Characters: Dean Winchester, Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler
Two years after his dream of the Doctor, Dean and Sam lost their father. The police called it a "tragic accident," and no matter how it's phrased, it sucked and it wasn't fair. Their dad only went to the store for some ice cream and he got caught in the crossfire between the police and three armed robbers. The police all offered their condolences but it meant nothing to Dean, he blamed them. Sam just clung to Dean like his life depended on it. The memorial service was held in Lawrence, the one place Dean swore to never return to, but it made sense to bury their father with their mother. After the service, all of their dad's friends stayed with them until social services showed up. Bobby, Ellen, Caleb, Pastor Jim, and Rufus waved them goodbye as they were taken away from everything they have ever known.
The moment they entered foster care, they got split up; Sam to a wealthy couple and Dean to a scholarly couple who moved constantly. They were allowed to keep in contact, but after a year they stopped. Dean, because he figured it was better if Sam forgot all about him, and Sam kept losing Dean's constant number changes, so he just gave up and waited until Dean called again. He never did.
On Dean's 15th birthday he dreamed of the Doctor again. Instead of the Doctor wearing his traditional black leather jacket like last time, he was wearing a long coat or trench coat, and he looked completely different but Dean knew he was the Doctor just as he knew something was wrong. This new Doctor was arguing against Torchwood (how he knew that is beyond him), and Rose was there. The Doctor must have regenerated (again he didn't know how he knew this).
Cybermen were there, and to Dean's horror, so were the Daleks. Why can't they ever die?
The Cybermen and the Daleks were fighting each other, both ignoring the Doctor thankfully. As long as they forgot about him then the Doctor would be able to figure out a way to stop the invading forces. Dean's faith was not misplaced as the Doctor found a way to put the robotic men back to where they belong. Dean cheered as his Doctor put his plan into motion. His merriment died as the Doctor once again sent Rose away to safety. Why can't the Doctor ever find a way to stop some evil force without putting his life in danger?
Dean shouted at the Doctor to quit being an idiot with suicidal tendencies. The Doctor just laughed and said why change what's working. "You'll survive?" Dean asked, the answer holding everything he needed to keep on going. He lost his mother, father and his baby brother; he couldn't lose the Doctor too. (Well, again.) The Doctor stopped what he was doing and looked him in the eyes and said, "I don't know if I will, Dean" He looked so sad, like last time, and Dean couldn't watch him die.
"Why do I only remember you when you're about to die?"
The Doctor froze. Dean could read the Doctor so clearly, he honestly didn't know why he only appeared to Dean when the possibility of him dying popped up. Dean watched as the Doctor puzzled this over as he finished doing whatever he was doing.
"I don't know why that is." The Doctor admitted. "Remember when you were four and you asked me why only you could see me." At Dean's nod, the Doctor continued, "Do you remember what I said?"
Dean frowned in concentration as he tried to recall the Doctor's words. "You said it's because I'm special and that you would never leave me. But you lied. You left me."
"Only because you asked me to." The Doctor pointed out. "And I never left you, Dean, not really. I was there in the peripheral."
Dean smiled. "Just in the corner of my eye, the part that sees everything." The Doctor smiled back as he finished his calibrations. Taking a deep breath the Doctor walked over to the computers to start the machine up. Wanting to have the Doctor stop, Dean wished someone would show up and save the Doctor from his own arrogance, to Dean's delight Rose showed up. Yes! She'll save him like last time. Dean watched as Rose and the Doctor hung on for dear life as the Cybermen and Daleks were sucked back into the void. Dean had to laugh at that. Figures. The void is what helped him remember the Doctor.
Dean's laughter died in his throat as Rose's lever was moving, it wasn't locked! Watching in horror, Rose moved to put the lever back in place. He cried out in joy as she managed to lock it. It was short-lived as the pull of the void began dragging Rose to it. Dean could hear the Doctor crying out for her. Someone save her, Dean thought frantically. He knew what was coming, so did the Doctor, they both watched as Rose took one last look at the Doctor before losing her grip.
"NO!" They both cried out.
Thank the gods, Rose's father appeared and saved her, taking her back to his world. She was safe, but she and the Doctor could no longer travel together. The Doctor was alone once more.
Dean looked on as the Doctor mourned for his lost companion.
"I'm sorry." Dean whispered.
The Doctor gave a bitter laugh. "They're always stolen from me. The best of them."
Dean frowned at that. "What do you mean they're always stolen from you?"
The Doctor didn't reply for the longest time. He just sat there against the wall, getting as close to Rose as he could without breaking through the veil. Just as Dean was about to leave, he could feel himself starting to wake up, the Doctor spoke, "I lost you, didn't I? You grew up. You needed to grow up, but it still doesn't change the fact that you were stolen from me."
Dean didn't know what to say to that.
The last thing Dean saw, before awareness began taking over, was the Doctor looking so tired. It scared him more than anything he's seen so far.
Despite dreaming of the Doctor again, Dean went on as if nothing has changed even though everything was all wrong.
