Fic: The Awakening (6/?)

[strange_charmed]

Rose was still cradling the sequined album against her chest when Pete opened the door and reentered the room. Solemnly, she brought her eyes up to meet his. Clicking the door shut behind him, Pete eyed her protectively, hands in his jacket pockets. He slowly approached Rose’s bedside, his eyes locked on hers and a serious expression on his face.

Curiouser and curiouser! Yeah, still totally confused and intrigued. Especially by the Doctor's reaction in this chapter- it seems like he almost recognizes her, though I might just be seeing things that aren't there.

I'm still modifying my thoughts/wild speculation on what's happening. I'm now leaning towards it being something related to telepathic creatures, with some people definitely being real, if modified, versions of themselves (like the Doctor), while others (like Reinette) are telepathic projections or creations mined from Rose's memories. (Unless, of course, the Bad Wolf or the TARDIS is freaking out, in which case recreating the whole space-time continuum makes sense! Though in that case, I can't imagine either BW or the TARDIS creating a reality that would push the Doctor and Rose apart...Hmm.)

Regardless of whether Faith is the instigator in this or not, I think her symbolism is less about her and more about Rose's faith- I feel like Rose's faith in the Doctor is the key to this whole mess. Like the heroine in a fairy tale, if that makes sense.

Looking forward to more!

(I'm kind of inordinately amused, though, that Rose is caught between the horror of the Doctor and Reinette having some sort of liaison and the horror of it not happening at all. Poor Rose.)

Yay, glad you're enjoying it and are intrigued by it!! =D

I would *love* to comment on your individual observations, except I don't want to give too much away. Everytime I start typing a response, I end up deleting it because I don't want to accidentally "spoil" something x.X Which would be very easy to inadvertently do in this type of fic lol!!
