Why this must be read:
The series four finale, Journey's End aired quite some time ago and yet fandom is still rocking from its effects. The fanfiction produced in its wake has given fandom some simply terrific tales of heartbreak and starting over, including this one. Zoicite's JE fix-it fic is different from most: getting back that person the Doctor once knew and loved is hard work for the both of them, both before and after. It's the value of memories, the weight of friendship, the want for someone to love and the pull of an old life they'd never thought would come back again.
If you love Donna, love Ten when he's with Donna, was upset at the end of both Forest of the Dead and Journey's End, and enjoy a plotty good fix-it story, you should seriously consider reading Let's Forget We're Running (Out of Time).
“Oi,” she calls after him, grabs at his arm. He flinches a little at her touch and turns back to look at her. “What did you say your name was? Last time, you told me your name.”
“John Smith,” he says. “John.”
“That’s a bit boring, isn’t it?” she asks. She’s not a complete moron. If someone wanted to give her a phony name, John Smith’s the exact sort of thing they’d come up with.
“Yeah,” he agrees. “I suppose it is.”
He stares at her, his face blank. She thinks he’s a nutter, bonkers, clearly off his rocker. A skinny twig of a man in a woman’s suit. And then he shakes his head and says, “Are you hungry?”
She shrugs and says “God knows you could use a good meal,” and is following him across the square before she even has time to think about it. And when she does she thinks that maybe she’s the one that’s a bit bonkers.
