DW fic: What are you? What will you be? (1/2)
Soooo... I wrote fic. Ten/Rose fic. Which is fairly incredible, since I never shipped them as such. OK, this is more a character study of the new half-human Doctor, and so full of meta I think it might sink - but still. A bunny just ate my head, so I wrote this down in odd moments yesterday and polished it off this morning. All mistakes mine.
Hope anyone reads this at all, and if you do PLEASE leave some feedback?
Title: What are you? What will you be?
Characters/Pairing: TenToo/Rose, Jackie.
Rating: PG-13.
Spoilers: EVERYTHING! (4.13)
Genre: Character study.
Word count: 1300 words.
A/N: Changed the title from 'The Hardest Thing', because someone else was posting a post-JE Rose/Ten fic with the same name.
What are you? What will you be?
Part 1
He watched it fade away - his TARDIS; gone forever.
Well, not his TARDIS... their TARDIS. Still, he couldn’t quite comprehend the scale of the loss. The one constant in his (their) century-long life - vanished. His eyes drifted from the empty space to the girl watching it - their Rose. His Rose?
With a stab of dark humour he thought that they - he and his other self - were like a divorcing couple, dividing up the cd collection... except that wasn’t right. It was more like dividing up the children.
Why did it have to hurt so much?
Slowly he walked up to her, taking her hand; but as her eyes caught his, a sinking feeling of déja vu washed over him - River Song’s words echoing in his head:
“You know... it's funny, I keep wishing the Doctor was here... Yes, the Doctor is here. He came when I called, just like he always does. But not my Doctor.”
Could he be what she needed? He wasn’t exactly brilliant when it came to relationships, he knew that, and humans weren’t very easy to read, especially since they said so many things that meant something else...
With a new pang of loss he realised that he’d never actually meet River again. Or any of his companions. So many possibilities, so much life just gone...
His focus came back to Rose as she swallowed and softly asked: “What now?”
Staring silently for a moment, he ended up shaking his head.
“I don’t know.”
New world, new life, and he didn’t have a clue how to proceed. For once he had no answers...
Then abruptly his mind was pierced by a searing scream; his legs gave way under him as he collapsed down onto the sand, head in his hands - Donna’s voice blanking out the world.
“No. No, please! Pleas-”
And then it was gone, cut off mid-word. Not just Donna, but the other him, the TARDIS... he hadn’t even been aware of somehow keeping up the faintest of mental links, but suddenly there was just... nothing. The walls between the dimensions obviously sealed. He knew he ought to be grateful that he had been spared the remainder of Donna’s pain, but the sudden and complete loneliness threatened to break something within him. He should have known that this was the price he always paid for waging war - and yet it was a shock, because since the moment he’d woken up on the TARDIS floor he’d been in contact with Donna and his other self; the bond so deep, so instinctive, that he’d not even noticed it.
And now Donna was gone - gone gone, he knew fullwell what had needed doing - and his other self was as lonely as him... He could remember clutching the Master’s body, screaming in frustration, and loss, and certain, utter lonesomeness, and he didn’t know what to do now. He wanted to run, the way he always did, but realised with a horrified, sickening feeling that there was nowhere to run to. The TARDIS was gone, and even though he could probably make a spacecraft of some kind, he couldn’t run from himself and his mortal body. He could feel time slipping through his fingers - one frail body, one life, one world... it was too small, too narrow, he didn’t fit - nothing fit - and there was nowhere to run... nowhere at all... For one fervent moment he wished he could go back and kill the Daleks all over again, but slowly and painfully - make them pay forever like the Family of Blood - because it was their fault that he existed at all, that he was doomed to this isolation. Why hadn’t he killed Dalek Caan back in Manhatten when he’d had the chance...
Slowly he became aware of someone shaking him, and he looked up to see an alarmed Rose kneeling in front of him, calling his name.
“Doctor! Are you OK? Doctor?”
He blinked and stared at her. This was bad - he didn’t want to worry her. He never wanted to upset Rose in any way. She had kissed him - really, truly kissed him - and now he was upsetting her. What was wrong with him?
“I think I’m having a panic-attack,” he observed, frowning as he examined his odd phenomenon. “Isn’t that weird? I’ve never had a one of those before. Well not like this anyway. Is this normal for humans? Or is just me? I’m sorry, I’ve absolutely no idea yet, I think it’ll take me a while to work out what I am. Although apparently I’m prone to panick-attacks when under stress.”
This didn’t seem to reassure her at all, but then her mother cut in, even as she was busy pressing numbers into a phone.
“Oh great, now he can’t cope with stress? Well ain’t that charmin’? Don’t get me wrong Rose, I think the Doctor’s wonderful, but what use is he, if he’s a basket case?”
The Doctor felt his head snap up, sudden fiery sparks bursting inside, and then he leapt to his feet, staring down the woman across from him.
“Oi! You watch it Jackie Tyler! I happen to be the result of the first ever human-Timelord biological meta crisis, which quite frankly is something utterly unknown and more traumatic than you could possibly conceive. If you want to know how I feel, imagine that half of you was turned into a frog and suddenly you're eyeing up the flies in a completely different way - so puh-lease excuse me for freaking out for a moment.”
Seeing the stunned look on Jackie’s face he suddenly grinned. “And you might want to make a note of the fact that I’m not just half-human - I’m half Donna Noble!” He stopped, eyes narrowing as he tilted his head. “Weeeeell, not literally half her, since I’m all me of course; but I have Donna-ness in me, oh yes! Amongst other things her voice, if I so choose - and trust me, Mrs Tyler, no power in the universe can stop that voice talking!”
He laughed, watching Rose as she slowly got to her feet, obviously as thrown as her mother.
“See I’m the DoctorDonna, and I’m brilliant! Unique! No one like me, anywhere.” He stopped, seeing the uncertainty on Rose’s face, and suddenly looked down, trying to get to grips with the rollercoaster ride his emotions were on. It was like navigating quicksand.
But he clung onto one thing: Donna wasn’t lost to him. She lived on inside - quite literally a part of him - and somehow that was immensely comforting. This strange, new body that felt so alien and different, had come from her. And he liked her - her earthboundness, her no-nonsense attitude, her humanity. He still had it, locked away in every cell. He had a feeling he’d need it, that it was currently her strength and resilience that were carrying him forward.
Taking a slow breath the Doctor looked at Rose again. “I don’t know what it means. I’m not... entirely sure what I am. Maybe - maybe we can find out together?”
Jackie was now busily talking into her mobile, but turned and called over her shoulder: “Well I’m getting home. If you two want to come, you better get moving!”
He held out his hand towards Rose, and he knew that this could be a new beginning. A new life - a truly different life. No more running.
“Walk with me?”
There was a moment’s hesitation, then she took his hand - the action so familiar that it almost felt like a dream. She nodded, a tiny smile in the corner of her mouth as she replied.
“Walking sounds good.”

