Fic: Caterpillar. (Rose/Ten, PG, Challenge 25.)

Caterpillar. Rose/Ten, PG-ish, Challenge 25 (photos.) This is set just after the Doctor's regeneration into Ten.

One side-effect of traveling so long is that you begin to see patterns in things: drips and swirls of ice-cream, bootprints in snow, grooves in the Victrola.

I love every single thing about this ♥

Aw.

Thank you, dear. :)

I am completely entranced by this. I love the images you create, layers upon layers of meaning in his mind and mine. It's beautiful.

Thank you!

I feel like Ten's the rambling one, the one who can stretch a single thought into two or three or five, and if his thought patterns are anything like his speech patterns it's got to be a mess up there. XD

This is so, so gorgeous. I can't even pick a favorite part. I love the bit with the commuter on the train, the skull trembling beneath the skin. Love how he stares at the ice cubes. Love that he forgets the time when she looks at him. Love love love.

Thank you so! I'm glad you didn't think the Sayers bit was weird. I liked it, but I wasn't sure.

Ice cubes are pretty, I swear.
