Summary: She had let him go, had rejected the Doctor's forgiveness, and had lost the man that loved her unconditionally. He was only a reminder of what she could never have, of what she had lost. Twice. It was then that she started having the nightmares that plagued her, waking her in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, but this time it was about the man she could never love. Or thought she never could.

Author's Note: Prompt from sapphire_child (again) for the TTU ficathon, using the photo behind the cut. It's the angst that gets me every time!

( But it hurt. It hurt so much to be held like this, to be held by a man that looked so much like him, a man she had rejected, that her heart felt like it was being torn apart... )

Title: Drowning All Over Again
Author: redknightalex
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: R
Characters: TenII/Rose, Pete Tyler, Jackie Tyler
Warnings: None
Spoilers/Setting: After JE
Word Count: ~2,390 words
Disclaimer: Oh, these get old.
Summary: The Doctor didn't understand the significance of a third date; he must have missed that section of class in Humans 101. But when Rose wanted to date -- to go out to eat, to see the movies, to go the fair -- who was he to ever argue? If only his palms would stop sweating.

Author's Note: Written for then_theres_us Challenge 81: Just photos.

Rating: PG

Summary: In the end, you always run out of time.

Author's Notes: Written for challenge 1 at doctor_rose_las, prompt “something borrowed.” I had to edit out around 300-400 words to twiddle it down to 1,000 words exactly (the limit) but it somehow worked.

Title: How to Say Goodbye
Author: redknightalex
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: PG
Pairing/Characters: Ten/Rose
Warnings: None
Word Count: 4,200
Spoilers: EoT Part 2.
Disclaimer: The BBC owns everything and I make no profit. I do get to eat this chocolate though. That's mine.
Summary: Rose dreams of a man on New Year's Day so intoxicated that he could barely remember the year he was celebrating. When she idly talks of it with the Doctor on their short holiday years later she realizes that it was no dream at all. Instead, she had remembered the last act of a dying Doctor.


Author's Notes: Yes, wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey and all that jazz, yet the end to EoT Part 2 always bothered me to the point that I firmly believe that Rose must have remembered Ten in that dark little corner. This is the story of how she does. Set sometime late series 2.

And this one's for jiji_bean. Wednesday is coming soon!

Disclaimer: I own nothing and all of this is the fault work of RTD, the BBC, and other marvelous people. I make absolutely no money what-so-ever from this piece.
Summary: The Doctor made his way to the TARDIS, stumbling over dead bodies, stepping through the carnage that had happened the day that would go down in history as the "Battle of Canary Warf”, and it wasn't until he reached into his pockets for the keys that he noticed his shaking hands.

Author's Notes: This is what happens when you watch “Doomsday” all over again after having a bad day.

Summary: As a prompt response from jiji_bean for Sherlock and Ten.

Author's Notes: Ok, so I know I said that I hated 100 word drabbles, and my original was already starting out at 250 words, half-way through, when I said "fuck it", and wrote this little thing out. 100 words. Bam! (Perhaps more to continue/added onto, when I get my other drabbles out of the way. And yes, they are coming, just keep the kettle on.)

( Cut for 100 words? The title/author/blah stuff is even more than that! )
