Ficlet in French: 42 (1/1)

[kae_nine]

Wrote that weeks ago when I first watched 42. The intensity of Ten's gaze when he said "I can't lose her" just  undid me and I had to write. Never actually posted it anywhere until today, though. Back then I was writing solely in French and well... well, anyway, here it is. English version coming up later.

Well, I must say that I did not like this episode (when he said "burn with Martha" made me shiver)... until I read this that is. Although, while watching the scene you are refering, I did parallel it with that one in the Torchwood insitute and thought : "how could he risk his life for Martha when he did not for Rose ?". It seems you made it the other way round ! God, I did not realise how tough it could be to read something in French and review in English (sorry for any mispellings)

LOL! Well, the English version is up now, if you're a glutton for punishment and wish to check it out.

In Torchwood, I didn't see it like he wouldn't risk his life for Rose. If you're referring to him not letting go of the lever, that is (please correct me if I'm wrong) If he had let it go, he'd have been sucked into the void - wouldn't have helped Rose at all, and it was basically suicide. In 42, he has a small chance of succeeding, and that's enough, especially since he's already lost Rose, and losing Martha (though their relationship isn't, imho, the same at all) just brings back the pain he felt in Doomsday. At least, that's how I saw things when he said, "I can lose her."

Have read it already*, do you really intend to write your fics in both languages ? Not that I complain mind you !!!!
I absolutely agree with you on the Ten/Rose relationship versus Ten/Matha's, well he expressed it in Partners in Crime "he just wants A mate"... Ahem, maybe he wanted to..., sometime before he lost Rose..

(* am checking and refreshing the journal every 5 mins, cos' I was told there might be a follow-up to the Impossible serie anytime soon, am expecting it as a licensed Dr Who new ep' now, utterly true)

Awwww. *blushes* Afraid it won't be up tonight, though. Translating the first two stories in the series made me think back on the third story and now I'm not satisfied with the draft I have any more. So I'm reworking on it and it will be posted sometime soon, hopefully before the end of the week... because I'm going back to work on Monday...
