I would sell my soul for Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair and that is FINAL
We need a Liv & Helen snowball fight, please!
(@riversofmars - I might be looking at you! 😜)
Happy 5th of December! Happy Krampusnacht or, as I like to call it, "Fairytale of Salzburg" Day.
It's that time of the year again! In this year's DW advent calendar fic, I'm taking my favourite TARDIS team to Victorian London. I will be posting a chapter every day and adding them in retweets below!
Summary: Life in the TARDIS is not punctuated by holidays and yet, the Doctor, Liv Chenka and Helen Sinclair feel like they're due just that. The Doctor takes his friends to Victorian London to enjoy the Frost Fair but things are not as peaceful as they seem: Shortly after their arrival, they get roped into a mysterious string of burglaries that involve the disappearance of festive decorations and its cheer. While they face a Christmas mystery with the help of new acquaintances and old friends, the greatest challenge for Helen, however, is how to deal with her feelings for her best friend. (Rating: General)
The conclusion to "From The Beginning To The End Of Time"! Hope you enjoyed the story <3
“So, the time-crossed lovers,” the Doctor dropped into an armchair and Missy pursed her lips, eyeing him with the watchful curiosity of a bird of prey. She rounded her piano and perched on the bench, tilting her head expectantly.
“What about them?” She queried with carefully curated disinterest in every syllable.
“Good story, don’t you think?” He retorted, holding aloft a well-worn paperback. Colourful sticky notes were poking out of the pages.
“If you like that sort of thing,” the Time Lady gave a dismissive wave of her hand. “I mean, it’s a bit sickening, isn’t it, those lesser species and their constant LONGING for each other. Ugh. I mean, I understand why he did it, the Toymaker,” she gave a theatrical sigh.
Oops nearly forgot to cross-post the final part! Thank you everyone that's been following this story, I hope you enjoyed it! Let's wrap things up before the March prompt challenge :D
“Took you long enough, close that door!” The Doctor instructed as Liv finally convinced Helen inside the blue box. It wasn’t a moment too soon: a voice boomed through the TARDIS.
“Gallifreyan strike force calling the Doctor.”
“Just in time.” The Doctor sounded pleased and another, more impatient voice cut in.
“Doctor, I know you’re in there still!”
“Romana, thanks for coming,” the Doctor opened a communications channel to the other TARDIS while Liv maneuvered Helen towards one of the Doctor’s big armchairs. A blonde woman in Gallifreyan robes appeared on one of the screens and gave the Doctor a scowl.
I absolutely loved this fic! Although, fair warning, there’s a good bit of keeping people in suspense with cliffhanger endings to chapters.
Also, be warned that there is what amounts to torture by the Master against the Doctor’s companions. It’s not gratuitously graphic.
Anyways, start reading the whole thing from here.

They're in trouble now, though. The Ravenous are coming. Are any of their preparations going to be enough?

3.3 L.E.G.E.N.D. by Matt Fitton
Over years of study and research, the Brothers Grimm built a compendium of folklore: stories of witches and wizards, magic and morality, strange creatures and treacherous forests…
Professor Marathanga does much the same, on a universal scale. But her methods are rather less rigorous, using technological shortcuts to fill her intelligent database – L.E.G.E.N.D.
When worlds collide, the TARDIS crew discover that fairy tales can become real. And the Doctor’s latest companion is put to the test. Will the Eleven be an asset, or one more monster to defeat?
I know there probably won’t be a ‘snogging solves everything’ fairy tale trope moment between Liv & Helen, but… it would be a perfect opportunity, right?
Well we’ll just have to write one, won’t we? *smirks*
Liv/Helen 3, 18, and of course 38 ;) (the one about the kinks... in case I got the numbers wrong. lol.)
3. - Are they open about their relationship? How do they feel about public displays of affection?
They’re not not open about it. But Liv isn’t going to be parading it around (because Liv is a rather private person and their relationship is no one else’s business) and Helen probably still has hangups over gay relationships being okay.
Plus - it totally depends on when and where they are. Because in some places it wouldn’t be safe for them to be open.
They’re probably a bit more PDA inside the TARDIS (at first the Doctor finds it cute, and is happy for them. But eventually he’s just ‘oh not again, get a room’) than outside, but there’s most definitely lots and lots of hand-holding.
18. - What are their dates like? How long do/did they date? Do they ever feel the need to take a break from each other?
Liv 100% uses her bff relationship status with a Time Lord to her advantage. She’ll get him to pilot the TARDIS and take Helen to see the Ancient Wonders of the World, ancient theatrical plays, THE CREATION OF THE ROSETTA STONE. Helen is weak for how much effort Liv puts into it, because they both know Liv doesn’t really care for this stuff.
THEY DATE FOREVER (at least until they get married)
No. Whenever they’re apart, their only thought - unless currently running for their life - is ‘when will I see them again’
38.- What are they like in the bedroom? Any kinks/fetishes/turn-ons? Anything they won’t do?
Probably awkward at first, to be realistic. We don’t know enough (yet? come on BF) about Helen’s history, but I’m going to continue assuming she’s repressed af thanks to the time she grew up in. I don’t doubt she’s had partners but there’s still the hangups, getting used to the idea that she doesn’t have to hide her relationship with Liv.
Turn ons: literally anything the other does. This is canon. You know it, I know it. We all know it.
Liv: punches someone/thingHelen: whelp, to the bedroom, Liv!
^ canon
As much as this will probably disappoint Shar, I don’t actually see them as being particularly kinky? (Which is weird, coz I’m the first to be like “[slams table] give me your finest kink smut” when it comes to otps/fanfiction) At least nothing too extreme. But then I’m not into extreme smut anyway so…maybe this is just me projecting lmao
TBH I don't think Helen has actually dated or had (m)any partners. The vibe I get from her when she's at that party in The Red Lady is that she really isn't into men, and because of her repressed sexuality, she has not had the courage to date girls. Maybe a couple of very intense friendships with them while at school (from her conversation with/reaction to River at their first meeting), but I'm not sure they involved even kissing.
This is just my own headcanon.
“But you’re more than that.”
Oh yeah, Helen, she’s so much more than that - just as you’re more than a friend for Liv...
I ship it baby!
Am re-listening to Doom Coalition as my day’s entertainment, and am definitely shipping Liv/Helen/River as an OT3, as well as Liv/Helen as an OTP.
And I want ALL THE FIC!
Good gods, Muse, can you really fuck off please?
I want to write a Helen/Liv AU - with Liv as a pilot and Helen as a translator working for the Resistance. Liv flies Helen to France and they get shot down, and hurt/comfort and slow burn ensues.
