The Deadly Assassin which was 3 series earlier firmly

Gatwa isn't the real Doctor. Doctor Who ended in 2017 after
the Doctor was given a new cycle of regeneration by the Time
Lords in The Time of the Doctor following the pleas of Clara.
The monstrosity of the Timeless Child created by Chibnall
after Doctor Who ended isn't canon.

Which just proves that Doctor Who is not consistent with
itself... and it's whatever the Executive Producer of the day
wants that counts!

No it doesn't. Staying true to the original character and
rationale is what counts. The Doctor died in The Fall of the
Doctor and that's it. I have written a fan fic in which he is
saved but it's fan fic just like everything written by Moffat,
Chibnall and Davies after the The Fall of the Doctor too.

 Fan fic as a term doesn't automatically make something bad or
wrong. I've read some good fan fic over the years. I'd also
consider most of what Big Finish produce as fan fic, just
licensed by the BBC and released on audio... and a lot of it is
very good.
 Being fair I suppose that's what any Doctor Who is really when
it all boils down to it if a fan of the show is the Executive
Producer... it's their ideas and their vision of the show. Just
like it would be yours or mine if we were writing our ideas down
on paper. The only difference is, they are paid by the BBC which
makes their ideas legitimately part of the show.
 

It's fan fic if it's written in order to entertain fans instead of the general audience or just one group of fans or one fan or fake fan alone as in the case of Chibnall who utterly despised the show and wanted to change it into his own parody of it, destroying everything from the Time Lords, the Master, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, UNIT, and the character of the Doctor himself, just as RTD has also now done and Moffat did with Twice Upon A Time.

Why don't you post your fan fic Doctor Who story somewhere for
us to read?
 

I will post the draft script for first scene. The outline for the rest of the story is already written but I intend to make changes and might combine it with something else I've written too.
Restoration of the Daleks
ACT 1, SCENE 1
(The Doctor wakes up in a new body lying on his back in a hospital bed. He leans up from his pillow and opens his eyes. A doctor is standing beside the bed.)
THE DOCTOR: Ugh... (groans and yawns)
Doctor: Good to see that you're awake Doctor.
THE DOCTOR: Awake? ... Where am I? ... Where is This?
Doctor: This is Gallifrey Doctor. Congratulations! You've regenerated.
THE DOCTOR: Regenerated? (The Doctor looks at his hands and then feels his face with them. He then pauses.) Gallifrey was destroyed. (he exclaims) How can I be here?
(A Time Lord steps into view from the shadows, not noticed before by the Doctor.)
Time Lord: You were rescued from the event horizon of a black hole.
THE DOCTOR: Rescued? How, who by?
Time Lord: With the Time Scoop.
THE DOCTOR: That's Time Lord technology, and it's forbidden.
Time Lord: Not since the Last Great Time War.
THE DOCTOR: Where's Bill? What happened to Bill?
Time Lord: Bill, we don't know of any Bill.
THE DOCTOR: What? I was with Bill just now, ... I mean just a few moments ago. Before I regenerated. Wait...
Doctor: There is no Bill. She only existed in your mind.
THE DOCTOR: How do you know Bill was a she?
Time Lord: Pronouns, pronouns, Doctor. Tut, tut, tut...
Doctor: The medics took a scan of your brain patterns and analysed them. You've been suffering from inter-regenerational hallucinations. Everything you think happened around the time you were mortally wounded by the Cybermen is all a false psychological construct.
THE DOCTOR: No, that's not true. Bill was real.
Time Lord: No she was not. You made her up. You made a lot of stuff up that hardly makes any sense. A planet sized dragon hatching from a shell formed by the Terran moon. Cybermen regenerating like Time Lords. The Timeless Child. The Flux. Laws of nature based on cartoon logic. Historical figures changing race. Bi-generation...
Doctor: You suffered considerable trauma. Only to be expected from the huge gravitational gradient you experienced.
THE DOCTOR: So, none of my recent memories are either accurate or even of real events at all?
Doctor: No they are not. None of them. They never occurred the way you now remember. You know full well that Time Lords can't regenerate into a different gender from the one they were originally assigned at birth. What if they happened to be pregnant at the time?  What do you imagine would happen to the foetus?
Time Lord: And to the Time Lord themselves.
THE DOCTOR: Yes, you've brought up a valid point. That's why it's biologically forbidden to all Time Lords. So what really happened to me then?
Time Lord: We're not quite sure. Maybe you can help us?
(the Doctor sits on the side of the bed facing his interlocutors.)
THE DOCTOR: Why am I here?
Time Lord: We rescued you.
THE DOCTOR: Why?
Time Lord: We need you to go on a mission.
THE DOCTOR: Oh, no, no, no...
Time Lord: You've not even heard what it's about yet.
THE DOCTOR: I'm not going on any mission. No... No more missions for me.
Time Lord: We could always return you back to where we found you.
THE DOCTOR: Go on then.
(The Doctor steps out of bed on shaky legs and moves towards the window, taking in the view of the Citadel. Looking outside of his hospital room he reaches for the latch.)
Time Lord: If you're thinking of escaping by jumping through that window I wouldn't try.
Doctor: You wouldn't survive the fall from this height.
THE DOCTOR: I've fallen from far greater heights in my past and survived.
Time Lord: Think again Doctor. The last time you fell from a great height you regenerated into a young blond man. First and only time you've been blond.
THE DOCTOR: How do you know all of these things about my history?
Time Lord: I absorbed your mind signature from the Matrix.
(A tall elegant women walks into the room.)
THE DOCTOR: You can't do that. Only the...
(The Doctor is interrupted by the woman.)
Woman: You're Excellency, you've been summoned by the High Council.
THE DOCTOR: ...only the Lord High President of the High Council of Gallifrey can do that...
Woman: Correct Doctor. (pause) Mister President, the high council is waiting and becoming impatient.
(The President looks towards the Doctor)
Time Lord PRESIDENT: Doctor they're waiting for you too.
