Doctor Who Drabble: Ageing Well

Title: Ageing Well

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: The Doctor.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 062: Vintage at dw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The Doctor sees himself as a vintage wine, improving with age.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.

The Doctor likes to think he improves with age. When he first started flitting around the universe in his purloined TARDIS, he’d been hardly more than a callow youth, despite resembling an elderly man with a touch of the mad scientist.

Some of his regenerations look younger than others, making it seem that he’s ageing backwards, but no matter how youthful he looks, each new body still contains all the accumulated knowledge and experience of his former selves, even if it’s not always readily accessible.

Age doesn’t necessarily equal maturity though. Youth is for those old enough to enjoy it.

The End

Lovely, and so very him. :)

Thank you! I was quite pleased with this one =)

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Very welcome, and I don't blame you, there!

He (especially Eleven) has one advantage over wine: That boy can give me a hangover any day! ;D

[bk_forever]

Yeah, Eleven is so adorable =D

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

He so is! I just want to cuddle him! ^.^

[bk_forever]

The problem would be getting him to stay still long enough, lol!

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Hehe, no kidding! He's Hyperactivity personified!

[bk_forever]

You might have to chase him until you corner him ;)

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Lol! I don't think I could move that fast. ;D

[bk_forever]

I'd need someone to lasso him, my running days are long past!

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

And I'm a hopeless klutz.

I think we're gonna have to give up on this one. ;)

[bk_forever]

Probably. Shame about that. Maybe we can find someone slower and easier to catch, lol!
