Title: A Requiem for Gallifrey
Author: bananasandroses
Character(s), in order of appearance: The Doctor (implied Tenth Doctor)
Pairing(s): none
Rating: U
Summary: The Doctor reminisces
Disclaimer: Not Mine.
Setting / Spoilers: Introspective and set during Gridlock (hence implied Tenth Doctor, although this will work for any Doctor post-Time War). No real spoilers unless you don’t know about the Time War.
A/N: This piece was inspired by the song It’s A Long Way To Tipperary written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams.

There’s a place that I once knew well,
There’s a place I called home;
A place I could once return to,
That’s now burnt and long-since gone.
Good-bye to all I held dear –
To friends both foul and fair –
For no matter how I try to hide it,
My two hearts died there.

Thank you!

I was nervous about this and thought folk wouldn’t like it, but you’ve made me feel much better about it.

Oh wow. This is achingly sad, and so very much how the Doctor would be thinking about his home. Nicely done, hun
