Character(s): Ten. Rose (as Cassandra).
Pairing(s): Ten/Rose
Spoilers: Brief reference to events in 1X02 (The End of the World), but otherwise nothing after 2X01.
A/N: This was inspired (sort of) by a conversation in AIM chat on Saturday where someone (

karenor, I think) said that “Give her back to me” was one of the best lines of Season Two. Italicised dialogue is from the episode. Unbeta-ed; all errors therefore my own.
Summary: It can’t come to this. Not after all they’ve been through.

( Death by psycho-graft? Not if *he* has any say in it. )

A/N: This was inspired in equal measure by the quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet from which I took the title for this, plus seeing the “next time” trailer at the end of 4X02. Unbeta-ed; all errors therefore my own.
Summary: He'd never brought her here.

( If his previous self could get away with wearing a vegetable on his lapel, he thinks this will be perfectly all right. )

Current Mood: calm

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: 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.

requialexa, for all her hard work - and for poking and prodding me to complete this second chapter :D

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
