Author's Notes: Okay, first of all I'd like to tell you that three rules apply to this collection.

One – the drabbles are not connected to each other… well, most of the times. This also means the genres can vary – and they will vary. Two – Eleventh Doctor and Clara only. And three – the relationship between Clara and the Doctor can change from drabble to drabble, so don't get surprised. :D

You'll find two drabbles with every letter of the alphabet. Old faces might show up and crossovers might occur.

Enjoy. :)

Apple and argument

Apple

"Oh no!" Clara exclaims as she yanks the door of the oven open and a cloud of black smoke immediately engulfs her. It brings tears into her eyes – or maybe it is the sight of the burnt apple pie she was baking. She wanted to try something different from her usual soufflés, but this one turned out to be just as disastrous as her other attempts.

She is wiping her face with the back of her hand and the TARDIS smoke alarm goes off with a shrill noise. "... Great."

"Clara! Are you alright?" The Doctor storms into the kitchen and Clara involuntarily smiles.

Always so overprotective.

"Yeah. I just wanted to make an apple pie for you. I ruined it."

The Doctor steps to her and takes the cake pan from her, then wraps his arms around her waist, pulling her to him lovingly. "I guess that was a fortunate accident. I appreciate the thought, but I hate apples."

Clara looks up at him. "Oh. You do?" He nods and she stands on her tiptoes to place a kiss on his cheek. "I'm not sorry then."

"I really like pears though. And your soufflés. Make me a pear soufflé?"

"You are bonkers. But I love you."

Argument

"No, Clara, you don't understand."

"Oh really? I think I understand it just fine! You don't want me around, do you?"

"It's too dangerous."

"Yeah, sure. Dangerous. So dangerous that you want to lock me up. I get it."

"Clara, you have to understand that I can't risk your life."

"What if I want to risk my life for you? It's not like I haven't done it already."

"This is different."

"How so?"

"Never mind. I won't let you come with me."

"You idiot! What if something happens to you? What if you get into a life threatening situation and none of my echoes is there to save you? What if you… die?"

"Then I'll regenerate."

"Don't take it so lightly! Don't tell me I should be okay with that!"

"Nothing bad will happen."

"You have no idea what you are saying anymore. First you say it's dangerous, then you say it's safe. Decide it already!"

"Clara…"

"You headstrong idiot. I hate you."

"Clara, I'm sorry. But I really can't take you with me. Your life is the most precious thing in the universe – even if it isn't for you, it definitely is for me. I'd be torn apart if I were to lose you."

"… Let go of me, you silly old man. I'm mad at you."

"No you aren't. You love me."

"… Just promise me to come back. In one piece. And with this daft face, or I'll kick your sorry arse out of the ship. Understood?"

"Your wish is my command, dear."
