- A Better World'' (short story) -

A Better World was a short story written by Aristide Twain. It was the twentieth short story submitted by fans for the Doctor Who: Lockdown! series, for the Tweetalong of Turn Left. The main antagonist of the story, Auteur, was used under licence from Jacob Black.

Plot
In a crowded street in Shan Shen, Auteur notices Donna, and her significance to time. In a fit of hubris, Auteur decides to create a new timeline through Donna. He senses a power in the street, a Beetle, and Auteur tells its puppet, a fortune teller, to feed Donna to the Beetle. The plan is successful.

Auteur follows Donna to the new timeline, where he witnesses a Christmas Star firing upon the Earth. He knows the Renegade is dead, and, disguised as an ordinary human, shares a drink with a time-sensitive woman named Alice.

Auteur decides that he wants to tell Donna what he's done, to tell her she's the star of her story, but he's unable to reach her. Another time-sensitive woman stands in his way. One time, quite literally.

He's unable to do much, but he manages to sabotage an abandoned timeship, to seal the fate of the Renegade. Donna is sent back in time by a group of humans, and Auteur is left asking himself a question. Could she sacrifice herself for the Renegade?

Publisher's summary
A blonde in a catsuit flirting with the 8th Doctor, a scruffy old dear exploring a universe hidden in a cupboard in the Bus, the spitting image of the glorious Katy Manning on Neptune with its anatomically extravagant inhabitants, an elderly author of lesbian fiction… Iris has had a lot of faces, and been to a lot of places. She’s been all the way to the edges and back again, so it any wonder some of her adventures have been misplaced over the years, or grown tricky to uncover?

Here, gathered together for the first time ever in a new charity collection, are the Iris stories which appeared in charity anthologies, on convention stages, got lost on old web servers and fell down the back of the sofa… a selection of tales, both old and new, from the very edges of the Obverse…

Publisher's summary
Peevish actors are descending mournfully upon the remote English village of Happenstance for the funeral of TV legend Tom Baker.

His one-time costar Suzy Goshawk is sucked into a parochial vortex of intrigue involving the quailsome local vicar, Tom's acidulous housekeeper Mrs Frimbly and various other fruminous scumblebums. None of them can agree upon how Tom met his disastrous end, and Suzy is starting to suspect that something murksome and swervish is going on.

The snow comes down, and Suzy finds herself trapped at Baker's End for Christmas, with all the village's creepy pensioners enslaved by a strange, dancing dragon...and a Sinister Presence lurking on the sidelines.

Why are old ladies twerking their bottoms outside the post office-cum-mini-mart? Why is the vicar creeping about in the bushes in the dead of night? And why, just when all looks hopeless, does a strange, scobberlotching creature spring into view? Who exactly is the King of Cats in his furry costume and his battered crown?

Plot
Seeing some vaguely familiar faces sitting among the commuters, Suzy Goshawk is on a train, which whizzes past fields and forests, heading for its destination, Happenstance Village. One large lady sits opposite her, who worked with Tom Baker back in 1977. She asks Suzy if she knows how he passed, but Suzy knows as little as she does. The woman tells Suzy of an event she attended last summer with Baker, where he was convinced that the fans were doppelgangers because they hadn’t seen every episode nor could they “quote huge swathes of dialogue at the drop of the hat". After the woman believing his behaviour was a mystery, and Suzy believing that he was just having her on, they sit in silence for a while until the woman offers to do tarot cards for Suzy.
