Doctor Who Drabble: Foiled Again

[bk_forever]

Title: Foiled Again
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Blon Fel Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen, Ninth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 469: Snookered at dw100.
Spoilers: Boom Town.
Summary: Blon Fel Fotch can’t win against the Doctor, no matter what she tries.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




Blon Fel Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen felt frustration well up inside her. The Doctor was too smart, too knowing; every move she made he countered effortlessly, thwarting her again and again until she wanted to scream, but somehow she restrained herself.


She smiled politely, pretended to be enjoying herself as they ate their meal.


It wouldn’t do for the humans in this restaurant to think she and the Doctor were anything other than two perfectly ordinary people having dinner together, even though nothing could be further from the truth.


This was a battle of wills, and the Doctor had her snookered.

"Margaret" was quite the match for Nine. But he had it covered.

There was no trick she could try that he couldn't counter.

Thank you!

A good take on the cat and mouse trope.:)

[bk_forever]

I've never been much for tropes, I just write what I write.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I try not to label things. That's just my habit of linking topics in my head.:)

[bk_forever]

I seldom recognise tropes anyway.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I did research in order to avoid writing it myself. Plus, I came across it in episode reviews for certain TV shows like: Castle.

[bk_forever]

I have nothing against writing them, but it's not deliberate.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Gotcha. Sometimes tropes are another word for a common theme.

[bk_forever]

I thinks that's basically the definition of a trope. I just don't consciously seek to write particular themes. I just write what I'm inspired to write by whatever prompt I'm working from.

It's better that way.*nods*