Squee! (And you're quick!)
Elisi is writing DW fic!!!
Oh, there's quite a bit already... this lot so far.
Great first chapter and spot on voices (especially Jackie's, LOL!)
Thank you! They're so much fun to write (Ten especially, I think I could write him rambling on all day), but Jackie is... well, Jackie! *g*
(I need to get myself more icons! When I find another spare minute...)
no subject
Squee! Love your look at this possible AU. I'm not seriously a Doctor/Rose shipper either, though I like their chemistry together. JE convinced me that they have some interesting possibilities.
The Doctor 10.2 (or what ever we're calling alt!Doc) having a connection to Donna as well as the Tardis makes a lot of sense. Interesting; I've been overdosing on DW fic this am and I haven't seen that particular senario before!
Enjoying this muchly and lookng forward to the rest!
no subject
But the fic feels so gooooooood! (I'm right there with you!)
Squee! Love your look at this possible AU.
Yay! I hope they never, ever bring Rose back again, because I want to keep all the possibilities open. :)
I'm not seriously a Doctor/Rose shipper either, though I like their chemistry together. JE convinced me that they have some interesting possibilities.
It's taken a straightforward love story and added complications. Which makes it interesting. (I really like S1/2 and the Rose/Doctor chemistry, but - like Buffy/Angel - it could never really go anywhere.)
The Doctor 10.2 (or what ever we're calling alt!Doc) having a connection to Donna as well as the Tardis makes a lot of sense.
He says he can see inside her mind, and I wanted to explore that more.
Interesting; I've been overdosing on DW fic this am and I haven't seen that particular senario before!
Really? I managed to think up something original? *is terribly pleased*
Enjoying this muchly and lookng forward to the rest!
Thank you - and I'll write more as soon as I'm able. Will also post a list of recs at some point. Monday I guess.
no subject
I love that you're remembering that he's *not* human. And the DoctorDonna voice felt right to me (we didn't hear that much of it, but this seems like the right balance). It also makes sense that he'd be a little off center right now - he was just created a few hours ago.
no subject
I *swore* I wouldn't write anything else until I'd finished 'My Immortal', but...
Part 1 means more part to come, yes??
Just one more. (For now anyway. Never say never and all that.)
I love that you're remembering that he's *not* human.
That's what I'm loving about it - he's still the Doctor, but he has to adjust to a human life and it won't be all that easy.
And the DoctorDonna voice felt right to me (we didn't hear that much of it, but this seems like the right balance).
Thank you - he was a bit tricky, but I tried to keep with what we saw.
It also makes sense that he'd be a little off center right now - he was just created a few hours ago.
He's a few hours old, whilst also being 900+ and he's just wiped out an entire species (again) and lost all the people he ever knew. He is FASCINATING! :)
no subject
Just one more.
I'm glad you're not saying never, because this really needs several chapters to do it justice. *whistles innocently*
no subject
Bunnies are evil. But in a good way.
I'm glad you're not saying never, because this really needs several chapters to do it justice. *whistles innocently*
Well the bunny only brought me two parts! And it's Rose/Ten, which I just don't *do*! (I mean I like them, but in TGiF, when all the shippers were all 'Oh noes, he abandoned her for that Frech h0r!', I was squeeing because he got some! *g*)
And that icon is forever cracking me up. (Yes, I do know where it's from!)
no subject
Well I'm not a Rose/Ten shipper either, but I like them and the pairing does get a lot of good Who fanfic, so I read it. And Rose/new!Ten has so many possibilities.
I adore TGiF! The kiss was smoking hot! Guh.

