1Daisy Bucket is a part-time waitress and a freelance artist in the sleepy little tourist town of Lambert Head. But after a friendly ginger man commissions her to make him a drawing of a certain [[MistakenForGranite statue]] in a certain graveyard, everything changes.

12Updated Sundays. Read it [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/ here]] on Website/DeviantArt or [[http://dwregenerated.tumblr.com/ here]] on Website/{{Tumblr}} (with some more extras, like character sheets).
13----
14!! The Tropes:
15
16* AncientArtifact: The Stone Clock. And, naturally, it [[PowerGlows glows electric blue]]. [[spoiler: Guess who left it there?]]
17* AmbiguouslyBi: PlayedForLaughs for the Doctor:
18-->'''Flinders Petrie''': (looking into the tomb and asked what he sees) Wonderful things.\
19'''The Doctor''': (suddenly popping out) You're not so bad yourself!
20** Daisy, too.
21--->'''Daisy''': She's cute. I mean! Modern! She's modern!
22* AllMenArePerverts: But he remains polite about it.
23-->'''Flinders Petrie''': Carter, I'm putting this [[OurNudityIsDifferent naked child]] into your custody while I escort this man to the authorities.\
24'''Carter''': Thank you. ({{Beat}}) Uh! I-! [[VerbalBackspace I mean]] - yes, mr Petrie!
25* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
26-->'''The Doctor''': Alien time machine! BiggerOnTheInside! Very nice potted fern!
27* BatmanGambit: When unraveled from the TimeyWimeyBall, the defeat of the Weeping Angels in ''The Fallen Angel'' consists of a clever use of their nature. And a time machine.
28* BenchedHero: For a short part of ''The Fallen Angel'', the Doctor, due to regeneration-related issues. [[spoiler: Daisy has to lure the Angel where they want it, because he has to stay in the TARDIS.]]
29* ContinuityNod: He's finally ginger!
30** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E12ArmyOfGhosts Torchwood]], anyone?
31--->'''Daisy''': That's our box. Where are you taking it?\
32'''Flinders Petrie''': It is an artifact from the chamber and therefore the ''property of the British Empire''!
33** Seasoned with some BlatantLies:
34--->'''The Doctor''': My companions never wander off!
35* CreepyCemetery: Slightly, as in, it has a Weeping Angel. [[NightmareFetishist Daisy]] loves the place, though.
36* CuriosityKilledTheCast: While Daisy and Carter both have PlotArmour, their eagerness to explore the titular Tomb of the Stone Clock ''might'' be just a tad ill-advised...
37* DeadpanSnarker: Daisy has a... tendency.
38-->'''Daisy''': (upon being told not to obstruct the non-existent traffic) Yeah, this place is totally ''heaving'' right now, Ollie. It's a victorian bosom.
39* DoubleStandard: Flinders Petrie is thoroughly convinced (for a while) that the Doctor [[TimeTravelersAreSpies must be a grave robber]] out for his treasure, and dragging an innocent young woman, [[OurNudityIsDifferent barely dressed]], along. For shame!
40* FailedAttemptAtDrama: He's wearing a rather nondescript shirt and trousers that probably belong to Ollie, so the Doctor's attempt to introduce himself properly goes:
41-->'''The Doctor''': I am the Doctor. ({{Beat}}) I'm... usually wearing something a bit better when I say that.
42* FailedASpotCheck: Do not be like our heroes! Pay good attention to the page 11 of ''The Fallen Angel''... (and for Rassilon's sake, '''no blinking'''!)
43* FisherKing: This Doctor's TARDIS is a spacious, clean and rather homely place.
44* FiveSecondForeshadowing: ''The Tomb of the Stone Clock'' has writing on the wall that does not look Egyptian... [[spoiler: in the chamber right next to the one containing the modern Gallifreyan-inscribed AncientArtifact]].
45* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Coda of ''The Fallen Angel'', InUniverse. [[spoiler: Whose brilliant idea was it to scan the image of an Angel into her computer?]]
46* TheGayNineties: ''The Tomb of the Stone Clock'' is set in 1892.
47* {{Greed}}: This is [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-1-Page-1-376417471 Ollie]]. [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-1-Page-2-376420486 This]] is Ollie being shown a large amount of money. It is {{justified}} by him becoming the head of the family and sole provider when he was eighteen (hence, financial insecurity and heavily implied trauma), but still.
48* HallOfMirrors: Weaponised in ''The Fallen Angel'', but the Doctor notes that will only slow it down, not kill it.
49* HatedHometown: Daisy explicitly says she hates Lambert Head and wants to leave.
50* HaveWeMetYet: ''The Fallen Angel'' is very timey-wimey, with the Doctor [[spoiler: from the end of the story]] meeting Daisy on the first page, a couple of hours before he first meets Daisy, in order to [[spoiler: establish the StableTimeLoop]].
51* InsectoidAliens: The Scarovales look sort of like shiny beetles. They also have SuperSpit of the venomous kind.
