Author's Notes/Warnings (fic): LAS fic, spoilers through 5x09 including canon character death
Author’s Notes (flashback): Originally posted April 2011, I like this one but I recall it didn’t work for other people. There are better fics on this sort of subject out there I suppose, but it was what the prompt inspired me to do and it’s not like I write much Eleven fic.
Humans are so small in the vast, unforgiving universe, but they fight against that in ways no Time Lord would. Now it was Amy, pounding against the TARDIS doors, screaming out her anguish and demanding that he let her go back to Rory. The Doctor knew it was too late for Rory, but Amy didn’t think she had to accept that.
She reminded him of Rose. Rose who never bowed to the inescapable, who fought against the very walls of creation for what she wanted. He had loved her for that, among so many other things, loved her unstoppable human spirit. To rush in where Time Lords would fear to tread.
He heard Amy’s fists beat against the door and they reminded him of that day at Torchwood. He couldn’t hear Rose’s cries through the Void, but he had felt them. Felt that even as her heart shattered, she wouldn’t give up the fight. But he didn’t react that way to losing her, his heartbreak was quiet and complete, nothing was held together by that human need to fight back.
He didn’t have that fight in him, not the way Amy did, not the way Rose did. Instead he walked away, just as he always did.
