Title: Decision Made
Series: Choose Life
Rating: U
Character(s): Ten
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Journey’s End, technically.
Notes: Yes, this is AU Journey’s End Ten/Rose. No, I don’t care about canon. The quote at the beginning of the fic is from Prayer, by Galway Kinnell.
Summary: Whatever happens, he knows.

Whatever happens. Whatever
what is is is what
I want. Only that. But that.

He makes his decision (well he thinks he does, which is not quite the same thing) within seconds of setting eyes on his clone (and why hadn’t he got rid of that bloody hand of his earlier? Why?)

He decides that he doesn’t care what happens (except he does), he’ll find a way to deal with the situation (drop his clone back in the parallel world when he returns Jackie, perhaps; after all he’s done for them the least they can do is look after him).

It’ll work, he tells himself. It has to — he can’t lose her.

Not again.