52* ItWasHereISwear: [[http://girl-on-the-moon.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-1-Page-10-378052091 Here]]. Unusually, the Doctor knows better than to disbelieve Daisy about a Weeping Angel that she says has been there (it has...).
53* MadnessMantra: Daisy's "I'm in my box" is played entirely seriously. Sometimes, FearIsTheAppropriateResponse.
54* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: While the regeneration goes a bit south:
55-->'''The Doctor''': I may be dying. Slightly.
56* {{Metaphorgotten}}: While still cooking after his regeneration, the Doctor's mind keeps going off the rails. It's hilarious.
57* MrExposition: The Doctor. Loads.
58* MundaneObjectAmazement: Carter thinks Daisy's ''sunglasses'' are amazing.
59* NakedFirstImpression:
60** Well, he is wearing TARDIS-blue y-fronts, but that's the first time (from ''[[TimeTravel his]]'' perspective) Daisy sees the Doctor.
61** Daisy herself has this effect on the locals in ''The Tomb of the Stone Clock'', in which she's wearing a perfectly normal sundress, a scarf, leggins and boots, but the story is set in Victorian times, for which [[OurNudityIsDifferent such an attire is innapropriate bordering on scandalous]].
62* NotHimself: The Doctor [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-2-Page-15-540439528 here]]. Really not himself.
63* TheNthDoctor: In ''The Fallen Angel'', he's only just regenerated and is still in the throes of regeneration trauma.
64* OhCrap: Fairly often. The Doctor's "we're '''deep''' in trouble" face involves [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises bulging eyes]].
65* PromotionToParent: According to the cast page, when their parents were mysteriously killed Ollie had been eighteen and Daisy twelve. Hence his somewhat smothering overprotectiveness.
66* RedHeadedHero: After his regeneration, the Doctor.
67-->'''The Doctor''': Red! I'm ginger! Or... poisonous?
68* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Touch the Stone Clock, and you will be one. Daisy, at least, doesn't seem able to control it.]]
69-->'''{{Hologram}} interface''': [[spoiler: Alterations aborted. Restoring reality to previous version.]]
70* SarcasticDevotee: Daisy is an observant DeadpanSnarker and a companion who sees every hole in the [[DitzyGenius Doctor]]'s reasoning.
71* ScaryShinyGlasses: The [[ImprovisedGolems sand slabs]], or [[{{Mooks}} slave drones]] used by [[spoiler: madame el Atrash]].
72* SingingInTheShower:
73-->'''The Doctor''': Fly me to the moon! Let me play among the stars...
74* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Well, for Scarovales, it does. [[spoiler: Hence the need to [[MuggedForDisguise steal the Doctor's overclothes]] before impersonating him]]. That, and NakedPeopleAreFunny.
75* ShoutOut:
76-->'''Daisy''': I'm still expecting Derren Brown to show up any minute.
77** In ''Tomb of the Stone Clock'' she compares herself to [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]], to Carter's confusion.
78** Also in ''Tomb of the Stone Clock'', there is some [[Film/{{Stargate}} Stargate-y imagery]] - as the artist notes in the comments, [[JustForFun/XMeetsY Egyptian archaeology + aliens = Stargate-yness]] pretty much inevitably.
79* SmallTownBoredom: Daisy. But then she becomes the companion.
80* StableTimeLoop: The TARDIS vanishing in ''The Fallen Angel'' [[spoiler: because the future version of the Doctor took her]], so it's okay. The Doctor goes through a Moffat-worthy stable time ''cat's cradle'' in this one.
81* TemporalParadox: Fittingly, ''The Fallen Angel'' contains both several of these and the Weeping Angels. One could argue that the Angels bring the TimeyWimeyBall into the play. Har-har.
82* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The Doctor philosophises in this way to convince Daisy to be his companion [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-1-Page-24-381468100 here]]. He also mentions, quite matter-of-factly, his need for a MoralityChain.
83-->'''The Doctor''': ... whenever I'm alone too long... I become someone I don't like.
84* TheUnmasquedWorld: "It's 2012. A lot of things have happened to the Earth. First contact, invasions... Everyone knows about aliens." Daisy also tells her brother to call UNIT if she doesn't come back in two hours. [[ForegoneConclusion Err]]...
85* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Our heroes might have, between the two of them, unwittingly [[spoiler: [[SequelHook set up an invasion of the Angels]] ]]. Or something.
86* WakingNonSequitur: The Doctor's first words (after falling out of the TARDIS, a bit [[NakedFirstImpression underdressed]]. And singed.)
87-->'''The Doctor''': Fire. Clothes were on fire. Weren't they?
88* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: Daisy [[http://dw-regenerated.deviantart.com/art/DWR-Ep-2-Page-10-397029928 finds out the hard way]].
89* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Scarovales. The one the Doctor encounters [[{{Exposition}} tells him of]] a larger group of shapeshifters who may or may not show up in the future.
90* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Daisy wanted to meet [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Howard]] [[AdventurerArchaeologist Carter]], and there he is! Seventeen and a bit dorky, apprenticing under good ol' fashioned Flinders Petrie.
