“It’s not a new face. It’s all of them—finally in one.”

A universe of broken timelines is coming apart at the seams, and the stars have stopped whispering. In the ruins of a derelict pocket reality, the TARDIS shudders as echoes of former lives step into the light—until the many collapse into one. Not a new regeneration. A Convergence. The Unified Doctor is born.

The Vortex is sick. Something is eating history not by destroying it, but by making it unwritten. Following the infection to Gallifrey’s darkest secret beneath the ashes of Arcadia, the Doctor discovers the original Loom of Time—the first algorithmic architecture that once wove reality. If the Loom is devoured, everything becomes a story that never happened.

With Ava—a historian rewritten into a librarian of endings—the Doctor faces the Eaters of Time, the Tyrant Mirror, and a doctrine that would “evolve” sentient life into obedient narrative. From Tea in the Vortex to The Place That Remembered Itself, each step closes on a name whispered across lower dimensions: Caldrex—the Reclaimer of Threads—who intends to carve himself into the Loom and be preferred over the Doctor.

Belief becomes an algorithm. Identity becomes a scoreboard. And at the heart of the Loom, the Doctor confronts the one question no incarnation can outrun:
If every self is true, which self must choose?

Threads of Becoming opens the saga with a cinematic collision of memory, myth, and machinery—ending where all beginnings begin: with the Loom quiet, and the next thread humming.
