Clara Oswald Platonic Imagine request please where reader is Neurodivergent and has a love for history, but was made to be ashamed of it when young despite Clara sticking up for them, and Clara being happy for them when they are able to talk all the time about the interest when travelling with the doctor? Sorry it’s so long

Thank you so much for the request! I took the liberty of choosing Capaldi!Doctor as the doctor in this. I should mention also, I am neurodivergent myself and have a life long fascination with The Romanov's, so I get it.

The Doctor picks their companion's with pride and care and so when Clara suddenly drags you onto his ship, he's all hands wavy and gesturing at you.

"Doctor!" Clara's voice is stern and The Time Lord fully stops in his tracks.

Your watching the two while rocking back and forth on your feet. "I can go, Clars, really."

Clara turns to look at you. "No, you will not. Doctor, you need to apologize."

"Really, you should be the one apologizing. You're the one bringing someone completely new onto the TARDIS." The Doctor is saying, gesturing a hand out towards you.

Your eyes widen and you look at him, although you barely make eye contact. "I can pay, just like I have for tours and all that. I just wanna see Alexander Palace in its prime, that's all."

The Doctor swiftly turns to look at Clara, the hand pointed out towards you waving as he begins to talk. "Oh, so now your using as a tourist service, Clara?"

Clara swiftly grabs his arm, turning him in a circle and marching him towards the stairs toward the upper part of the console room. Her voice is lowered, but you know from the look on her face she is lecturing him just like she does her students. The Doctor, every once in awhile, turned to look at you, before nodding. "Alexander Palace, right?"

It was the best day of your life, being able to sit and explore the palace at the end of Tsarist Russia.

The Doctor was eager to listen to you info dump all about the palace and the information about it, and he fed you little bits of information that you didn't know while softly correcting you on information you had wrong.

Clara and him didn't expect you to become a staple in the TARDIS after that.

The next couple of months were filled with just history trips and The Doctor and Clara making sure you weren't interrupted whenever you'd just stop and stare at the people or paintings.

Clara sat next to you, the two of you sitting on the floor of the TARDIS next to the door, as you just stared up at the construction of the Eiffel Tower. "So, how does it feel?"

"Amazing. These have been the best months of my life. I can never thank you and The Doctor enough." You whispered, watching the men move about.

"You don't have to thank us at all. I know how much this means to you." Clara said, watching you for a minute before looking out at the construction herself.

"I'll have to get The Doctor something." You whispered, continuing to watch.

"You don't have to get me anything. It's good enough to see someone appreciating Earth's history. I should take you to The Titanic." The Doctor says, swiftly moving to join the two of you on the floor.

"I'd rather not die in 1912, thanks." You said absently.

"He'd get us off the ship before, right Doctor?"

"Of course, duty of care." The Doctor said, watching you.

The two try to keep you out of the process of events surrounding places.

You three had been there for the beheading of Anne Boleyn, you had been in fact quietly singing "Don't Lose Your Head" during it all under your breath.

The two enjoyed your little info dumps about situations and locations and people as you travelled through time.

The two never ever put you down about your little quirks or when you'd stim excitedly over an event (you excitedly flappy handed when you three "accidentally" ran into someone you had excitedly read about as a kid)

The three of you were apart of The Ides of March, and you and Clara had joined in on the stabbing of Julius Caesar.

Happy Pride Month from my LGBT+ characters.

Yes, half of them are headcanons but they have yet to be confirmed straight. MY Carol and Poe are gay. Finn is bi.

Clara and Val are canonically bi.

The Doctor is a Time Lord, and Time Lords are confirmed genderfluid.

They're all proud of who they are, and you should be too.

