Heroes That Fall

Title: Explosions in the Sky
Author: redknightalex
Rating: PG
Warnings: Character Death
Pairing/Characters: Ed Gold, Adelaide Brooke
Setting: Series 4 Specials - “The Waters of Mars”
Genre: Character Introspection
Word Count: 1,330
Disclaimer: Own nothing, once again, I'm just playing around with characters I felt were worthy of a bit more study than what the BBC had decided upon.
Summary: Ed Gold had always been fiercely loyal to his captain, the one who had chosen him to explore the stars with. But then one day came, an explosion in Cargo Bay 13, that changed their relationship forever, and he would never forgive himself for letting it happen. Nor would she.

Author's Note: I've always wondered how the relationship between Ed Gold and Adelaide Brooke developed into the one on-screen and, to be honest, I doubt it had anything to do with a romantic fling. That would be too simple for a woman like Adelaide and too low for a man like Ed. Something else must have happened. This was what my brain came up with during a massive heat wave where I live. Commentary will probably be coming at some point as a bunch of the details had to be gleamed off of the TARDIS wiki, which had much more detailed information regarding the Internet posts in the episode than I could gather.

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!
