Post Pomp (1/22)

A/N:  This is my post Girl in the Fireplace story, because everyone's got to write one eventually.  Ten/Rose obviously then.  I wrote mine back in November of 2007.  I have to warn that the first seven chapters are extraordinarily dark for me and riddled with angst and I am not kidding.  Still, it's worth the journey and makes it all the more worthwhile as it eases back into the light.

Story Summary:  Following the events of The Girl in the Fireplace, the Doctor doesn't come back after five and a half hours and Rose is left to deal with a very dismal life trapped on a space ship with no hope of rescue. She's given up hope the Doctor will ever come for her. And maybe she's right.

Chapter One:  Sixty Days

My name is Rose Tyler. That sounds like such a pretentious way to start a diary, doesn’t it? But how else? I mean, it’s my diary so I have every right to name myself in it, don’t I? Maybe this was a stupid idea. I haven’t kept a diary since I was twelve years old. But…it’s either this or madness and I’m not ready to let the madness have control.

I used to travel with a man called the Doctor. He was my life. I know, even I’m rolling my eyes at that statement. What kind of 21st century girl lets any man be her life? Even one currently stuck in the 51st century because she was just that much of an idiot? Does it help that he was a time travelling alien? No, I didn’t think I’d get off that easily. So, I was stupid. I let a man be my life. And I wasn’t his.

Quick Fic Rec

So, I don't usually do this unless someone asks my opinion, but I'm going to make a fic rec for those of you who like AU versions of the Doctor.  This one's a version of Ten and its a WiP with only six chapters up, but I got totally sucked into it tonight and read it straight through.  She has excellent pacing, puts sentences together in thoroughly enchanting ways, writes very true to character, has a great narrative plot device, and the story just...I dunno, feels exactly right in the Whoniverse.  It's called Alternatively by Kathryn Shadow and you can find it here:  http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=20310  Honestly, I haven't been this enchanted with an AU story since jrlpuck's The Way of Things, whochick's Diamond Sea, or Emery Board's Wolf at the Door.  It has that kind of potential, I think.