So, about the milkshake... The first time you waited on me, I asked for a Peanut Butter Blast Off. And you brought me a Little Green Man. But I was so in love with you that I didn't even care. And the second time, you walked by my table and you pointed at me and you said, "Little Green Man," and... I was just so happy that you remembered, I never corrected you. I am not better off without you. I am not whole without you- Max Evans(Roswell New Mexico)

In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you- Mr. Darcy(Pride and Prejudice)

I've seen what you truly are," said the Darkling, "and I've never turned away. I never will. Can he say the same?-the Darkling(Shadow and Bone)

You've been asking a question, and it's time someone told you you've been getting it wrong. His name... His name is the Doctor. All the name he needs. Everything you need to know about him. And if you love him — and you should — help him. Help him- Clara Oswald(Doctor Who)

You are by far the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my 173 years on this earth- Damon Salvatore(the Vampire Diaries)

I will watch you grow into the king Camelot deserves. As it should be- Gwen(Merlin)

The Littlest Timelord: The Fall of Eleventh Chapter 46

TITLE: The Littlest Timelord: The Fall of the Eleventh Chapter 46 PAIRING: No Pairing RATING: T CHAPTER: 46/? SUMMARY: Elise Smith is now a teenaged Timelord. In addition to losing the Ponds, the fields of Trenzalore are calling. But first they have to figure out exactly who Clara Oswald is.

[A/N - I really love this chapter. I hope you do too!]

They went back to their respective TARDIS’ and sent a message to the High Council.

It read “Gallifrey Stands”.

The High Council chamber popped up on their screens.

“Hello, hello, Gallifrey High Command, this is the Doctor speaking,” the Doctor said.

“Hello! Also the Doctor. Can you hear me?” Ten asked.

“Also the Doctor, standing ready,” the older Doctor said.

“Dear God, three of them. All my worst nightmares at once,” High Council members said.

“General, we have a plan…” Ten started.

“We should point at this moment, it is a fairly terrible plan…” the Doctor said.

“And almost certainly won't work.”

“I was happy with fairly terrible.”

“Sorry, just thinking out loud.”

“We're flying our three TARDIS’s into your lower atmosphere.”

“We're positioned at equidistant intervals around the globe. Equidistant. So grown up.”

Elise giggled, happy that the two versions of her father were finally getting along.

“We're just about ready to do it,” the older Doctor said.

“Ready to do what?” the General asked.

“We're going to freeze Gallifrey,” the Doctor told him.

“I'm sorry, what?”

“Using our TARDIS’s, we're going to freeze Gallifrey in a single moment in time,” Ten said.

“You know, like those stasis cubes? A single moment in time, held in a parallel pocket universe,” the older Doctor explained.

“Except we're going to do it to a whole planet,” the Doctor said.

“And all the people on it,” Ten added.

“What? Even if that were possible, which it isn’t, why would you do such a thing?” the General asked.

“Because the alternative is burning,” the Doctor said.

“And I've seen that,” Ten said.

The Doctor looked at Elise, who stood next to him. “And we never want to see it again.”

“We'd be lost in another universe, frozen in a single moment. We'd have nothing,” the General told them.

“You would have hope. And right now, that is exactly what you don't have,” the Doctor said.

“It's delusional. The calculations alone would take hundreds of years.”

“Oh, hundreds and hundreds.”

“But don't worry, I started a very long time ago,” Ten told them.

An older, much older, Doctor’s voice was heard. “Calling the War Council of Gallifrey. This is the Doctor.”

“You might say I've been doing this all my lives,” the Doctor said.

One by one, new voices were heard. Voices from the Doctor’s younger incarnations.

“Good luck.”

“Standing by.”

“Ready.”

“Commencing calculations.”

“Soon be there.”

“Across the boundaries that divide one universe from another.”

“Just got to lock on to his coordinates.”

“And for my next trick…”

“I didn't know when I was well off. All twelve of them!” the General groaned.

“No, sir. All thirteen!” his second in command said, “Sir! The Daleks know that something is happening. They're increasing their fire power.”

“Do it, Doctor. Just do it. Do it!”

Elise looked in on the High Council chamber and recognized one of them. “Father?”

The Timelord spoke her true name and Elise flinched.

“That isn’t my name anymore,” she spat.

“You can deny it all you want, but you will always be my daughter.”

“See, there’s where you’re wrong. When a Timelord graduates the Academy, they choose a name. That name is a promise. Well guess what? I’m of age and I choose the name Elise Amelia Smith. Because I am the Doctor’s daughter and I always will be.”

