His New Reality (Ten/Rose, PG, drabble)

[preserved_ginger]

Title: His New Reality
Rating: PG
Character(s): Rose Tyler, The Doctor
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Beta: glory_jean
Notes: Slightly AU for The Impossible Planet, in that the Doctor doesn’t end up going down to the Pit to look for the TARDIS. A “what-might-have-been” fic, you could say. The summary is based on a quote by Helen Keller.
Summary: Alone he can do so little; together they can do so much.

He should have done what she suggested – taken the two of them elsewhere. But he didn’t, and now they are reaping the consequences. The TARDIS is lost, for ever.

But it could have been so much worse, and he still has Rose. Rose, the woman who’s become impossibly important to him in an absurdly short amount of time. Rose, who has so recently heard him confess how strongly he feels about her.

So now they have to live the slow path. He can do that, he swears he can. So long as he has Rose?

He can do anything.

Awww. Fluffy! Considering I'm reading a darker version of this "what if" scenario, I think I like this better because I'm a sucker for happy endings. :D

Excellent little onesie. :)

I think I know the one you mean, and yeah it is a trifle dark.

Glad you like this one though!

Also? Your 'My Doctor' icon is just about the most gorgeous of that ilk that I've seen :)

“My” Doctor

That’s all thanks to the wonder that is glory_jean; she made it for me yesterday after I saw the source pic in the banner for that new Planet of the Dead comm (I can’t remember its name off-hand).

I’ve a different version of the thing as my default icon in my other journal (http://achuislemochroi.livejournal.com), also made for me by glory_jean.

If you ever tire of it, unlikely as that is, let me know so that I can offer it a new home ;)
