principia_coh
Setting: post-Voyage of the Damned
Character(s): Ten. Rose (off-camera). Mentions of Donna (obliquely), Martha, and others.
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Mentions of events and people in The Runaway Bride, Smith & Jones, The Shakespeare Code and the very beginning of Gridlock.
A/N: A series of ficlets that looks at how a member of a people "peaceful to the point of indolence" could turn into the Valeyard. The title comes from the book of the same name by Terence Blacker. The soubriquet "Stormcrow" is borrowed from the book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien (it's used as a nickname for Gandalf in the book, and the context made me think of the Doctor).
Summary: Was losing Rose the tipping-point?

( Four: The Power Of A Name )

Current Mood: cheerful

Title: Alone?
Rating: PG-13
Beta(s):

requialexa,

karenor
Setting: Immediately post-Gridlock
Character(s): Ten. Cameo by the Face of Boe. Mentions of Rose.
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Some for Gridlock (especially the message that the Face of Boe gives the Doctor), if you've not seen that episode.
A/N: This takes place in my You're Not? universe.
Summary: Could he have meant Rose?

( He had to believe it wasn't just wishful thinking on his part, dreamt into existence through the strength of his feelings for her. )

Title: Are You My Daddy?
Rating: PG-13
Setting: The parallel universe

rebelsaint
Spoilers: So long as you know about Doomsday, you're golden.
Author's Note: This takes place in my You're Not? universe. The title is amended from a line of dialogue in the Season One episode The Empty Child.
Disclaimer: I am not the BBC
Summary: Unruly chestnut-brown hair, eyes the colour of good cognac, and almost limitless energy?

( No; she's the Doctor's daughter, all right. )

Current Mood: calm

Title: All My Love To Long Ago
Rating: PG-13
Setting: The beginning of Utopia
Character(s): Ten. Rose. Some mention of Jack
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Spoilers from Utopia about Jack; a line of dialogue from Time Crash.
Author's Note: A sequel (of sorts) to A Moment Sought In Air; I was thinking about what might make the Doctor run away from Jack after deliberately going to Cardiff to see him, and this was the result. The title comes from a line spoken by the Tenth Doctor in the Children in Need special Time Crash. According to my count, it's a double-drabble. The two lines of iambic pentameter at the beginning were written by me.
Disclaimer: I am neither the BBC nor the Tenth Doctor ;)
Dedication: For

sensiblecat, for giving me the idea.
Summary: He reminds you, beyond the point of endurance, of who and what you used to be.

( But that man was lost with Rose. )

Dedication: For

requialexa, for all her hard work - and for poking and prodding me to complete this second chapter :D
Summary: “You've never lied to me before about anything important and you wouldn't start here, not about this.”

Chapter One: The Dance.

( Chapter Two: Nowhere Close To Perfect )

Beta(s): The fantabulous

requialexa
Author's Note: I asked myself the question “was re-fuelling the TARDIS really the only reason the Doctor went to Cardiff?” and this was the result. The title comes from the poem Range-finding by Robert Frost. According to my count, it's a double-drabble.
Disclaimer: I am neither the BBC nor Robert Frost.
Dedication: For

A/N: This deals with the beginning of the way back. Unbeta-ed, so any and all mistakes are mine. The title (from the poem Should Lanterns Shine?), and the quote at the beginning of the fic (from the poem And Death Shall Have No Dominion), are both by Dylan Thomas.
Disclaimer: I'm neither Dylan Thomas nor the BBC.
Dedication: For

requialexa
Summary: I promised him, didn't I?

( I'd made my choice a long time ago, I'd told him, and I was never going to leave him. )

Setting: post-Voyage of the Damned
Spoilers: From The Parting of the Ways, through everything, to Voyage of the Damned.
Disclaimer: Borrowed, sans permission.
A/N: This fic made me cry to write, so it comes with a tissue-warning. It was written for

adonde_fui as part of the

time_and_chips Secret Pilotfish Exchange.

adonde_fui asked for Fic-ten/rose, your choice, so I hope this cuts the mustard! The title comes from the Runrig song The Dancing Floor. All italicised dialogue is from the episodes.

( Especially when Rose is all he ever wants to see. )

Pairing: Implied Ten/Rose
Setting: post-Doomsday, but refers to events therein.

( If you had his nightmares, neither would you. )

Current Mood: nervous
Current Music: Boe (Doctor Who S3 OST)

Title: Bittersweet
Setting: Utopia
Character(s): Ten. Mentions of Jack, Rose and Martha.

A/N: Inspired by the Doctor's reactions to Jack at the beginning of Utopia when they land on Malcassiro.

Summary: He's desperate to talk about Rose to anyone who'll listen; even Jack.

( But how can he do that, when Jack reminds him so much of everything he's lost? )

Title: A Measure of Time
Character(s): Rose. Ten mentioned passim
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Rating: PG
A/N: This one (a sequel to A Thousand Days) breaks my heart. This is an attempt to write a sonnet but after the style of Henry Reed (author of Naming of Parts). The title, and the text of the cut, are both from a quote by Edwin Way Teale.
Setting: post-Doomsday, Rose's universe.
Disclaimer: I am borrowing, without permission, what will never be mine.
Summary: As the seasons unfold, Rose wonders why the Doctor, who has solved the impossible before, has not come back for her.

Character(s): Jack. Cameos from Ten and Martha.
Pairing: Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Last of the Time Lords
Disclaimer: I am borrowing, without permission, what will never be mine.
A/N: I swear this fic has a life of its own, because what's here is certainly not what I intended writing! A double-drabble, inspired by

catsfiction. The title is from the poem of the same name by Robert Frost.
Summary: Jack still doesn't know if he made the right decision, but it's too late to change it now.

( So he has to hope he hasn't damaged the Doctor even more. )

Current Mood: pensive
Current Music: Listening to the rain, again

Title: The Reasons Why
Character(s): Martha. Mention of Ten, Rose, Jack and others.
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose (implied); one-sided Martha/Ten
Rating: PG
A/N: A quintuple-drabble, inspired by Losing Salvation by ThroughanAmberFocus on Teaspoon.
Disclaimer: I am borrowing, without permission, what will never be mine.
Summary: Martha learns the truth.

( She wished she had known about all this before; it made the Doctor's behaviour make so much more *sense*. )

Current Music: Wake Me Up When September Ends (Green Day)

Title: Have You Forgotten Yet?
Rating: PG-13
Character(s): Jack. Cameos from Ten, Rose and others
Pairing: Ten/Rose (implied)
Spoilers: Doomsday, Utopia, Family of Blood
Disclaimer: I am borrowing, without permission, what will never be mine.
A/N: Inspired by the poem Aftermath by Siegfried Sassoon. The text of the summary is from A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London by Dylan Thomas. Also referenced are Absolution (Sassoon), Do not go gentle into that good night (Thomas), Anthem for Doomed Youth (Wilfred Owen), The Hollow Men (T. S. Eliot), and the Kohima Memorial. In the language of flowers, white roses mean "eternal love" and tea-roses mean "I'll always remember".
Summary: Every year without fail, on 11 November, Jack is here.

( For after the first death, there is no other. )

Current Mood: contemplative
Current Music: Only the Brave (Runrig)
