Title: Firelight
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters: Donna Noble, The Doctor (10)
Warning: none
Rating: PG

Summary: The Doctor watches Donna and muses to himself.

A/N: The sixth installment of this year’s Advent Calendar Drabbles. Because I am lazy, I’m titling the drabbles with the prompt. Today’s prompt is from time_converges, who requested either Sherlock or Doctor Who. And it’s an actual 100-word drabble! I feel like I’m shortchanging you, t_c - I’m sorry!

Firelight

Donna Noble is on fire. No, he realizes - it’s only the light shining on her hair, turning the auburn strands into golden flames. The flames flicker; with every turn, Donna’s hair shifts, and the firelight dances on her head.

She could be burning up, thinks the Doctor, watching her. And yet she laughs as she spins, her hands holding the handkerchiefs that tie her to the people they’ve just saved. The celebrations surrounding them spread far into the dark night.

The firelight dances on Donna’s hair, and Donna dances near the fire, spinning as if her skirts will never burn.
