She fell in the white room and he saw the splitting of their timelines, two strands fraying away from each other like a piece of thread tugged apart by idle hands. He saw their lives grow dark and separate whilst the universe burned on and he reached out to her...

Let go. Fall. She’ll be there to catch you.

The Doctor screamed. His fingers spasmed, the tendons tightening over his bones as they held fast, loosened before tightening again out of fear.

I can’t.

In the end he did nothing.

It was by holding on that he let her go.

Somehow this makes so much sense. Through it all, the Doctor is a coward...

I had a different take on that.

Most succinct review ever - although doubtlessly appropriate for a drabble ^_^ thank you!
