Reposting a couple of drabbles I wrote because, in retrospect, it probably wasn't a good idea to put this drabble with an adult Torchwood drabble. Originally posted 5/5/2012.

Title: Lonely Nights | AO3
Rating: G
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Five/Nyssa
Spoilers: Set between "Time Flight" and "Arc of Infinity."
Summary: Nyssa contemplates family. For comment_fic.


Sometimes, at night, Nyssa will look out the TARDIS' viewfinder into space. She has no biological family; the Master stole her father's body and inadvertently destroyed the Traken Union. And now, with Adric dead and Tegan gone, there's no one on the TARDIS except for the Doctor.

The Doctor can sense when Nyssa is thinking about being alone. He walks to her and hugs her without a word. The Doctor knows someday Nyssa will leave him. All his companions do. Hopefully she'll be able to settle down with someone and have a family.

Right now, the Doctor is her family. This entry was originally posted at https://merryghoul.dreamwidth.org/378255.html. Comments on either site are fine.
