Title: Dark Retrospect
Author:
jer832Characters: The Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness
Rating: Adult
Warning: This novella evolved from the adult-rated story "The Dreaming Jewels", which I wrote for a challenge in
bad_wolf_rising. DR addresses the fallout after the sexual fantasy of DJ turns out to be more than just a dream. Dark and painful issues are treated, including consent and lack of consent, sexual assault, guilt, responsibility, and choice. It also explores the backstory of the Doctor's past and the Time War in RTD's canon, the Doctor's actions, and his guilt.
Summary: A night of searing passion between the Doctor and Rose Tyler was nothing but a lie. The consequences will tear down everything they and Jack Harkness thought they knew about each other and rip open wounds they'd each tried to forget. And it will challenge the Doctor to finally face the choices he made in the Time War.
