Sorry 'bout the grumpy post, I'm quite mellow really. Esp as it's a loooooong weekend. So I shall re-rec on of my favouritest fics ever:

Distances by [livejournal.com profile] alibi_factory

Word count: ~4,900
Rating: TV-14?
Genre: abstract time-travel dramedy gen
Characters: all Doctors, some companions
Summary: Running fast to stand still, or the more things change the more they stay the same, or a series of vignettes about fish and possible nows.
Spoilers: from "An Unearthly Child" through "The End of Time", obliquely.

It fits my mood perfectly. Excerpt:

...and again he wondered how he seemed, really, to other people. The Doctor, the professor, the protector, the defender, the fool, the theif; the maker of mysteries and the destroyer of worlds. Or maybe just a pompous madman.
