Status Updates From Doctor Who: Vampire Science...

a 8th doctor history with (hot) vampires which the very first chapter starts in a lesbian bar seems like something made specifically for me idk.

this is so epic i love how its exploring the consequences of being a companion, and also the doctor and joanna bonding over immortality is so nice and so interesting!!

‘Ok, ok,’ said Harris. ‘Don’t get your Gallifreyan knickers in a twist.’

6 pages in and this might already be one of the dykiest dr who stories i have ever consumed what the hell. companion described as butch/girl hitting on said companion/the doctor described as looking like oscar wilde/“two women in a close embrace”. this fucking rules i should have become an EDA girlie years ago

'But why save our lives, specifically?' threw in Abner from the circle. 'After all, aren't we what you're supposed to be saving people from?'
'Because war is boring. It's all people telling other people what to do.'

Harris looked thoughtful. 'These, I take it, are the Time Lords,’ she said in perfect deadpan.
Time Lords, thought James. Oh boy.
'You make it sound like it's hard to believe,' the Doctor pouted.
'Just a bit. I mean, you expect me to buy that you're some kind of mythical creature?'
'Joanna,' he pointed out, 'You're a vampire.’
‘Touché.’

‘So, I see his taste for younger women hasn't changed.'
Sam gave Kramer her best extra-polished freak-out-the-mundanes smile. 'Compared to him,
we're all younger women.'

Hahhaaha true

“There was a beautiful Victorian writing desk, right out of a BBC costume drama.”

WHAT IN THE META

Eva was staring up at the Doctor, an animal look of hatred and fear on her face.
'At least I'm giving you a choice,' he said. Carolyn realised that his hands were shaking. 'That's more than you've given anyone.' He looked - he looked afraid, as though he was the one on the business end of the stake. 'Please. Talk to me.'

She found herself staring at his elven face with something close to awe. So what if maybe he'd picked the apartment lock before she'd got to look at it? So what if his saving her from Eva had been all bluster and psychology? That didn't change the effect he had on the world around him.
He was magic.

‘Sam has to work at being weird, thought Carolyn, but for the Doctor it just came naturally.’

It was a face will of experienced innocence, the look of someone who had seen the worst the world had to offer and walked through unscathed.
