[ after delivering clara's gift, the doctor will find his wrapped in the same bright, sunshine-yellow tissue paper — with a note in the same scrawl greeting him the moment he tears into it, settled on top of a bowtie painted by alina's own hand. beneath it, a crane created from wires and various supplies from aboard the station sits. ]
Big Bird,
This is my first time painting clothing or creating sculptures, but that feels like even more reason to give it to you. You deserve something as unique and one-of-a-kind as you are. Maybe it'll come in handy, the next time someone stuffs you into a boring trenchcoat.
Either way, you'll always be The Doctor to me.
Most people in my life have passed me by, but you never have. You looked at me like I was someone special from the start without ever truly knowing me. Like I was important. Like you could see all of my potential before I ever could. That's a gift I haven't had the chance to have, but I'll always cherish it.
I hope you'll cherish these, too. (Take care of your miniature self — his wings are a little silly.)
