There were thousands of them out there, he thought. Hundreds of billions of thousands of parallel worlds.

Worlds where he never lost Rose to that cold white wall, where he’d never met her in the first place; worlds where being with him had killed her before she’d even begun to age, where she’d been changed by that heartbeat of time when she’d held the Vortex inside her and, like Jack, lived without fear of dying.

Worlds where he’d never left her; worlds where he’d had the courage to say what she’d needed to hear.

Worlds where his hearts remained unbroken.

So sad.

=(

Time for happy now, pls?

Awwwwwwww, and all of that is SO true. *sniff* So many variations of happy and sad in all those different worlds. I love the way you touched on both. But that last line is just killer! It's like... you can take it two ways, that his hearts remained unbroken in those AU's because he got a happy life with Rose, or because he never met her at all. Oh sigh. The ache!

Just really powerful and beautiful in so few words. Awesome job!

Gah! What are trying to do to me, girl? Now I have to add to my list. ;p

Lovely, drabble, though. XD

You can just see him torturing himself with the what-ifs. :(

This is beautiful. I can just see him sitting there in the TARDIS, running all the possibilities through his mind. Thinking too much. *sniffle*
