Doctor Who: fic: Faces

  • Jan. 9th, 2013 at 3:11 PM
Title: Faces
Fandom: Doctor Who
Word count: 100
Spoilers: for The Snowmen, the 2012 Christmas special
Summary: Incarnations aren't personae.





Faces


Incarnations aren't personae. Closer to the Hebrew partzufim, really: facets of a single gem, plural manifestations of a singular One.

Being the Doctor is a constant, no matter who or when he is. Whether or not this body likes apples, or girls, or boys.

One Time Lord, eleven faces. (So far.) That's perfectly ordinary.

But one face, one persona, one voice, on two different women? One of whom happens to be a Dalek? Both of whom possess an inexplicable interest in soufflés?

That's interesting. That's a mask on the Universe he intends to peel away.

Thanks!

I was just thinking that a few Oswin icons (incl. this one) should be my fanwork for Day 9. :D

Only you could write that first paragraph!
And now I so want to know the story behind the last one ...

We all want to know the story behind the last one -- it's been set up as the overarching mystery of this half-season. :-)

Glad you enjoyed, honey!

Thank you my dear! I do think his curiosity is one of the most essential qualities of who he is. He's interested -- even after a thousand years, the universe and the people within it are interesting to him. <3
