Sins of Omission by Tara LJC (PG)
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: None
Author Website: Tara LJC's Fanfiction Library
Why this must be read:
We know that the Time Lords were wiped out by the Time War. But what exactly does that mean?
He doesn't tell her that he'd muttered an apology, and fled to the opposite end of the galaxy where he'd begun combing through the future history of the revised timeline, desperate to understand how the wounds in space and time had healed over without a single scar. Without a single mention of an unearthly dark-haired girl who had once travelled far from home with her grandfather. To whom he had promised to return, one day. He'd wandered at first, searching for signs of his previous existence. But if they existed, they existed now only in the memory of a timeline his own actions had obliterated. Children who now had never been born laughed in his memory. Enemies had been wiped out at the same time as trusted friendships. Dozens, hundreds of lives diverged, friends and enemies dying or living all because they had never met him. All the good he had done had been simply erased. As had all the harm. A clean slate might have been what he had wished for, once. But not at this cost.
