Description
This tumblr post inspired me to draw this comic."After the Doctor disappears into the crack in time during The Big Bang, history rewrites itself so the show is about a series of remarkable human women traveling the universe in a borrowed alien time machine that is passed down from mentor to student. Each new assistant eventually becomes the senior-most traveling companion and must select and train her replacement.
...As the conflictβs sole survivor, Grace Holloway emerges from the Time War emotionally scarred and changed forever. However, the friendship and optimism of a young London shop girl named Rose Tyler teaches her to live again."
This seriously excites me and I'll probably do more, maybe even with backgrounds!! Haha I am terrible artist.
Older looking Grace and Ace inspired by what their actresses look like today.

I had a similar idea but the doctor retired and died in an adventure leaving his box to a girl who he would consider as a companion. I was thinking the seventh or eighth doctor passed it down giving special instructions to turn the successor of the box into a remarkable person making them part timelord maybe even regenerating them to make them able to assemble the information making them more likely to learn about the box and do what they like. This girl would learn about the doctor, timelords, gallifrey, and the tardis. They would travel the universe learning and growing. What do you think?

I wish I'd finished this, I had some pretty angsty headcanons about stuff that happened later.
Not bad headcanon yourself there.

thanks I had gotten the idea from the seventh doctor adventure Valhalla where it seemed by his comments that he was retiring. It springboarded my mind into getting the what if he had found a companion and sacrificing himself he gives her the keys to the tardis but then I listened to an old audio visuals fan audio where a companion of the doctor is seemingly the only survivor of the last adventure which killed the doctor and other companion so this companion takes the keys going in thinking he only survived and I was like what if he did what if the fob watch can do more and perhaps the chameleon arch can rewrite dna to make the companion able to become timelord enough to pilot the ship and also the episode doctor who "the lodger" helped a lot to, needing a pilot to travel the universe. It would be a hard transition for this companion but it would be like the companion really knowing the doctor and his people through the tardis, perhaps saving the universe along the way. What do you think?

I think the Doctor-TARDIS relationship is a little too close for him to essentially give her away. Β Even in episodes where he stuck around in one place he kept the TARDIS with him, like in the Snowmen or the ToTD. Β He'd probably have to be forced into staying in one place rather than just retire, or start becoming actually-senile (one Time Lord in the books went senile at around 12000 years of age).
I could see him getting an assistant, thinking he's still capable but needing help, before he messes up bad enough to acknowledge his own mortality and giving the TARDIS to them while he retires. Β He might be willing to advance their dna so they can understand well enough how to fly the TARDIS and avoid paradoxes and such.

I like that idea or maybe he is dying or feeling some deep depression, its been known to happen to the doctor. Maybe one day dunno which incarnation, he came so close to death he needed to come up with a way to advance someone to keep helping the universe after he is gone. I would think maybe the sixth or seventh doctor did it one day, he seemed like he would do it one day and forget about it. Hell maybe its some future incarnation. I love this back and forth on how this would happen. I even am starting to get something of an idea of what the companion would look like. I think the chameleon arch can help with a bit tweeking you can make the changes permanent so you could in theory make a human into a timelord or well part timelord.

I always liked Grace. Never quite understood why she wasn't more well-received as a companion.

This is really good! I've never seen any of the original doctor who's (shame on me) but grace holloway seems dead cool. Was she the companion who was the medical student and who operated on the 7th doctor????????

Yes she was! She was only in the one TV movie, which is not hard to find online. (compared to other CW)
She wasn't a medical student, she was a full-on surgeon though. And she sort of figures out time travel enough to operate the TARDIS a little bit, so she's pretty smart!

OMWG, she sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!! WWHOO- smart companions for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was she ginger- it would be the mini cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is Grace Holloway.

She was indeed a ginger!
Basically she tries to save the seventh Doctor's life and is anxious about sending him into surgery because of his x-rays. They are considered by everyone else to be a fluke however so seven ends up dying on the table and regenerating in the morgue later.
Short summary of how she gets involved with the Doc, lol.

I LOVE this idea. Especially since it would provide the PERFECT redemption for Rose's character, while still maintaining some all-important flaws, such as the fact that she abandoned Mickey. It would add a whole new level of complexity to their relationship--and thus Mickey's character--as well. Another interesting point is that it would establish the Time Lords as dangerous antagonists (with the lone exceptions of Susan and Romana, and even then Romana could start out as a type IV anti-hero). Ace and Grace thus went to war in one of the Time Lords' own machines in order to defeat them and the Daleks before either could destroy the universe. The BBC should look into commissioning some graphic novels or audio dramas of this AU.

I have some interesting stuff planned later with the Master, wait and see if I even get that far! Without the Doctor to be his enemy, what sort of man is the Master...?
(I'm putting together a quick written outline which is putting this at at least 12 parts)
