Doctor Who; Sonata; the TARDIS; G/post-Series 5 (Part 1)

[hematitebadger]

There is always music in the TARDIS. She is vast and complex and exquisitely alive, and every part of her thinks and feels and has a voice. Her engines thunder in bass drum rolls and hum in deep cello tones. Her monitors and instruments sparkle in flute trills. A thousand other systems hit every note in between, some of them speaking not through sound but through light and heat or a ripple in the air. She is an orchestra all her own, and every flight is a symphony.

It’s not often that the TARDIS deliberately composes. Most of her singing is simply the work of the moment, the everyday sounds of flight and pursuit and life made musical by the harmony of a thousand voices with a single goal. Not simple melodies but clear ones, and so familiar that sometimes she catches her pilot singing along under his breath. The music of everyday wonder.

She knows his song almost as well as she knows her own, its depth and complexity familiar and constant even if the voice changes now and then. And he recognizes her voice, hears and feels and understands it in ways that no human and no star could ever master. He feels the thrum of her engines singing to themselves, hears her fanfare to the stars, breathes in her lullaby to their human charges. And over it the TARDIS sings a song that’s just for him, a love song in violin patterns of changing light and bursts of warmth. He’s a part of the singing as well, and he is always, always the reason for the song

I vaguely thought of writing for this prompt - but your offering is WAY better than anything I was thinking of doing.

Very nicely done...

Re: Part 2

Oh, TARDIS. So beautiful. I love the descriptions of Rory and Amy and the Doctor.

Re: Part 2

[hematitebadger]

Trying to describe them as she would see them was one of my favorite parts. I'm glad you liked it!
