I read this prompt earlier and I had to close my screen and go wash my eyes out and I figure I’d explain just why I’m going to offer you a fairly stern, “Absolutely not.”

Thing is, I can do a little bit of stretching.  I can put characters I know into situations they’ve never been in and I can play it out.  But that’s not what you’re asking me to do.  You’re telling me to take Danny Pink and turn him into an villain – take Clara Oswald and put her into an abusive relationship – to give you fluffy shipper feelings for your entertainment.

Aside from how seriously fucked up that is, you’re talking about Danny Pink.  A sweet bucket of rainbows who wanted only the very best for Clara Oswald and died, got put into a cyber suit, retained himself in spite of this, and not only overrode his programming in refusing to hurt her, he took charge of a whole cyber army and sacrificed himself of his own free will, to keep her and all the rest of humanity safe.  And then, when given the rightly earned option to return, he returned a boy who never should have died, atoning for a mistake he’d already been grieving over.

Danny Pink is a wonderful teacher, a dutiful soldier, a kind soul, and an upstanding man and in the direct words of the Doctor, “He will never hurt
her.”  So this is not a prompt I can even consider; this is a prompt that makes me request that you take a serious look at your life choices. 

Because abuse shouldn’t be seen as a game with winners. 

Because there are none.