no subject
I loved this! I really did. Not really Doctor/Rose, since I wasn't a big fan of those two romantically entangled in the other, as I had no idea how that would work in the first place, and yet still the possibility of it is nice.
Alt!Ten/Rose is something I think I could ship, but definitely not right away in the sack and going at it like bunnies. Which is what it looks like a lot of people are writing.
And love Jackie by the way :P

I have a copy in a folder...

Don't they just? I've been *inhaling* as much fic as I can find time to read... (a lot of it crack!fic, but... *g*)
I adore TGiF! The kiss was smoking hot! Guh.
Oh I know! *wibbles*
no subject
Squee! Thank you for reading! And his dual nature (or whatever we call it) struck me as utterly fascinating. Hence the writing...
Actually, I don't think a human Doctor could survive without that Donnaness.
*nods* Donna is probably by far the best person to have as donor if you want to be human. *misses Donna AGAIN*
no subject
Ooooh, will have to check out your story next time I have a spare moment. 'Cause you're right - most of the fic I've read tend to focus on Rose, with the Doctor just being Doctorish.
DoctorDonna was Donna's half, it's only fair he reverses it and calls himself DonnaDoctor.
Hee! Although I sort of see the whole unit of three as being 'thedoctordonna', new!Doctor is just sort of appropriating the name.
I loved this! I really did.
Thank you! *beams*

Well I'm not really a Ten/Rose shipper either - I mean, I liked them perfectly well enough on the show, but it was a relationship that could go precisely nowhere, and with no real conflict. Now however, it's suddenly interesting! :)
Alt!Ten/Rose is something I think I could ship, but definitely not right away in the sack and going at it like bunnies. Which is what it looks like a lot of people are writing.
Well they've finally got a license to write smut! Not that they couldn't before of course, but the Doctor is notoriously asexual. But I agree it's not remotely realistic. (Actually, you might like Two Hearts by
And love Jackie by the way :P
I don't think it's possible not to! ;)

Hee! Although I sort of see the whole unit of three as being 'thedoctordonna', new!Doctor is just sort of appropriating the name.
I actually saw the alt!Doctor and Donna as the DoctorDonna, and the original!Doctor feeling left out, and that's why he dumped his other self on the parallel world, and buried Donna's memories of him. Poor baby was all jealous of what those two had. Because Alt!Doc and Donna were practically the same person in two bodies, and the Original!Doc wasn't part of that, he was just what it was created from.

I have this most annoying plot bunny latching onto me demanding to be written about Alt!Doc and Rose not getting together and then them two finding out something life alteringly big. Angsty as all heck it'd be.
In the end though they might hook up...might.
And the whole asexual Doctor thingy is the reason I posted Lesson Learnt (http://malicehaughton.livejournal.com/24325.html#cutid1) yesterday. Because someone had to poke fun at it :P
no subject
Will check it out, promise. (Although it'll have to be later on - *really* shouldn't be here...) And re. reviews, then I barely get a handful for my Who fic. (Most people on my flist are Buffy fans...)

