Title:: Safe
Characters/Pairings: Barbara/Ian
Rating: All Ages
Prompt: Barbara/Ian, safe
Barbara leans against Ian in the cool dark of the library, and the walls of the TARDIS seem to hum in sympathy with both humans as he strokes her hair, as she presses her face against the crisp fabric of his shirt and wills time to hold still, to hold him always in this moment when he is holding her. When she can feel him breathing and feel his arms around her and know that nothing can take him from her, or her from him.
“Barbara, it’s all right,” he says. “We survived.”
“This time,” she says, trembling, and it’s all that she can say.
