelves were wooden and tall; reaching up to the ceiling and formed narrow rows filled with leatherbound spines. She would have spent more time admiring it if she hadn't come face to face with a group of three that definitely included at least two non-humans in historical dress when she'd come through or if it had been more expected. She'd dropped the basket of supplies and tried to back up, back to her library but was only met with an unwelcoming thud. She reached for a handle but when she found it she couldn't get it open at all.

So, she ran. She could hear them calling for her, adrenaline too strong to register them calling her name. She's now hidden in one of the rows, behind a ladder and broom ready to be aimed as a weapon. She's heard one of them leave, tempted to try and get to the door but too on edge. She doesn't know what they want, what's happening at all. She can hear some skittering but she can't see in the dim lights what exactly is causing it.

She doesn't know how long it's been when she hears the sound of the heavy front door open. She flinches, hands clutching at the broom handle as she hears faint conversation that leads to approaching footsteps. She listens and watches closely as he comes closer, and sticks the broom up like a shield that she thrusts towards him the moment he comes into sight.

"Get back! Get! Back! I'm-I'm not afraid to use this!"

SHE IS THE EPITOME OF SPRING. Not just with the beauty and energy of the season, but also the sprouts clawing their way out of the darkness the flourishes of life that have fought through the harshest of weathers.

LLIBELULA. A mutually exclusive blog for original character Dr Chloe Smith: bioengineer, time and space traveller, and occasional dimension hopper. Originally from a parallel universe rooted in Doctor Who canon and taken many universes beyond. Loved by Feegle (they/them, 29, GMT)

She's been watching the interaction with amusement, even if it's in passing. Curiosity only piques at what Danny's said in the meantime, eyes flicking back to the man who is now going back to his table before returning to her date. "So if you're not friends, then what are you?"

"I've got to hand it to you," Oswin said as she stood beside the Doctor, looking at their handiwork with sparkles in her eyes. She'd never thought that the stars would be so magnificent, and treacherous, and they really did it. They'd managed to save a structure that would have otherwise crumbled, crushed the citadel underneath. "It's astonishing." She looks up at him, grinning. "One day people are gonna wonder how we did it, you know."

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor. Last of the five good 'uns. Stoic philosopher and the only pin-up I ever had on my wall when I was fifteen. The only one I ever had. I am not sure who you think you're talking to right now, Madam Vastra, but I have never had the slightest interest in pretty young men. And for the record, if there ever was anybody who could flirt with a mountain range, SHE'S PROBABLY STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW. Just because my pretty face has turned your head, do not assume that I am so easily distracted.

#I unfortunately am doing the responsible thing and going to sleep instead of making an edit for Oswin #I can do that tomorrow after work and cleaning so have this for now. I will in fact be being a nuisance again tomorrow #self promo ((ooc))

Minding what is established in The Witch's Familiar, it is perfectly possible that Oswin had been shoved into a Dalek casing and attached to it just as Clara was. Yes over a year I think she would have degraded, turned closer into the Dalek creature, but in her Team TARDIS AU she found a workaround shortly after the Daleks converted her so that the Doctor was able to save her and take her with the Ponds

#a being can only be immortal if they fall in love with the stars ((headcanons))#i dance in your whispers. i sing in the echoes of the dark ((oswin oswald))

Oswin was really so determined, so steadfast to hold onto her humanity despite being fully converted into a Dalek that she really became insane with the idea.

I do think that how she communicates with the Doctor and the Ponds is by having hacked the Dalek mainframe and having found a workaround to use pretty much her own voice over comms, probably generated from her ship logs while on Starship Alaska. I think it's probably a thing she did at the beginning, something she doesn't recall doing as she becomes slowly more detracted from the real world throughout the year. What we see on screen, that mental vision of Oswin, started as a coping mechanism that she used that just became more real for her with time

Also the Doctor mentions that the first thing that goes is your memories and your feelings, but it's determined that Oswin still has those. I think there was a gap in the nanocloud or she was really so afraid during the full conversion process that it brought back all those memories of her mum, of her job, of her life

#I'M JUST SAYING that if Daleks have insane technology that there can be a mildly unsane solution #a being can only be immortal if they fall in love with the stars ((headcanons))#i dance in your whispers. i sing in the echoes of the dark ((oswin oswald))

Oswin yearned for the stars but had to figure out some way to get onto a spaceship. She wasn't a scientist, an engineer or someone who could typically work in a flight crew even though she was intelligent. She loved cultures and mythology, and hoped she'd be able to become some sort of advocate in time. Her stint as junior entertainment manager on the Starship Alaska was meant to be the beginning of her career, would give her some way to climb the ladder but the ladder broke when the starliner crashed into the Dalek Asylum

#Listen...I know there are valid criticisms of the Dalek Asylum and what happens with Oswin but for now I'm rolling w it and maybe one day #I'll sit down and rewrite what happens with Oswin but for now it's just notes #a being can only be immortal if they fall in love with the stars ((headcanons))#i dance in your whispers. i sing in the echoes of the dark ((oswin oswald))

Considering I'm being more active on this blog I've started to rewatch Clara's time on DW and ooh boy the thoughts are Immediately there

big fan of a good shit-eating grin. like a ruckus-causing, pot-stirring type of grin. a smile that truly fucks around and finds out. anyway
