Summary
“Can cranes drown?” you had asked. And you’d worried for a moment that asking had been wrong, because Daddy stared at you with eyes like scalpels between bites of sweet melon until the water stilled.
“Oh, yes,” he told you. “If it breathes air, it can drown. Never, ever forget that, Helena.”

Only one of them truly believes that. -

The Doctor wanders Sheffield at night in search of something that looks like home. Instead, it finds her.

Summary
She was warm. The Doctor was warm. The waking sun kissed her skin and soaked into the clothes she had chosen for herself, all those years ago. She liked these clothes. They had lots of pockets that fit lots of spectacular things. What would the next one think of everything she’d crammed into them? The Doctor wished she could ask.
Then, she smiled, realizing she was about to find out.
