This is a gradual summary of the ENTIRITY of the Twig story plotlines.
It also contains author's notes and various other bits.
There are three ways of dealing with time travel in Doctor Who (you might want to print this out for future use.)
1. Look, it's just a story, time travel is completely impossible, the whole thing's a farrago of lies, ooh, look at those monsters.
2. Time can only sometimes be rewritten, and the Doctor has a vast and terrible Time Brain that allows him to see when events can be altered and when they are fixed, but for us mere mortals, such insight would turn our brains to soup, ooh, look at those monsters.
3. Ooh, look at those monsters!
I like 3. It's quicker.

Profile: Twig One
In his very first incarnation, Twig seemed to set a benchmark for the personalities of all the others to come. He is as eccentric and emotional as the rest of them, but not yet with the abhorrence of evil that all the other Twigs seem to have gained.
His work on the TARDIS project was, in effect, the beginning of Autherian history as known during the tales. This story occurs about 30000 years before the Autheria shown, for example, in All's Fair. He and Death worked together for a number of years in improving the design of the TARDIS.
During this time, Twig grew to love the person who was almost his counterpart in every respect:- whilst Twig was named for life, Death was named, rather darkly, for the final end. Death reciprocated these feelings, but the circumstances of Death's first regeneration caused him to go against everything Twig and he himself stood for.
There then was, of course, the subsequent TARDIS prototype explosion that killed Twig for the first time.
Author's Notes
I always wonder what people's reactions would be to the fact that the first book of the TARDIS trilogy that would represent Twig's first and second lives would be practically shoenen-ai.
I blame Ludwiggy. He's a corrupting influence.

THAT IS NOT TRUE. LUDWIGGY EQUALS GOOD ROLE MODEL.
(Camera zooms out to reveal that Ludwiggy is currently sucking on NB's head. Handstand McGoo pries Ludwiggy off with his halberd.)
Uh....what just happened? Whatever. So let me get this straight, Twig is a member of the same race as Dr. Who or does he simply go on adventures similar to his. Either way, sounds pretty unoriginal.
(Camer zooms out to reveal that NB is nothing more than the combination of many a poorly-excused rip-offs more apparent and less original than any rip-off before them.)
Anywho, is there a chance you can go into a bit more detail about Death? 'Cause at the moment, you cover him/her with the vague nature of a bad Wikipedia article. Also, are you implying that the original you went back in time to pretty much started his own race? If that's the case, time travel has always thrown me off. One last thing, what is "shoenen-ai?" Does it have anything to do with that Shoenen Jump guy who made all of those animes I don't care for (no offense to Wanopio and his fondness of One Piece)?
Of course, I recognize that you probably don't feel like talking right now so I'll wait until the dark cloud floating over your head goes away for your response.

Ah, yes, I should go over Death.
The incredible similarity to Doc Who is actually explained in the very last book... so you'll have to wait for Twig 13.
Anyways...
Profile:Death
Death could be considered the main adversary of Twig throughout his lives.
However, at the very start he was the complete opposite. Death befriended Twig when he first appeared from nowhere, being the only one who seemed to understand what Twig was going through.
Over a course of 700 years whilst working on the TARDIS project, they fell in love.
Then, Death was hit by a Phazon laden meteorite which corrupted his regeneration. His entire personality matrix within his DNA, the part which vaguely govens the emotional profiles of the various regenerations was shattered; this caused him to go insane.
Since Twig was the only major person within his life up to that point, he believed that Twig's ideals were the entirety of society, and he rebelled against them. However, his second regeneration was sneaky, it hid away until the moment was right to unveil it's master plan and destroy Twig.
Not realising, of course, that Twig would regenerate just like him.
Death and Twig continued to fight throughout their lifetimes, in a somewhat temporally confused manner; Twig killed Death's final form in his fourth regeneration.

Nice Metroid reference. If memory serves, Phazon had similar affects on lifeforms in Metroid Prime, right? Or did it just kill that alien race?
Very nice story overall. Interesting to see that he's dead and that the bulk of your story shows you just living your life as opposed to spending the entire series fighting your foe. Was Death's final regeneration like a final boss fight where it was gigantic and powerful or was it just his last life and Twig had to put an end to someone he once loved?

Okaaaay.... Am I the only one who finds it strange that Twig (male) falls in love with Death (also male)?
Or is this just some weird Brit thing I don't understand?

I thought Autherians didn't care about gender because it's always in flux. Don't Autherians fall in love based more on personalities and less on looks and/or procreation?

Yes, that is very much true.
And face it, if you could change gender at any given moment, would you care about gender?

Ooookay....
On a side note, which regeneration (life) was it where story-Twig was female?
Cause I got a book for christmas that has a girl named Twig, and she's rather goofy. She also disappears, presumably dies. But the reader does not know for sure.....

The book, by the way, is called "Pendragon: The Pilgrims of Rayne."
It is ninth in the "Pendragon" series, which is a sort of young adult sci-fi/fantasy storyline. Very interesting. But I saw this girl, this "Twig," who sniffed the main character's cheek and said, "You smell of fear," and smiles.
I was like, "Whoa, that's a major coincidence. Name's Twig, and she's goofy. I have to tell Twig on TFoR!"

Book: The TARDIS Trilogy: Genesis, Rejection, Outcast
Genesis
"Your sentence, Destroyer. A lifespan in which to prove yourself. You have one cycle to prepare."
Our story starts in very early Autherian history; the year of this story relative to the others is unknown but known to be far far before them. Ixy, an unknown Autherian is
sitting in a field when he sees a strange meteorite heading to within a hundred meters of him. He runs, and returns to the crash site to find a person lying there on the
floor. There is a holographic note attached to the person...
'Twig'
We skip forward to the TARDIS project. A combination of school and work, Twig and Ixy are well known around campus as a pair of people that always seem to go
together; they are in the same classes and work in the same area of TARDIS development:- Putting TARDISs together.
This story mainly serves as an introduction to Autherian Culture in a far more detailed way than has been utilised in books like All's Fair. However, this is certainly not the
Autheria of All's Fair. It is actually set about 30,000 years before All's Fair within Autherian timelines.
Ixy also is caught up in a complicated murder enquiry, actually headed by the person who was 'murdered'. Unfortunately, his memory was scrambled due to the violent
nature of the incident, and Ixy is labelled as a suspect. Whilst he was found to be innocent, it lead to a rather unfortunate nickname...
'Death'
The book ends with the new prototype TARDIS out on the testing block, Twig beside it, exploding.

Did you actually write "Genesis" or is that something you're working on/something you're saying that you wrote? Either way, it sounds/sounded cool and I had a funny feeling that Ixy was going to turn out to be Death. It makes more sense that his name "Death" is actually a nickname and not the name of his role in the universe as I originally thought he was the embodiment of death. "Genesis" also provides more of a setup for the tragedy of your fued with Death seeing as how readers would have been given time to see you two as friends only to have everything fall apart in the end as opposed to knowing that you were friends earlier through a narrator telling them and nothing more.

The only stories that I've actually written of this are Extratus and All's Fair...
But I've got a new 'project' now, (mainly because the Twig stories are HUGE overall) so I'm writing down the entire plot here without resorting to having to write the actual books!
I may get round to writing some, someday, but for now I want to get the entire plot down for all the books.
And there's about 14 of them.
