Long Memories
Nothing’s ever forgotten.
For the Doctor, it’s memories of Gallifrey, of planets destroyed in blazing infernos that spread across galaxies, of Dalek armies marching across the universe, and of megalomaniac Time Lords as dangerous as the real enemy.
For Jack, it’s lovers gained and lost, friends dying in his arms, and the occasions it was his fault. It’s the lover he lost due to hubris, and the innocent child forced to watch his supposed uncle kill him.
Nothing is ever forgotten.
But sometimes, too, they share memories of better times, silently promising each other companionship in disasters yet to come.
