Fic Rec
Fiction by Mental_Meander: http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=38271 is a rather horrifying (in a good way) look at what might happen to Ten2 when Eleven disappeared at the end of The Big Bang and he was washed right out of history. Rose is the only one that ever remembers him being there in Pete's World and she goes from these gorgeous, bittersweet flashbacks of their life together, to these terrifying fearful moments of trying to find any trace of him left. It's a fairly long one shot at over 11,000 words, so be prepared to settle in for a bit.
It does have A LOT of phonetic dialog at times which is one of my pet peeves. I don't mind the occasional hanging g or t to get the flavor of the accent, but all the time annoys me. Since the majority of the fic is not spoken it's not too hard to overlook. There is one bit of teasing over Rose's accent that I flat out did not like because it felt out of character for me according to how the Doctor had been written up to that point, but the rest of the fic more than makes up for it, believe me or I wouldn't be reccing it. It's heartwrenching, beautiful, and well-written. Heavy angst.
