Written For: juliet316’s prompt ‘Doctor Who, Eleven, he's not exactly coordinated this time around.’ at fic_promptly.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters. They belong to the BBC.

He's not exactly coordinated this time around; his legs and arms are long and gangly, and they seem to have minds of their own. At times, he’s almost worried that if he doesn’t pay attention they’ll wander off without the rest of him, which would be awkward. He makes the best of it though; he has no other choice.

Running, he soon discovers, is a weird experience; his long legs certainly eat up the ground, but he imagines he looks a bit like a… well, he’s not entirely sure. Definitely not something graceful though. Not that he ever has been graceful as such, he’s just even less graceful than usual, and his legs will persist in tripping him up so that he keeps blundering into things. Still, he’ll adjust eventually, he’s done it before; it just takes time to get used to a new body.

Really, it’s not until Amy and Rory’s wedding that he finally feels he’s getting the hang of it, and at last he finds something his new body is good for: dancing! Everyone at the reception seems to agree, and so he dances, all night long. Perhaps his new body isn’t as uncoordinated as he thought.

The End

Lol - love the idea of the Doctor being like a new born foal. While concentrating on where one limb should be placed, the other limbs decide to do their own things. So cute!

Thank you! I completely adored Eleven, partly because he was so awkward and gangly with a body that went its own way without him seeming to have much say in the matter half the time. Couldn't help but smile at him, especially with his bow tie and fez, so adorably dorky!

Thank you.

...well, for a certain value of "good for dancing," I suppose. *pats him on the head indulgently*

Well, people were smiling... Besides, as long as he was enjoying himself, that's what matters, right? He certainly has plenty of flexibility, I'll give him high marks for that, even if those limbs were still somewhat wayward, lol!

Thank you!

I just love Eleven so much, I want to take him home and keep him forever, he's so wonderfully dorky!

Thank you!
