Summary
“You don’t like your eyebrows?”
He paused and blinked at her, surprised that out of all of the scientific explanations, all the descriptions of the alien landscape he was taking her to, and all the little quips he’d tossed at her (the ones that either landed light or cut too deep without him knowing the difference), that THAT was what she was fixated on. Actual interesting information was put to the side because for some reason an offhanded comment about local etiquette, and how his eyebrows were not conducive to being perceived as friendly was what was important to Clara Oswald.

The Doctor makes an offhanded remark (insult) about his eyebrows and Clara does not like his tone one bit

Summary
When Yaz is accidentally poisoned by the air of a spaceship, the only way to bring her back to her body is by giving her an object with a strong memory attached to it, but as her mind can't connect to her memories at the moment, the solution is for Doctor to give her one of her own, while being careful not to reveal more than she intends.

Summary
A breeze passed through him, bringing him back to his cold sopping wet present and he grimaced at his own lack of foresight. Not exactly a new phenomenon but at the current moment it was a character trait he was not very fond of.
There were a lot of character traits that landed him here that he was not very fond of.
The sensation of something thumping against his knee however brought him out of that rabbit hole before it could start.
“Well, hello,” the Doctor said, unable to mask his surprise. “You’re rather friendly, aren’t you?”
OR
After running out of the Temple-Noble household in an attempt to cope with some poorly timed unwanted memories, the Doctor makes a friend.

Summary
“It’s not about whether they come true,” Rose said quietly, breaking the silence. “It’s about having something to hope for... something to hold onto, even when everything else feels impossible.” Her eyes stayed fixated on the stars.
The Doctor didn’t answer right away. His gaze followed a drifting lantern, orange against the night sky. “Hope’s dangerous,” he murmured. “Once you let yourself want something… losing it hurts more than never having it at all.”
“Then wish for something you’ve already got,” she said, barely above a whisper. “Something you’re afraid to lose. That way, it’s not about hope. It’s about holding on.”
OR
The Doctor and Rose partake in a very special festival called the Starfall Day, meant for wish-making. What happens when Rose challenges The Doctor to write his wish?

Summary
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
Rose was sure the ground she was standing in had melted with how quickly her face had warmed. She stilled, eyes blown wide, lips open, but unable to let a sound out of them.
He pulled away to look at her. His eyes were half lidded and his smile bright. His hair was slightly mussed, and his cheeks, she noticed despite her attempts not to, were pleasantly rosy.
It made his freckles stand out.
OR
After partying with the Tyler family the Doctor is sufficiently cheery and sufficiently inebriated and nobody trusts him to safely make it to the TARDIS. Rose, only marginally more sober, walks him back, trying hard not to think too hard about how touchy the alcohol's made him.

Summary
“No. Stop. Hang on. So you’re telepathic then?” Yaz asked.
Full of interruptions today they were, though the annoyance faded as she watched something like an uneasy revelation spread across both their expressions as they exchanged almost panicked glances.
“Sort of. I suppose you could put it that way, yeah. Did graduate top of my class!” She chirped, eyeing the pair.
“And you never thought to mention this?”
or: the doctor forgets to mention things about herself and doesn't see how that might be Unfortunate

Summary
"Where are you headed, Miss?"
Yaz floundered for an answer. She was not headed anywhere. She was just waiting to see where the Doctor took her next.
She cast her eyes out into the darkness, straining her ears as she desperately tried to hear any hint of the TARDIS' engines, but there was only the screech of the wind and the gritty rumble of a truck engine in need of service.
"Don't know, actually. Someone dropped me off. I was waiting."
