The only one of these I’ve gotten to is the sixth one (and… possibly the third, if I’m interpreting hints and the TARDIS Data Core wiki correctly?). But reblogging anyway.

‘I know what you’re wondering,’ said the Doctor cheerfully. ‘Did he fire that thing six times or only five? Well, to tell you the truth I think I’ve lost count, sorry about that. So you’ve got to ask yourself one question. Do you feel lucky… sir?’

The guard didn’t move. From behind, Sam could tell his look of utter confusion must be giving way to the more familiar what‐are‐you‐on? expression.

The Doctor arched his eyebrow inquisitively. ‘Well, do you?’ The guard just stared at the Doctor’s hand.

‘That’s a banana,’ he said.

The Doctor stared at him, as if wondering why he was stating the obvious. ‘Of course,’ he said, gesturing with the outstretched fruit. ‘But the item my friend just retrieved from your holster isn’t.’

Doctor Who: Seeing I, Jonathan Blum and Kate Orman.

Yes, the Doctor just (mis)quoted Dirty Harry while waving a banana around. Interpret that as you will.

“Sherlock Holmes solved the case before I could, as I recall.”

“Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character,” Trix pointed out.

The Doctor grinned. “My dear, one of the things you’ll learn is that it’s all real. Every word of every novel is real, every frame of every movie, every panel of every comic strip.”

“But that’s just not possible. I mean some books contradict other ones and -“

The Doctor was ignoring her.

this has got to be up there as one of the best quotes of doctor who in any media.

“I’d trust him with my life,” said [General] Kramer. “But he never invited me over for dinner, you know what I mean? We just saved the world and got on with it.” She turned the knob, found the door was unlocked, and stepped inside. “And I don’t think either of us was pushing to be any closer friends than that.”

“Adrienne!” The Doctor bounded into the foyer with a huge smile on his face, and before Kramer was even through the door he had grasped her hand in both of his. He shook it enthusiastically as she stood there with her mouth working up and down in confusion. “It’s been absolutely ages. So how’s everything back in Washington? How are George and the little ones? Not that they’re little any more, not by this point in time. Be sure to tell young Adam I said hello. I saw him at his university last year. Good job on handling that Brieri scouting party, by the way. Well, come on into the kitchen, there’s pancakes and toast and eggs for everyone…”

Kramer looked like she’d just been hit in the face with a cream pie.

Kate Orman is one of my favorite people to ever write the Doctor.

I’m doing the EDA readalong at Henrietta Street, and I’m really looking forward to her other books, especially The Year of Intelligent Tigers (which is a long ways away, since we’ve only just started…)

Fitz Kreiner pony reference sheet, by Lissy-Strata.

I’m giving the Eighth Doctor Adventure novels a second go after stalling out years ago; this time I’m doing the henriettastreet@lj readalong, so hopefully I’ll be able to keep up the momentum.

We’ve just started this month, with Vampire Science, so it’ll be a while before we get to the legendary Fitz Kreiner, but I’m excited for him and for Anji! (No Anji pony yet, sadly.) I do know Fitz at least a little from skimming The Taint and stalling out mid-Demontage, which means I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Let’s not even get into Eight’s audios or comics right now eee so much beautiful and intimidating canon to sink my hands into

Anyway, yeah. Reading is fun and pony!Fitz is adorbs.