Even though she couldn’t see it, three versions of the Doctor were smiling with pride at her. One who had no idea who she was, one she’d met apparently, and the one who was responsible for raising her.

“I look forward to running away from Gallifrey.” She grabbed the lever and flipped it shouting, “Geronimo!”

“Allons-y!” Ten yelled.

“Oh, for God's sake,” the older Doctor groaned, “Gallifrey stands!”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They returned to the National Gallery for a good cup of tea before saying goodbye.

Clara sat on the bench with the older Doctor, while Elise, Ten, and the Doctor stood in front of “Gallifrey Falls.” Both Doctors were wearing their glasses.

“I don't suppose we'll know if we actually succeeded. But at worst, we failed doing the right thing, as opposed to succeeding in doing the wrong,” the older Doctor said.

“Life and soul, you are,” Clara quipped.

“What is it actually called?” Ten asked.

“Well, there's some debate. Either No More or Gallifrey Falls,” the Doctor said.

“Not very encouraging,” the older Doctor commented.

“How did it get here?” Ten asked.

“No idea,” the Doctor said.

“There's always something we don't know, isn't there?”

“One should certainly hope so,” the older Doctor said. He stood up. “Well, gentlemen, it has been an honor and a privilege.”

“Likewise,” Ten told him.

The Doctor nodded his head. “Doctor.”

The older Doctor turned to Clara. “And if I grow to be half the man that you are, Clara Oswald, I shall be happy indeed.”

“That's right. Aim high.” Clara kissed him on the cheek and the older Doctor approached Elise.

“You are an exceptional woman. He should be proud of the way he raised you.” The War Doctor gently kissed her forehead and Elise hugged him.

She wished she could take away all his pain. “It’s been an honor meeting you. They shouldn’t be ashamed of you. I’m not.”

“Thank you, my dear.” He looked at his older incarnations. “I won't remember this, will I?”

“The time streams are out of sync. You can't retain it, no,” the Doctor told him.

“So I won't remember that I tried to save Gallifrey rather than burn it. I'll have to live with that. But for now, for this moment, I am the Doctor again. Thank you.” He turned to look at the TARDIS’. “Which one is mine?”

Everyone looked at the war-torn TARDIS.

“Ha!” He went inside and the TARDIS dematerialized.

“I won't remember either, so you might as well tell me,” Ten said.

“Tell you what?” the Doctor asked.

“Where it is we're going that you don't want to talk about.”

“I saw Trenzalore, where we're buried. We die in battle among millions.”

“That's not how it's supposed to be.”

“That's how the story ends. Nothing we can do about it. Trenzalore is where you're going.”

“Oh, never say nothing. Anyway, good to know my future is in safe hands. Keep a tight hold on it, Clara.”

“On it.” Clara stood up and Ten kissed her hand.

He started to go into his TARDIS when Elise grabbed onto his coat.

“Wait.”

Ten turned to her. “We’ll meet again. Don’t you worry”.

“But not like this. We’ll be back at the beginning”.

Ten smiled and put his hand on her cheek as he kissed her forehead. “Saving you is the single greatest thing I’ll ever do. You are beautiful and clever and so, so brave. He’s lucky to have you and I’m proud of you. So proud of you”.

Elise smiled through her tears as he opened the door to his TARDIS.

“Trenzalore. We need a new destination, because I don't want to go.”

Those words caused a pang in Elise’s hearts. Those were the last words he ever spoke before regenerating.

His TARDIS dematerialized, leaving one TARDIS left.

“He always says that,” the Doctor said. He walked up to the painting.

“Need a moment alone with your painting?” Clara asked.

“How did you know?”

“Those big sad eyes.”

“Ah.”

Clara put a hand on his face and kissed his cheek. “I always know. Oh, by the way, there was an old man looking for you. I think it was the curator.”

Elise stared at the painting for a moment longer, before turning to go back into the TARDIS.

“He’s me, you know?” the Doctor said.

She looked at him. “I know. I only see you, no matter what face you have.” She went inside, leaving the Doctor alone.

He sat down on the bench in front of the painting. “I could be a curator. I'd be great at curating. I'd be the Great Curator. I could retire and do that. I could retire and be the curator of this place.”

