He still keeps the phone in his jacket pocket, even though it hasn’t rung in years.
It didn’t ring when all the children stopped in their tracks.
It didn’t even ring when people stopped dying.
But it’s ringing now - and he doesn’t want to answer it, but he has to.
It’s Martha. Of course it’s Martha.
“Doctor,” she says, “She remembered.”
His hearts catch in his chest.
No - he thinks - no, the defense mechanism was supposed to keep her safe. And now it’s one more thing he won’t be able to forgive himself for.
“Is she - ?” He chokes on the next word.
“Oh no. No. Doctor, she’s fine,” Martha quickly assures him, “I don’t know what happened but she’s fine. Her brain hasn’t exploded. She’s okay.”
She’s okay.
He doesn’t know what to say, except to repeat to himself, She’s okay. Donna’s okay. She’s okay.
“She’s waiting for you, Doctor,” Martha tells him, and adds, after a few moments, with that quiet, uncanny intelligence he always wishes he’d been more openly appreciative about, “You can come back now. You can stop running.”
——
His fingers tremble as he sets the TARDIS controls for Chiswick.

(check my tags. i've done this before.) weeping at myself tbh. #fic #ficset #gifs2 #sets #mine1 #dw x torchwood

death by flail
shawne. f. 904 years old. [ ask . archive ]
film, theatre and tv buff with a tendency to talk too much about donna noble in tag form. i like a lot of stuff, especially if it includes belty awesome. at the moment, doctor who, david tennant and catherine tate have TAKEN OVER MY LIFE. also having quite a massive les miserables situation right now.
other current tv fandoms:
. raising hope . castle . bones . 30 rock . the good wife . misfits . miranda . parks and recreation . modern family . sherlock . absolutely fabulous . black books . desperate housewives . house .
