Title: For the Cost of a Nightmare
Fandom: Doctor Who (the Rose years)
Characters: Ten/Rose, mention of Captain Jack
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 6208
Author’s Note: In rewatching the shows with Rose and Ten, I came across the mention of Rose’s promise to always stay with the Doctor. She said it with such feeling that I felt there was a story behind when it was made. This starts out AU and goes heads back to normal canon. Rose had a lesson to learn and I think she learned it.
I would like to thank SaraJo for helping me find snippets of conversation that drove me forward and
hufflepuffsneak for looking this over and giving me a shake at the very point when I needed it the most.
