02; He's a real nowhere man [sitting in his nowhere land]

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[And since he has very little else to do besides sulk, have a wet, suit-jacket-less Doctor, coming fresh off of the S4 finale.

He looks rather unhappy. Have fun!]




OOC: Will more likely than not contain spoilers to s4 of Doctor Who.

Why not? He's my husband. I have every right to be with him.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

He hurts you. I thought---

[defeated]

It doesn't matter what I thought.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

No, Doctor. He's saving me from the life you've condemned me to. [smiles] I do so miss him. That's something you understand, isn't it? Longing? Missing the person you love?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

If you were me ... you'd make the same choice then, wouldn't you? To go to him.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It's not the same. She made me better. He makes you worse.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[ah-hah, and the reason comes out] Who did you lose, Doctor? Martha Jones, perhaps? Or someone else?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter. The situation isn't the same!

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[presses] Was it your fault this time, too, Doctor? Did you chase her away, lock her up? Did you break her?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[smirks] And you call my husband evil. Why should I accept your help when you can't even take care of the people you claim to love?

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[cynical smile]

You can't make me hate you, Lucy. No matter how hard you try. See, you'll always fall second best in that.

The only person I'll ever hate is the Master. The only person the Master will ever love is me.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[angrily] I should have shot you. It was all your fault -- I should have shot you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Funny, because instead you shot him.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

I was saving him. I was saving him and hurting you! I didn't ... I didn't want to hurt Harry, I didn't, I swear I didn't hate him, but you ... you made me...!

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You're very good at blaming other people. Or maybe just me. It's my fault he hit you, my fault you're not happy, my fault you shot him.

Is there anything you can't blame me for?

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[stares, the anger draining from her face] The stars. You didn't take the stars away. The dead and the dying and the silence ... that wasn't you. [looks down] That wasn't you.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

[it's not the reaction he expected, but it's...something]

I'm sorry, Lucy. I'm so sorry.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

Why? Why be sorry for that? It was beautiful. It was. I thought that at the time, you know. Hearing the screams of the human race as it destroyed itself. I thought it beautiful. It wasn't until later I realised how empty it all really was. How empty everything was. Just broken little pieces of the world. Broken and lonely.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Lots of things are beautiful until you realize how much they hurt. Supernovas. Sandstorms. Unrequited love. It's when we realize that they hurt that makes us...

['human' isn't the right word]

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

I liked it better when it was beautiful. I liked it better before the drumming, before I couldn't think, before everything fell apart. I liked you better then, too, Doctor. You were just a silly man Harry fancied, who he wanted to play with. I didn't hate you then.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

Would you really rather live in ignorance?

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

[gives him a long look, then sighs] No, I suppose not. But I also don't want to live alone, Doctor. You want to be with your loved ones; have the decency to let me live with mine.

[rude-not-ginger.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be alone, Lucy. He's not the only person in the universe.

[shatteredqueen.livejournal.com]

No, he isn't. The universe has people like you in it, as well. But I love him. I lost him once, Doctor. I don't fancy losing him again. I know you can understand that.
