Doctor Who: 11 Doctors 11 Stories is a collection of short stories from Puffin Books that were originally published as individual e-books in 2013 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. Each story features one Doctor, and established companions are optional. With a different author handling each story, the tone of each one varies greatly.A twelfth story was added to the collection in 2014 to mark the formal debut of the Twelfth Doctor in the television series, and it was retitled 12 Doctors 12 Stories accordingly. It was announced that it would be re-released in November 2018 as 13 Doctors 13 Stories with a Thirteenth Doctor story.For the sake of editing, each story and its tropes has its own folder."Nothing O'Clock" has its own page.Tropes:

Primal Fear
 Doctor Who: 11 Doctors 11 Stories / int_20215dc6
comment
Primal Fear: 78351 is desperate to stay awake as much as is possible due to a paralyzing fear of the dark. This fear stems from the sadistic things the scientists did to him and his fellow prisoners in the dark, claiming that whatever was done then didn't matter.... He also is deathly afraid of needles.

Brutal Honesty: Truth Tellers can make anyone speak only in this manner, no matter how much it hurts themselves or others. The Doctor reveals that in fact they only reveal what the wearer believes to be true, not what is objectively true. Big difference.

Incredibly Obvious Bomb
 Doctor Who: 11 Doctors 11 Stories / int_325ef3ab
comment
Incredibly Obvious Bomb: The killer planted one of these in the room where the lighting and coffee dispensing systems are operated from to cause the blackouts; the disruption of the coffee supply may or may not have been intentional. The past tense is important — this was a time bomb, and to make sure it wasn't deactivated before it went off, the two technicians who were in the control room were killed...which means there are now four victims of the murderer.

30-Second Blackout: A near-literal application of this trope, twice over at that, as the Doctor and co. are waiting in line for their coffee — and those seconds are all that the killer needs to strike and go undetected.

The Reveal: The mysterious killer who strikes in the dark is 78351. He takes on a monstrous, energy-hungry form in darkness, and denies its existence. The Doctor realizes that he is simply scared and needs to accept and transform into his adult form.

Serious Business: Coffee for those who come to Choris — when it's first announced that the coffee's suddenly run out in the cafe, it causes a panic that's only intensified by the blackout and murder that follows. For some of the patrons, their need for coffee remains more of a concern than the fact that there's a killer on the loose!

Trapped in TV Land
 Doctor Who: 11 Doctors 11 Stories / int_6ba2b94f
comment
Trapped in TV Land: The main premise. In the climactic stretch, they wind up traveling through several lands extrapolated from Martha's memories: Martha comments to Rapunzel, while stuck on her tower, that she loves her story — and via time-travel she's seen the movie too. (Martha is from 2008 Earth; said movie wasn't released until 2011.) Dracula gets punched by the Doctor! Bonus points for being book-accurate (bearded, for one thing). Miss Havisham gets chewed out by Martha, who struggled through her story as School Study Media. Martha wonders if she can't give Estella what for, too... The Doctor and Martha narrowly escape being zapped by wizards in Hogwarts. Doubles as a Continuity Nod to "The Shakespeare Code". An encounter with "a nervous girl" and a sparkly boy in the woods forces Martha to ask the Doctor not to judge her...(also a Take That!).

As it turns out, he and other Dipthodats have this attitude towards anyone who isn't their kind!

Face Your Fears: 78351 is terrified by the situation he and the Doctor are in, as it punches all of his Primal Fear buttons — and then some when The Reveal is made. The compassionate Doctor tells him that, often, admitting to one's self that they are afraid can be the hardest thing in the world, but it must be done if those fears are to be faced and conquered...and 78351 rises to those challenges in the end.

Busman's Holiday: The Doctor's just trying to fetch coffee, and this happens! Or so it seems. He's using the excuse of fetching Clara coffee to continue his investigation of the killings on Choris.

 Doctor Who: 11 Doctors 11 Stories / int_9dab0a6e
comment
Continuity Nod This is set on the Planet of the Coffee Shops (aka Choris), which the Doctor briefly mentioned in "The Girl Who Waited". This takes place while the Doctor is picking up coffee for Clara — possibly between the end of "Deep Breath" and him turning up in "Into the Dalek" three weeks later. (Black said in an interview that she was given the first four Twelfth Doctor scripts to reference in writing this story, and those episodes are the first two.) The Doctor regards the wares of this planet as the third-best coffee in the universe. His old UNIT colleague Sergeant Benton made the second best, and Elisabeth Pepys the absolute best. Apparently quite a few Whoniverse species frequent Choris; background characters here include a Terileptil, a Silurian, a Graske, and a Vinvocci. See also Heinz Hybrid below. The Doctor explains to 78351 that sometimes a person wants to tell themselves something important, but does not do it directly — they might do it by way of a different face, for example, one they don't like...

Deliberate Values Dissonance: The Doctor is not impressed when he learns that the overweight kid who follows the Troublemakers around is picked on by everybody, even his relatives, and correctly guesses that he is only known by the name "Fatty". Martha points out that the books were written in a less sensitive time.

comment
Fun with Acronyms: A serious, subtle example that turns out to be Foreshadowing. The Intergalactic Coffee Roasting Station is known as ICRS for short, pronounced "Icarus". Icarus flew too close to the sun on wings of feathers and wax and ended up drowning in the sea below him. 78351 pilots his ship in the direction of a sun to obtain the energy he needs for his final transformation, even though the act may kill him. As he changes, he sprouts wings.

Have We Met Yet?: Another incarnation of the Doctor saved 78351 and his fellow prisoners/subjects from the sadistic experiments years before. 78351 remembers the name and recognizes a similar enthusiasm, but Twelve, who is forgetful even by Doctor standards, initially doesn't remember this and it's left unclear which Doctor was the rescuer.

Puberty Superpower: What 78351 and his fellow prisoners originally were is never specified, but it's strongly implied they were human or at least humanoid. They were operated upon from birth, were freed by the Doctor, and have all effectively hit puberty by the time this story begins; a female he's attracted to just had her antennae grow in. He came out a bit differently and actually has this trope going for him: His unconscious efforts to complete the process of becoming a winged beast have turned him into a killer in a deconstruction of this trope.
