dw -- from this day to the ending of the world
Hey remember me? PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE I SUCK. Sorry.
From This Day To The Ending Of The World, by icebluenothing
It was beautiful here once. But that was before. The last shot in the Time War has fired. The Doctor has to deal with the last thing he expected or wanted -- he survived.
gen, Nine, ~4,000 words
why you'd like it : I read this a while ago, and what sticks in my mind most is the absolutely awesome image icebluenothing has of a TARDIS crashing; it's a fascinating and vivid timey-wimey description that, as best I can tell, makes complete sense with the "science" of this show. Beyond that, I find fics that look at Nine immediately post-Time War fascinating because it's something that canon seems unlikely to ever do more than hint at. Of those that I've read, this is perhaps my favourite, mostly because it is unflinchingly harsh, but also because it explains things you've never wondered about -- Nine's leather jacket, for instance -- and I am a total sucker for that in fanfiction.
why you might not: It is decidedly unhappy, though I suspect if you're only around for fluff you probably wouldn't watch this show. Nine is also quite harsh, for lack of a better word, but given the circumstance I think that's only fitting. I'm also a little undecided on the ending, but I suppose as a glimmer of hope in something otherwise entirely bleak, it works.
