Hello all! I have been dealing with the impending departure of Jenna Coleman by writing some additions to my favorite Clara/Doctor scenes; if there is a particular scene you would like let me know! I'm mainly focusing on hurt/comfort wump type things. For this fic, I am planning on sticking to post-episodes/missing scenes and cannon relationships, but if there are other things you would like to see I could add a different story for them. Enjoy!

Summary: What happens between Clara passing out and waking up in her bed.

The Bells of Saint John

The Doctor's hearts clenched simultaneously in relief as Clara took in a desperate, wheezing breath. He impulsively lifted the small woman's shoulders off the ground, gently pressing their foreheads together. "You're fine, you're back," he breathed, running his fingers through her glossy hair. "Yes you are, oh yes you are." He punctured his fragmented statements with a gentle kiss to her forehead. He had found her – the impossible girl – and she was going to be okay.

The Doctor pulled her small body into his lap and continued to graze his fingers across her head. He was determined to keep her safe. She had died twice before and it was all his fault. Now it was his job care for her, to keep her safe. If he had to sit outside her room, fending off rabid Daleks with his screwdriver for eternity to ensure her safety, so be it. He would not lose her again.

Clara's limp body slipped slightly down his knees towards the floor, so he gently lifted her into his arms and allowed her head to roll against his chest with a soft thump. He nudged the walking bay-station out of the way as he ascended the narrow staircase. The metal skeleton clanked loudly as it collapsed and toppled down to the floor below. This strange contraption would need further examination, but that could wait. The young woman in his arms was his first priority.

The low doorway to Clara's attic room proved to be a bit of a challenge. The Doctor cautiously maneuvered himself through it sideways, holding Clara as close as he could to prevent her from bashing against the wall. Once inside, he put her down on the pastel carpet – careful to cushion her head – then turned to pull down the covers on her bed. He placed his charge on the thick mattress and pulled the fleece blanket up to her shoulders.

Clara sighed contentedly and turned to her side but did not wake up. It was probably a good thing, the Doctor decided, since getting your life force sucked into a mysterious database would be exhausting. He should probably let her rest for a bit. He should probably turn and walk down stairs. Right now.

But he couldn't. He couldn't make himself leave, couldn't force his body to obey. Instead he stepped back and watched as a stray brown hair fluttered against her small nose with every breath, reveling in the impossibility of it all. How could she be here? How could such an enigma exist without violating at least 6 universal fourth-dimensional laws of reality? After he had watched the spark of life leave those wide brown eyes? After she had sacrificed herself so that he could live to fight another day?

An angry grumble from his stomach jerked the Doctor out of his daze. One thing that the Monks did not have was good food. They had never even heard of fish fingers or custard! And Clara might be hungry when she woke up; it would be nice to have a snack waiting when she was ready, but not fish fingers and custard. Amy had informed him on many occasions that normal people did not eat them together, though he could never quite understand why. Jammie Dodgers would be nice though. Or a banana; bananas were good.

This new quest broke through the Doctor's brief paralysis. He bent down to place one more kiss in Clara's sweet-smelling hair before exiting the room in search of food.

Thoughts? I know it can be hard to write any criticism, but I would really like to know if there was anything you didn't like. You can be nit-picky as long as it's constructive. I'm almost done with the Journey to the Center of the TARDIS chapter, and I have ideas for a few others. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
