one little elephant balancing

all that is, all that was (and all of it for him) Ten2/Rose, implied Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose, PG
It’s after a particularly trying day and in the middle of a rather fantastic row that Rose yells at him that’s something along the lines of, “You know what I don’t understand?” and he responds with a sarcastic, “What don’t you understand Rose?” which she then counters with, “If the Bad Wolf could see everything then why didn’t she this?” and all he can really say then is a very confused, “...what?” 1,649 words

the song ends but the story goes on, Eleven, PG
She’s wracked her brain, searching fantastical childhood stories for a fable where they were said but has always come up blank. She’s searched the internet, read books and diaries and hunted through the endless papers left behind by her kin. But she still doesn’t know what the cryptic eulogy means and it bothers her immensely though she couldn’t tell you why. 1, 138 words
A/N: Oh my god. I don’t even.

Tapestry Doctor/Rose, PG
She has lived many lives. She has been Empress and peasant, dictator and anarchist rebel. A wise old woman with the power of healing in her hands and a child who barely made it to the age of three-and-a-half and liked picture books and the pink shoes with the buckles – the ones she was buried in. 608 words.
A/N: shamelessly uses lyrics from Carole King’s beautiful song, Tapestry. You have been warned.

It is just that Ten2/Rose, PG
It’s the little things, always the little things 157 words

Diving into the wreck implied Ten/Rose, Martha
This is a story about a boat adrift on storm tossed seas that is missing both an oar and its second rower. About the futility of rowing in circles, waiting for a love that will never return. This is the wreck of who he is without her, the things that he misses and all the little rememberings that burn behind the eyes. 341 words.

In the end, she is there, Thirteen/Rose, PG-13 character death
“I always wanted you to stay,” he says and his voice is soft and weak. “But we both know that would have been impossible.”

a life never loved, Eleven, Rose, Ten2, Amy Pond, Nine, Ten, Rory Williams, PG
As his timeline unravels so will hers – and all the brilliant, beautiful, foolish, human things that she did in her time with him along with it.

this is our secret, PG, Doctor/Rose, poetry
This is a secret about us (let me whisper it to you)

Rosie's got a gun, PG-13/light R, Ten2/Rose
The problem was that he found himself getting increasingly turned on by the thought of her toting a large lump of exploding metal. 1,007

she's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound (or five times Rose Tyler piqued one of the Doctors many senses), Ten/Rose, PG fluffy mcfluffer fluff FLUFF. With song lyrics. No I don’t know what my muse is smoking either.

Author's Note: Huge huge HUGE apologies for the massive gap between chapters! Real life just came up and bit me in the ass in a rather major way in the past few weeks and my muse completely hated this chapter and wouldn't cooperate at ALL. Majorly frustrating. I've been writing lots of stuff for then_theres_us to get my writing mojo back into gear and apparently it's worked because - hurrah! - new chapter for you all. Anyway, the exciting stuff all starts to happen from here so I hope you forgive me for the long wait and enjoy the final few chapters of this. I think there will be between 3-5 more to go after this one and maybe an epilogue but I'm still not 100%. Enjoy and much grovelling apologies and love, sapph xoxox

Title: The Rose Nebula
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Ten/Rose
Rating: PG
Spoilers: mid/late S2
Summary: He doesn’t often apologise to her. He’s not the sort of man who does. Still, it’d be nice once in a while. You know, if he did apologise when he stuffed up or nearly got her killed or upset her by snogging other women.

( Rose frowned for a second and then nearly laughed when she realised that John had just apologised to her for basically attempting to seduce her into having makeup sex with him. How...modern. Instead of laughing and upsetting his delicate sensibilities however, she reached for his hand under the blankets and squeezed it. )

Author’s Note: A special thank you to my mum for her help with this chapter. After all these years she’s so used to me asking random questions for stuff I’m writing that she didn’t even bat an eyelid when I started drilling her on early 20th century wound care :P also my apologies at the long wait for this chapter. I literally agonised over it and the following chapter so I hope it's worth the wait :)
