For the WIP ask meme: 13, 17, 20? Have a good day!
13: Your characters are stranded on a deserted island. What happens?
Thirteen and Yaz on a deserted island… wouldn’t last very long, the Doctor would make a boat out of pinestraw and her left shoe and get them the hell out of there.
If you replace deserted island with “space ba sing se” so it’s more in context: lots of bad decisions and painful confrontations
17: Does your WIP have any themes or motifs?
So initially I was gonna be basing each chapter off a famous philosopher quote, given how this fic is a deeeeep dive into the Doctor’s moral compass. I’ve kind of let that plan slide, but the theme of this fic is still down to choices and what it means to be “good”. The Doctor gets put in a bunch of situations where there is no perfect outcome, but she tries for one anyways, and has to deal with the consequences of coming up short.
20: Post a brief excerpt
“I promise you,” The Doctor repeats after a pause and breath, even as Yaz casts a warning glance her way because she knows, she’s seen, promises can’t always be fulfilled, but perhaps, just perhaps, that law can be rewritten. That subconscious tool she usually keeps with her – the one that learns from her victories and losses and transcribes them into rules carved in stone, seems to be missing. Or broken. But she’s got a bucket of cement. “I will find a way to keep all of you safe.”
