Doctor Who 4.13
I feel better. I feel soooo much better, because I just totally made up something that takes the sting out of the one way happy ending. I wrote a tiny Ten regeneration ficlet. So Ten's now Eleven and I can feel better because he's a different Doctor. Basically it's a proper good-bye, with Rose telling him to move on, and I'm sure it's really, really shitty and I won't be sharing it with ANYONE. But it makes me OK with the ending. Plus, once David leaves as Ten, he'll actually always be able to come back because he'll exist in Rose's world. Which is actually amazing, unlike with Nine who we'll never see again. Though I'm not pining over his departure, it felt complete with closure. What I wrote felt like closure, so I may try rewatching the finale later this week with this mini-denial-fic in mind.
Well, Davies, you put me through the wringer with this one. You jerked my emotions left and right in a 24 hour period. THAT IS HARD CORE. Like... actually. "Doomsday" didn't even make me this obsessive. I mean you got me writing up quasi fics, that's hard core. I haven't wanted to do something like that since the Angel series finale, but I never did it. I think I'll be OK now. I might still have moments like, "WTF DID YOU DO TO DONNA", but not about Rose. Hell, I might even be able to watch that departure scene and kiss without sending me into a tailspin. Just to be safe I'll give it a few days. Let it sink in, or let the raw emotion fade away.
