for muse_shuffle: I Once Had A Girl, Or Should I Say, She Once Had Me

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
(The Beatles - Norwegian Wood)

It’s funny, the way you forget people exist until you actually see them again.  It’s as if you expected time to stand still, the second you walk your separate ways.  But life goes on.  It always does.  And some people are magnificent.  Others stand in the shadows.

Oh, Handy. Go find AU!Martha ;)

Seriously, though, you always write for him very sensitively, with that man-out-of-place feeling that it makes perfect sense hand!Ten would have. And that sounds exactly like S4 Rose--she's very different from companion Rose, with her gun and her hopping about between universes. Even the Proper Doctor might not know what to do with her, I'm guessing.

Good turning-point feel to the piece, too!

I love Rose, and I thought even in S2 she seemed to thrive when she was on her own. I love the idea of Rose not needing the Doctor or anyone else to kick ass.

But thank you, I'm glad you liked.

It's been a bit since I watched S2, but Rose is *very* like Ten, in many ways. Never thrown off by any new situation and always stepping up to the plate. So, I think, yeah, she would certainly find her place, on her own.

Yep. Seriously, most of your pieces have that little heartbreaking hook in them somewhere. Small things that show how hard it is to be this character.

She is good at stepping up to the plate, and it just seemed that once she was given the chance to shine on her own, without the Doctor, she really was amazing, not that she wasn't with the Doctor. Just watching The Impossible Planet/Satan Pit again a week or so ago, I just loved her in that episode, and it was all completely on her own without the Doctor, she just was amazing.

And thank you so much, that is really sweet and kind of you to say. I sometimes worry I go a little too angsty, but heartbreak is what I seem to thrive on.

Ah, angst is what life's about. Makes the happy moments matter. *shrugs*
