I've had the same thought regarding these two. Why wouldn't the same thing happen to Ten II as happened to Donna? I'm a little jealous someone else wrote the fic before I had the chance to -- but you did it beautifully. Thank you.
My theory is that because his body grew from a bit of a Time Lord he's more Time Lordy than human - thus his body (although very human) is made to balance itself just enough to cope with the the Time Lord brain.
Or, y'know, maybe this happened instead :P I've actually read a few fics where Ten2 dies young because his single heart can't cope with his brain or this other one where goes into shock trying to control his memories and just gets overwhelmed. That was really sad - he was like a zombie and Rose couldn't do anything about it. Excellent fic though.
Hey and don't let me writing this fic stop you from writing your own along the same sort of lines! I'd love to read it! I'm rather an angstwhore XP
Do you have links to any of those other stories, by chance? All the ones you mentioned sound quite intriguing. This whole scenario (TenII dying/getting physically overwhelmed, etc.) is very interesting to me.
*HUGE SNIFF* Oh, that's just the saddest thing! :( But in the good way, lol! ;) Very nicely done (and the banner for it is just perfect!). Great job! ♥!
Oh, god. It's so obvious that Human!Ten should have a metacrisis -- how different could he have been from DoctorDonna? What was RTD thinking? It makes for some good angsty fic, though...
He’s given her a second chance with a false start that she can’t forget.
That is just a wonderful line.
The machines hum and click softly around him like insects, the tubes and wires are the feelers, the antennae searching and holding his body, keeping him safe.
And that's both comforting and eerie. They're taking care of him -- what's left of him -- but it feels almost as though they're feeding on him as well. The critter from "Turn Left" comes to mind.
But she doesn't give up on him. The last line brought tears to my eyes. Bravo :)

Good call there. It does remind me a bit of the beetle come to think of it. I imagined lots of clicking for some reason :P
Yes I made the banner :) I like making fanfiction headers to go with my stories
