DW Fic: After Dark 1/1 (Ten, Martha)

Nov 17, 2009 11:33

Title: After Dark
Characters/Pairing: Martha, Ten; Martha/Tom
Summary: It’s not like the Doctor to suddenly decide he’d quite like to pop by for a visit. Oh, no-that’s not him at all. And if he’s here-if he’s here, after dark, in her flat, in her bedroom, in modern day London-then it can only mean that something somewhere has gone wrong. Post-WoM.

AAAAAHHH AHH MY HEART. That. I don't have words. Martha was the perfect, perfect person to have this scene with, and it's so interesting how he doesn't even ever have to say what happened and it's still enough. And yet not ever enough.

Oh, Martha.

:D Thanks!

Yeah, it was really awesome writing this with Martha. I think with Rose, the whole thing would just... like... absolutely destroy her because she has such a "I hurt when you hurt" relationship with the Doctor. Donna, I think, would be *furious* with him. But Martha has that perfect balance of distance from the Doctor + stable home life to actually challenge him while being sympathetic at the same time.

Poor woobie Doctor! =(

And thank you, Martha, for being the voice of reason.

Poor crazypants woobie Doctor, indeed.

*squishes Martha*

Oh, this was wonderful. I loved it. Just the post WoM fic I've been looking for.

Aww, thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Martha is one of my favourites, so it was nice to have a fic idea for her. :D

*wibbles* Martha was just pitch-perfect here, and the Doctor. Oh, dear, word! Very nice follow-up.

Thanks! :) It's funny because my first instinct after WoM was to write some crazy!Ten/Rose fic and while that's still the plan, Martha elbowed her way in and was like I CAN BRING SOME MUCH NEEDED SANITY TO THIS ARC, and I was like, "Okay, Martha, you BAMF, you win this round."

That was amazing! You could literally feel the weight of it all resting on the Doctor's shoulders. :(

Wonderful fic!

Aww, thanks! Yeah, Ten really needs some serious therapy, I think. XD
