Here's the third drabble, thanks to the very generous fitzkreiner.bsky.social! The Eighth Doctor and Fitz in "Dream".

Dream

The Doctor dreamed.

He walked in a world of science and poetry. Children played in safety. He saw an empty Dalek casing filled with soil, overflowing with tomatoes. He smelled lilies.

A violent noise exploded into the dream. Louder. Again. He winced -- his hands flew not to his ears, but to his eyes -- he awoke --

-- six inches from the jaws of a hypnotic Carfax corpse blossom.

Nearby, desperate to wake him, Fitz was playing The Immigrant Song through a portable speaker.

A moment for sorrow. Then the Doctor grabbed Fitz by the guitar strap and ran.

If you have $20 to spare, help us desex and vaccinate a whole family of street cats -- mum and four kittens -- and I'll write you a Doctor Who drabble to say thanks for your donation! (Just three slots left!) ($20 Australian is about $13US or £10.)