“You know, I really think you might.” An older man entered the gallery.

The Doctor stood up. “I never forget a face.”

“I know you don't. And in years to come, you might find yourself revisiting a few. But just the old favorites, eh?”

The Doctor winked at him.

“You were curious about this painting, I think. I acquired it in remarkable circumstances. What do you make of the title?” the curator asked.

“Which title? There's two. No More or Gallifrey Falls.”

“Oh, you see, that's where everybody's wrong. It's all one title. Gallifrey Falls No More. Now, what would you think that means, eh?”

“That Gallifrey didn't fall. It worked. It's still out there.”

“I'm only a humble curator. I'm sure I wouldn't know.”

“Then where is it?”

“Where is it indeed? Lost. Shush. Perhaps. Things do get lost, you know. And now you must excuse me. Oh, you have a lot to do.”

“Do I? Is that what I'm supposed to do now? Go looking for Gallifrey?”

“Oh, it's entirely up to you. Your choice, eh? I can only tell you what I would do if I were you. Oh, if I were you. Oh, perhaps I was you, of course. Or perhaps you are me. Congratulations.”

They shook hands.

“Thank you very much.”

“Or perhaps it doesn't matter either way. Who knows, eh? Who knows?”

The curator left the gallery and not a second later, a small girl came running in.

“Grandpa!”

“Clarice!” A woman with blonde hair came running in after her. “I’m so sorry about that”, she said. The woman had an American accent. Something the Doctor didn’t hear very often.

The Doctor smiled. “It’s no problem”, he told her.

“He looks like grandpa when he was younger”, Clarice said.

“He does doesn’t he?” the woman said, with a twinkle in her eye, “Now come along, darling”.

“Bye!” Clarice said and ran out of the exhibit.

“I’m sorry again. She’s a bit excitable at times. Reminds me so much of my father”, she told him.

“It’s really no trouble. I love children.”

The woman looked at the painting. “Interesting, isn’t it?”

“Yeah.”

“Funny. It looks like somewhere I know. Somewhere from a dream.”

“Who are you if I may ask?” She had to be part of UNIT to even access this gallery.

She gave him a coy smile. “The Curator’s daughter.”

The Doctor’s mind started racing as she walked off. Was she…? But then that would make the little girl…

He looked back the painting.

Oh, he was going to be busy indeed.

Impossible Girl Begins

Lack of a true character, Mary Sue, the worst companion, invention for the plot etc etc etc... This is a common description of Clara Oswald. But we already have the greatest Mary Sue of all the time and space, though for some reason we call them the Doctor. Why don’t we deserve two heroes?

The problem is Eleven openly delivers these very words: “We're running together, and she's perfect. Perfect in every way for me. Except she can't remember that we ever met. Clara. My Clara. Always brave, always funny, always exactly what I need. [..] I know how she came to be in my life, and I know what she will always mean.”

Well, she is special. And the audience doesn’t like it when the Doctor has someone special cause he has to be lonely and distant for nobody could ever match his high standards. But what if somebody really could? Let’s give Clara credit.

Clara Oswald, the original you might say. When we first meet her, the real one, she has a lot of sparkling energy, she is bold and confident, she isn’t complaining about her life as a nanny and not seeking escape. She desperately needs the Doctor to see she is in control despite the fact he owns a time machine. She doesn’t know whether he comes back or not but she still tells him “ask me tomorrow”. She can’t stand the Doctor pity her.

The Doctor doesn’t need to tell her they don’t go away for she already deals with two kids who lost their mum cause she has... guess what? A duty of care. Nevertheless, sometimes she doesn’t mind to put their lives at risk, probably, cause her beloved Marcus Aurelius wrote things like “Do not despise death, but be well content with it, since this too is one of those things which nature wills” or like “Look round at the courses of the stars, as if thou were going along with them; and constantly consider the changes of the elements into one another; for such thoughts purge away the filth of the terrene life”.

Steven Moffat also notices Clara doesn’t know she’s inside the show about the Doctor, on the contrary, she assumes she is the main character. That sounds pretty much Doctor-y, and she really mirrors Eleven. Who is Eleven?

