Fear remains with me, but I value her life more

Title: Fear remains with me, but I value her life more
Character(s): Ten. Rose.
Pairing: The same as always.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Sadly, not mine.
A/N: The title is slightly amended from a headline I saw on the Times website this morning.
Spoilers: Spoilerific for 4X13
Summary: The reason why.

The terror of it is right with him, the fear of what losing her a second time will do to him. But even as the weight in the bottom of his stomach makes its presence felt, he forces himself to acknowledge that this is how it must be. It’s best this way. Now all he has to do is convince himself, and there’s for ever to do it in.

He loves her more than everything in the universe put together, and he knows he has to love her enough to let her go.

Without him, she’ll never become collateral damage.

*bawls*

But yes - it makes sense.

I was still numb when I wrote this. Then I got angry. Right now, in denial, still (nice place, here. bit warm, mind)

But yes - it makes sense.

In his head, maybe. Not in mine ;)

Gah. So sad.

But makes so much sense.

Gah. So sad.

Yeah, tell me about it. *hugs*

But makes so much sense.

Anything that helps make that decision make more sense is a winner in my book.

How I imagine the Doctor thinking about it all.

Yeah, I can’t imagine his mind is giving him much, if any, let-up on this.

*hugs*

He lets the words of someone who willingly would've murdered all the universes a thousand times over dictate who he is, because it's what he really believes about himself. *sigh*

Does that mean we can blame Davros for this? Sounds like a good idea to me!

Wow, and I was just starting to feel better after watching JE. You just shattered my heart with that line. Its so true, but so very painful.

*goes off to cry inconsolably some more*

You really nailed how 10 must have been feeling as he send Rose off. Wow. Great job, but oh so painful!!

If it hurt to read then I’ve done my job properly here ;D

Oh, Doctor
*hugs*

I know! It’s too sad for words really, isn’t it?

It's sad, and beautiful. His selflessness in that decision was breathtaking, bless him
