Hello, anon!!
I’m guessing you’re asking me this because of the post I made regarding ff the other night. The truth is, I didn’t get to read many whouffaldi fics in ff and I haven’t read a whole lot whouffaldi fics since then. I always circle back to the same authors and stories, because when I tried to read new stuff after it didn’t affect me the way they did back in the day.
So the four authors I mentioned in my early post are the ones I would recommend you to check out. They were, I dare say, the hottest whouffle writers at the time. They all started by publishing Eleven/Clara (good old souffez) and Other Doctors/Clara fics, so if you ship “whouffle” and not only “whouffaldi” you’ll find a gold mine worth of fiction. They all ended up writing Twelve/Clara stories, but not as many with the exception of maybe C1araosw1ad who posted her last whouffaldi fic in 2019.
So that being said, here are my recomendations:
Frombluetored
Heartlines (rated T)
An unknown threat sucks the Doctor and Clara into a parallel universe and leaves them stranded. While biding their time, they encounter the Clara of that universe and her achingly familiar husband.
This story has an especial place in my heart because Heartlines takes place in the same universe of “Of adoration and chaos” an Eleven/Clara fic written by the same author. I’d say “Of adoration” is one of the best souffez fics out there and you don’t need to read it to understand Heartines, but you’ll be missing a great piece of fiction.
Everest (rated T)
AU. The Doctor, recently promoted to CEO after the early passing of John Smith, enters his new job with short-lived surety. And then he meets the COO, Clara Oswald, who’s just as determined to show the Doctor who’s really in charge as she is to show him he’ll never live up to his predecessor. Unfortunately for them, control doesn’t exist in matters of the heart.
This one contains heavy subjects, so if you aren’t comfortable with high rates of smut and unhealthy coping mechanism this story isn’t for you. This fic wasn’t an easy ride, but it was worth the effort.
Banged up ( rated M)
There were many things Clara Oswald expected when she entered prison. Catching the eye of the prison’s most notorious inmate was not one of them.
I remember this fic being really, really sexy, but also sad and angsty af. It is also unfinished and you might want to avoid that level of masochism, but hey, where is the fun in that?
Paper machine (rated K+)
Clara Oswald’s timeless relationship with the Doctor, as seen through the eyes of her smitten student.
This fic is so precious and adorable. I love it to pieces. It contains a bit of 11/clara too, like most of frombluetored fics.
E1evenc1ara
In another life (rated M)
A collection of AU one-shots featuring Clara and the the Doctor (Ten, Eleven, and/or Twelve). These are all written in response to prompts supplied by my tumblr users, which will be displayed at the top of each story.
Listen, the second story broke me in million little pieces. I’ll never over that pain. Totally worth it tho.
Again, If you dig Eleven/Clara, I would recomend you to check out The IT guy and its sequel Postcards from New York by the author.
Dreamcatcher (rated T)
This is supposed to be a doctor x clara but I couldn’t picture any other Doctor than Twelve. I’ll die on this hill.
Happy Endings (rated M)
The Doctor and Clara attend a Royal Wedding in the thirty-first century where they have a bit too much to drink.
They get drunk, they bang, the Doctor is a wrecked mess after, but everything turns all right. Pure bliss, my dudes.
D Veleniet
Hold onto me (rated K+)
Clara stood frozen, reeling from too many emotions to even name. All she could do was stare. “Doctor?” She approached him slowly, carefully. “What’s happened to you?” She swallowed against the grief that threatened to cloud her voice. “Why are you acting like this?”
The author wrote this fic in 2013, before series 8 aired and reader, the way she was on absolute point with Twelve’s characterization. I mean, Twelve being a grumpy old Scottish lil shit pointing out Clara’s physical “flaws” to deflect from the fact that he’s absolutely in love with her check. Twelve being a huge ass softie for Clara check. My heart being compromised by their dynamic and how much they love each other CHECK (also I’m so greatful Twelve never called Clara “wee” in the show, I would have slapped him)
Untouchable (rated M)
Clara stopped missing the touches, stopped smarting from his flinches when they would accidentally brush up against each other or bump arms. She stopped wondering what had changed so much inside him that had made her physically repulsive to him now. Then one night she agreed to a set-up on a blind date.
This is a sexy sequel for Hold onto me in which everything hurts, but also everything is very hot. So yeah, yeah.
This author wrote, problably the most famous eleven/clara fic back in the day : The other has my heart and its sequel More than you know They were litsed in every fic rec and rightly so.
C1araoswa1d
The Tethers Between Hearts (rated k+)
On a quiet little planet, the Doctor shares something very important with Clara.
If I could cover myself with this achingly soft piece of writing, I would. Because I can’t, I do the second best thing which is rereading it over and over, until I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Waking Dreams (rated T)
(Doctor Who AU) Life is complicated enough for Clara after an accident puts her young daughter in a coma, but through her only means of communication with the girl - an in-dream interface system - she’s meets an odd company representative who promises to help her along, quite possibly in more ways than she could ever imagine.
Welcome to Angstown, populatiom : THIS FIC
A Mirage in Time (rated M )
After Clara, the Doctor seeks out an Echo to help him move on… and finds himself just as perplexed by her and possibly just as in love.
I love C1araoswa1d’s writing so much, specially the way she depicts Clara. IDK man, part of my undying love for the character comes from the way she characterizes Clara in her stories. So yeah, please go and read all her fics. They are amazing, specialy How to fall in love with a time traveller and A path out of the dark
Bonus track, my dudes.
Anon, I know you asked me for my favorite ff.net whouffaldi fics, but I cannot left twelveclara out of this list. Her fics are iconic and you have probably read them, but fuck it.
History, like love
There are planets orbiting her eyes and her mouth tastes like the ocean; in her head she hears a shatter, like her soul has pried her ribs apart in a desperate, aching attempt to reach his. “If I could have picked anybody,” he murmurs, “it would have been you.”
My favorite soulmate au ever written in any fandom. periodt
But we’re so happy
from the outside looking in; so, maybe river’s right. people always stare at what they can’t touch.