According to River he is “an ageless god who insists on the face of a twelve year old”. The Doctor considers it’s his last regeneration so he choose to be childish, funny, weird, unpredictable, charming and very tip-toeing round people he cares about, despite his own quite vague concept of putting at risk. So, Clara and Eleven fit together cause they’re alike.

So, what do we have? Clara Oswald knows what she wants, she is clever, fast, brave, kind and confident which is good. She teases the Doctor and openly says unholy things like “the trick is don’t fall in love, sometimes I do this trick twice a day” out loud. Sounds like an impossible Mary Sue? Ok, there are some flaws as well: sometimes she is too reckless, irresponsible and bossy. She analyzes what people feel well enough to use it instead of being lead by it. Basically, the whole universe is like a big toy for her. Maybe, that’s why she is really capable to accept how the world works (at least, for humans).

The Doctor is not her life, he is her Wednesday hobby, but even though she understands his importance for the universe. Not for herself. She doesn’t seem to want to possess him or anything else. Why? Cause she’s trying to be happy with what she gets already. For greedy humans it means an incredibly expanded brain, doesn’t it? (Stoic philosophy detected)

So, one day she decides she was born to safe the Doctor cause it’s a really good thing to do. Why not? It’s a question of her own pride and self respect. She doesn’t expect him to be grateful. She is ready to die like Marcus Aurelius’s good man, and of course this experience changes her. She becomes more attentive and reserved cause she felt the Doctor’s hidden pain and doubts. This is the moment when she realises she has to be a teacher (and the Teacher sometimes).

She doesn’t expect him to be greatful after helping him to save Gallifrey either. Clara is so Doctor-y cause when she does something important, she doesn’t expect people to praise her. She just knows she’s brilliant. Maybe that’s why all three Doctors get along with her. In addition, she never fails to understand whether take things (including him) seriously or not, and when to step back. And every time she learns to seek a solution the way he does cause sometimes he forgets how to apply his own methods to himself.

In "The Time of the Doctor" she has the worst possible Christmas beyond limits. Naked dinner, naked trip to the Church, Trenzalore, war, the stubborness of her dearest friend who is willing to keep her safe against her own free will, time vortex, Trenzalore again, war, dinner, Trenzalore again 900 years later... the Doctor leaves her and lies to her twice for her own safety, but she already knows that nobody’s ever safe. She wantes to stay by his side in this dark hour despite the fact this whole situation probably drives her crazy. But that's not enough.

The Doctor regenerates into someone else who immediately says rubbish like "oh, you remember, thingy, might be Clara might not be, potato height, actually, I'm busy, sort everything out somehow". And it's still the same day. The Christmas Day. So, she is mad at him, and then he leaves her the third time cause... she’s brilliant on adrenaline? And the forth time as well. Twelve assumes she trusts him, plus he actually has enough on his plate to play nice that’s why all of a sudden he starts telling the deeply buried truth: he is happy to play her game, he doesn’t want her to change, he considers her egomaniac and needy, and he’s very well aware she’s a control freak.

She isn't used to such kind of... respect from the Doctor. But she stands Vastra’s accusations, solves the riddle, and manages to do strategy. She's not a control freak for nothing, she really can handle the situation cause it's always about people.

And in the end of the day the Doctor confronts her with "I'm not your boyfriend, but relax it's not your mistake". What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm not your boyfriend, let no flirting stage begin? Or from now on I will push you to extrems just cause you're brilliant on adrenalin? Or I will not listen to you anymore? Or don’t you dare to control me? After all this mess it would be great to hear something like "I've changed and I've got some pretty tough time on Trenzalore but I'm still on your side, don't worry" from someone who has just claimed he “has lived for over 2000 years”. Instead the Doctor decides to count on his own previous sentimental phone call and dish out this "boyfriend" thing. Of course, she doesn't know him anymore, she's not a saint in the name of sanity.

Still she stays with him because of this “he needs you” wish just to be left in Glasgow for three weeks. Аnd then a new era begins.

But it’s a story for another day.
