Title: All I See Is You
Rating: PG-13
Setting: 4X03
Character(s): Ten.  Rose (off-camera).
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
A/N: Inspired by, but no spoilers for, 4X03 (Planet of the Ood).
Summary: I look around me: all I see is you

You should be here.  My heartsblood.  Darling Rose,
You should be here, still travelling with me;
Still living out your life the way you chose.
There’s still so many things for you to see …
I look around me: all I see is you,
As if you’d not been torn from me at all.
It feels as if the memory’s bleeding through:
A prison, made from pain, keeps me in thrall.
I couldn’t let you leave me if I tried.
Your memory’s far too precious, means too much.
I'm not ashamed of all the tears I’ve cried,
I ache for you: your smile, your voice, your touch.
So let me make this one thing very plain:
Your memory – in everything – remains.

He did say to Donna that he heard the song of captivity all the time...

*sigh*

Exactly. It’s not a particularly large leap from that to his hearing Rose all the time.

Particularly as the PTB seemed to play with the idea of a psychic link of some kind between the two of them in the latter stages of Season Two.

The italics for 'everything' just make it so much more powerful, I love it. It's the little details and touches like this that you put into your work that make me love it so much! ♥

Especially your sonnets, you know the extent of my penchant for them. ;)

I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to fic.

I shall have to dedicate the next one to you, then ;)

Very sad, elegantly and concisely written. The sadness is all.

The sadness is all.

Isn't it just? The Doctor's been consumed by that sadness of late, poor soul.
