Fanfic: Spark of Life (Doctor Who, Bill Potts & Thirteenth Doctor, Public Call gift for shopfront)

My Public Call fic, which is a gift for the lovely [personal profile] shopfront, was the first to be revealed in the exchange! Here:

Spark of Life (2427 words) by AuroraCloud
Chapters: 1/1

Fandom: Doctor Who (2005)

Rating: General Audiences

Warnings: Major Character Death, No Archive Warnings Apply (er, I wasn't sure which one I should pick, considering we've got 12-to-13 regeneration, so I seem to have left both checked)

Relationships: Twelfth Doctor & Bill Potts, Thirteenth Doctor & Bill Potts, Thirteenth Doctor/Bill Potts

Characters: Bill Potts, Twelfth Doctor, Thirteenth Doctor

Additional Tags: Regeneration, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Friendship, Pre-Femslash, Fix-It, Canonical Character Death, Character Death Fix, canonical character death is Twelve's regeneration, References to S11 elements, nobody else dies, Post-Season/Series 10

Summary:Suddenly, it's the end for Bill's Doctor. Except that it's also a beginning, and Bill is there to see it.

Canon divergence AU, where Bill didn't join the Doctor for that last fateful adventure in "World Enough and Time". Everything else from the Series 10 finale happens, but he comes back to her. And then there's an explosion of light and a blonde woman with a Yorkshire accent.






In which we fix Bill's fate and put her together with Thirteen. As one does. I'd wanted to do such a thing for a long time, so when the first fic I started didn't come together, I realized I could write this. So I did.

No lesbians or people of colour were harmed in the making of this adventure.

Hee, I'm sorry I didn't have time to read this last night as well as make my WED post but thank you again. Also, fwiw, I don't personally really consider regeneration a death so I think you're fine either way on the warning front ;) although I'm not really in Who fandom enough to know if that would be a common perspective... but you've covered all your bases really well with the tags, anyway.
