the doctor is literally a glue trap that fitz got stuck in. don't pull him out though because he likes it there

#this juxtaposition is driving me insane a little bit though #like the way sam views the doctor as a staunch upholder of. idk. ethics and morality #as a 'hero' essentially - as she puts it #while fitz perceives him more like an innocent. a bystander. an 'innocent' #if he does something bad it wasn't his fault/the bad thing wasnt even that bad really/the circumstances made him do it but regardless #the doctor is someone who needs protecting #the doctor is a honeyed pitcher plant that smells so so sweet that sam and fitz both fell hook line and sinker for i fear #oh well. many such cases. #doctor who #edas #fitz kreiner #sam jones #eighth doctor
