A/N:  This actually started life as a piece of Moments in Darkness, but by the time I got to the point where it would have fit into the storyline, after Reinette, I'd actually gone in a different direction.  And then I was going to change it into a Rose and Ten2 story, but I think her acceptance of him would have come much easier than this.  Then when I hit upon the idea to change it into a Rose/Master fic, everything seemed to fall into place.  I hope you'll give it a go even if it's outside your normal ship.  Set in the same reality as A Better Man: http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/86565.html and A Lesser Woman: http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/86818.html, but you don't need to have read those for this to make sense.  AU after Doomsday.

Acceptance

 

Rose wakes up screaming. It happens too often, too frequently now for her to ever consider that it doesn’t mean something. The closer she gets to him the more violent her dreams become. He is there as he always is, pulling her into his arms, holding her tight, offering her comfort. And she thinks that maybe this once she can let it all go, forget herself, forget him long enough to find some kind of hopefulness for her future.

On A Slightly Lighter Note...

...than my Master/Rose fic, I found my son's Ten and Rose action figures in a strange situation.  He had put a big rubber band around them.  I asked him why and he looked at me all serious and said...

"This way he can't lose her."

I said, "What?  What makes you think you'll lose her?"

He said in all seriousness, "No, not, me.  The Doctor.  He always loses Rose.  He's a bit of an idiot.  This way he can't lose her."

Out of the mouths of babes.

And then he made them kiss.

Nine is a strange age, but he so has a point.
