Title: Sheer Memory
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairings/Characters: Eleven/Rose, TARDIS
Rating: K+ (Blink-and-you'll-miss-it implications)
Notes: The first of perhaps three entries for Challenge 94 over at then_theres_us. It didn't come out exactly like I wanted, but it's sorta a weird idea to begin with. Enjoy.

I like this! I love the ~uncertainty~ of which he keeps trying to justify to himself the curtains' origin!

[mermaids_feet]

:3 Thank you. I felt like I was overusing the word 'maybe', but there's not really any other way I could have gotten it to feel right... on second thought, maybe that should have been the title. *muses*

Thanks bunches for reading and commenting! I'm glad you liked it.

AAAAAH! I can just see 11 staring at a shower curtain with that wide-eyed look on his face.

This was excellent. I secretly (not so, actually) love Eleven/Rose and I like the way you wove the TARDIS in here, too. Thanks for posting!

[mermaids_feet]

It's in my head! GAH! THE ANGST!

I think everyone secretly has a soft spot for 11/Rose. I mean, how could they not? I have, like, three other 11/Rose stories floating around my head right now, and I don't really know why other than the fact that it's 11/Rose.

Thanks for reading and commenting! Glad you liked it! ^^

Ohhh, those last two lines are golden. What a beautifully angsty ending! I really loved this fic, it was beautiful and heartbreaking. Well done!

[mermaids_feet]

Thanks. I was kinda writing towards the last line or so from the beginning, and then it almost didn't happen. ^^; Glad you liked it. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I loved this. I can almost see him just burying his face in the curtains like he can't help himself. Love the TARDIS especially. She would remember and hold onto Rose.

[mermaids_feet]

Yeah, burying his face in and taking a huge whiff, about to cry. But he doesn't, he just whispers "I hate coconut" instead...

Meh, the comments keep making me sad. Thanks for reading, though, and I'm glad that you liked it. And the TARDIS would certainly never forget Rose (or let the Doctor forget).

Love the flow of this story - all of his uncertainty and that subtle angst that he doesn't quite let himself feel (or maybe he does). Beautifully written. <3

[mermaids_feet]

Thanks! I'm really glad you like the way I portrayed it and everything. It means a lot that you took the time to read and comment. ^^

Also: I see what you did there.
