Fic: Of Discovery and Sacrifice (1/5, Doctor/Rose, PG)
Title: Of Discovery and Sacrifice (1/5)
Author: salienne
Characters: Doctor/Rose, Jack, various OC’s (I’d tell you which Doctor(s?), but that’d give a bit away :P)
Rating: PG
Beta: Thanks so much to lunaserenade, who managed to beta this while taking care of a new Doctor kitty and Master kitty. All hail!
Disclaimer: If I really owned anything Doctor Who related, would I really be writing fanfiction to sate my love for the show and its characters?
Spoilers: Through Doomsday
Summary: Post-Reunion. In an attempt to rediscover herself, Rose decides to leave the Doctor, but like all things, this decision is not without a cost.
A/N: For the longest time, I’ve been musing about the Doctor and Rose’s relationship. There’s obviously love but also naiveté on Rose’s part, and what I’ve even seen described as codependence on both their parts. Plus, Rose is 19 when she meets him and basically makes him and his lifestyle her life when she’s just starting to figure out who she is. Then, there’s what Jackie said about Rose turning into him, and throughout the second season, this does happen.
What I’ve often mused about specifically is this: what’s better, to be happy with the man you love and, to some extent, lose yourself, or to be more independent yet, at the same time, more unhappy and alone. I also thought about how Rose joins the Doctor at such a young age and how she’s always been rebellious. As she says, “Everyone leaves home in the end.” But what if, at some point, the Doctor became just too familiar and too much “home?”
This, ladies and gentleman, is where this fic comes from. :D I hope y’all enjoy, and as always, comments/reviews are appreciated!
(Rose has been with him for six years when she makes the decision-it is time for her to leave)