Oh I don't see it like that AT ALL! Yes, new!Doctor & Donna might have had a deeper bond, but it'd still make the original Doctor their parent or something. He *had* to wipe Donna's mind, or she'd burn (nice continuity from Rose & 'Parting of the Ways' btw) and as for why he left Rose and new!Doctor, then this vid has the best answer I've come across. *hugs the Doctor sooooo tight*

My pet-theory, in the event of it not working out between Rose & the Doctor, is that he'd go back to 1913 and marry alt!nurse Redfern. :) But angst can be good too. Oh and I once had this tiny bunny about Rose in the AU (before she got her own Doctor), how one day she'd meet a perfectly ordinary guy, and when he took her hand the world stopped spinning. And they'd get married and have lots of kids and an old polica box in the garden for them to play in. Oh - and I started a Rose/Xander fic once! (If you're familiar with BtVS?)
And the whole asexual Doctor thingy is the reason I posted Lesson Learnt yesterday. Because someone had to poke fun at it :P
Oooh, must check that out too! (My favourite so far is this one. Crack!fic goooooood!)
no subject
Yep, I know he had to do it. I didn't want Donna's head to go kablooey. But he's clever as he has stated many a time beforehand, and I'm sure if he had given himself the time he could have thought of another way.
Even if the memory wipe is only temporary until he had found another way then gone back to fix it properly.
My love of Donna is shining through here. She was my favourite character, and then there's alt!ten, who I think I like beter than original!ten right now. Odd.
no subject
Because somehow I missed it the first go. Yes I am very familiar with the Buffyverse, having almost lived and breathed it for 6 years when it was on television.
no subject
Someone mentioned the Chameleon Arc - maybe one day he'll turn her into an actual Timelady?
My love of Donna is shining through here. She was my favourite character
I can't imagine not loving Donna! *clings* ETA: I wrote meta in case you want to know my thoughts. Well, it's more of a review. Anyway, RTD is evil.
and then there's alt!ten, who I think I like beter than original!ten right now. Odd.
I think it's because alt!ten is ours and he can be anything we want him to be. The real Doctor belongs to RTD/Moffat/the BBC, and canon will continue - but alt!ten can do whatever we want him to. :)
no subject
In which case I'm sure you can see the attraction of Rose/Xander. ;)
(My current WIP is another crossover. It's Buffy/Jack, because *obviously* Jack is The Immortal from 'The Girl In Question'. I'm having a LOT of fun! Sadly though it's taking me forever to write because it is long!)
no subject
*squees*
My long WIP at the moment is Help! which gets me to ask the question, am I the only one who has ever done a long, serious fic about getting the Doctor into therapy for his many, many, many issues :P The story just reached 20 000 words,and he still hasn't admitted to himself that, yeah, he might actually need it.
no subject
no subject
Yay! I aimed for something that'd be funny, and yet show how the Doctor really felt that he'd been rather 'down-graded' (he *likes* humans, but feels awfully superior). (Also I liked the fairy-tale connotations of course! *g*)
It's both sad and comforting that Donna is still around - because it's neither quite the Doctor nor Donna here.
Oh I know! But that's of course what makes is fascinating...
Anyway, thank you so much for reading! :)
no subject
Hee! It's perfect, isn't it? Jack fits *so* well with the descriptions of The Immortal, and he's exactly what Buffy needs! Fic here, if you ever have the inclination & time to check it out!
am I the only one who has ever done a long, serious fic about getting the Doctor into therapy for his many, many, many issues :P
Now that is a brilliant idea! Will keep it bookmarked in case of surprise reading time. And you reminded me of

*giggles* Both serious and yet extremely funny all at the same time.
Doesn't excuse what I just wrote in the 5th chapter of Help! Because guh. I was like "What the HELL was that for?!" When muses attack. I didn't plan on writing it, yet there it was in black letters across the screen. And it isn't anything really bad per se, but it does end up with Jack and the Doctor naked and in a bath together :P In a non sex way, which is mind boggling in itself.
no subject
Great, isn't it? I love 'Angel at W&H' fics. :)

Well you sure are making me curious! Maybe I'll have a look at it when we're away on holiday (there might be rainy days!). And as for wondering at what the muse brings, then you're talking to a woman who rewrote 'As You Were' to include Spike/Buffy/Angel smut. Without turning it into crack!fic. My mind is still boggling at that one...

This is wonderful!!!
