Claim: Doctor Who, general series
Title: Downtime
Author: cryptile
Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jackie Tyler, Mickey Smith
Prompt: 29 - Oops
Rating: PG13
Length: Long
Brief summary: Covers the length of time from the end of The Christmas Invasion to the beginning of New Earth, and why they didn't leave at Christmas as originally planned. I love the Doctor in this, incredibly old and childlike and absolutely mad, having staring contests with graffiti and not understanding why people are angry with him for coming back two days late with the wrong kind of milk.
Mickey can dance, it seems, but not with any enthusiasm. She mutters to herself that he's not worth it, that he's got no business making her feel guilty all the time.

He finds this ironic but does not say so. He ends up getting out of the bed and making her the tea, and refrains from talking for the better part of the evening , forcing himself to be a Good and Kind Person who listens to other people's problems instead of the Oncoming Storm, Time's Champion, Merlin, the Ka Faraq Gatri, ex-President of Gallifrey.

He's reasonably sure some of that wasn't him, anyway. Only normal people get canonical histories.
