Title: Now Go, Cat, Go
Author: roachpatrol
Rating: Standard
Length: 990
Pairing(s)/Character(s): Rose, Nine, Jack
Genre/Category: Character study; crossover with DW
Warnings: None
Spoilers: Spoilers for End of DW S1
Summary: Linear progression gets a bit funny in the Wardrobe Room, and Rose says goodbye to her boys.
Why you should read it: For anyone who was ever gripped by the end of the first Series, and wondered about the seeming lack of aftereffects in the second, this fic works as catharsis and packs a huge emotional charge. It's gorgeous, spare, relying almost entirely on dialogue and a few wardrobe details. But every word spoken feels utterly true to the characters, and the details are heartbreaking. Despite its short length, it works brilliantly as a bridge between the two seasons while also creating its own unique, fleeting world. The image of Jack and the Doctor as Rose leaves them is something that's going to stay with me for a long time.
