“How many times have you saved me, Clara. Just this once, just for the hell of it let me save you.”
#because he couldn’t #the first time with oswin she saved him #the next time the same thing happened #and he doesn’t understand it #never has #why do people sacrifice their lives for his? #he really isn’t that special? #but he saw it with victorian clara #it was a matter of saving him #it wasn’t a matter of giving her own life because she loved him so #or because he could do far greater things than she #it was because it was the right thing to do #the possibility - or impossibility - to save him existed #she gave up her life three times because it meant saving someone else #she was willing to leave her home behind just to ‘go away with him’ #just so that he would save her world #she would sacrifice so much for what was right what was just #and she cannot even let herself be saved by him #even just this once #and that is why clara is extraordinary
#reasons why the companions are the story and the doctor is the vessel
