***
He can't reach Susan; the Time War has seen to that, putting her outside his reach forever. He's not sure, anymore, that she ever existed. Romana and Rose, too, are beyond him. But the rest...
The rest, he can look in on.
He moves from time to time, place to place, never interacting, never attracting their attention. Jamie, Turlough and Teagan, Nyssa, Leela, Peri...Ace, in her footie-pajamas, unwrapping dolls by Christmas-tree light. All his mad Companions, his Lost Boys and Girls. How he's loved them all.
"Happy Christmas," he says, to none of them, to all of them, and continues, lonely but content, into the Christmas nights.
