These Are The Days We Live Now by ElizaJane (Explicit)
This is, officially, my last rec of the week and the month. It's been nice driving the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van, but I've got to go and pick up calufrax and put together the Key of Time. I'm leaving you all with a recent New Who favorite of mine.
Fandom: DOCTOR WHO
Pairing: Donna Noble/Idris (the TARDIS)
Length: 5487
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: AO3 profile
Why this must be read: Canon portrays the Doctor having a relationship of sorts with his TARDIS. But what if the TARDIS was interested in some of his companions? Donna wasn't interested in the Doctor, but maybe she was interested in Idris. This is a story of a doomed romance between them.
They're somewhere deep in space, the first time Donna feels the true force of Idris' presence, her awareness, her attention, her delight.
The tidal rush and pull of desire, of love.
They've been traveling for -- multiple cycles of sleep and wakefulness. More days than she cares to keep track of. The Doctor's traveled so far and so long that distance and chronology fade in and out of focus in his consciousness. She's learned that questions of time and place -- "where are we going?" and "when will we get there?" and "how long has it been since --?" and "when will we --?" -- elicit multiple, conflicting answers. And since the where and when and how long of where they are bears no relation to the where and when at the other end of her mobile (Cheswick, England, 2008) she's let the habit of temporal concern unfurl within her and drift away.
