Fic: The Scientist, Part One (PG-13, AU, Ten/Rose)

The Scientist. It's been a while since I did multi-chaptered fic, and this is extremely multi-chaptered for me. Bear with me. Anyway: PG-13 for language, Ten/Rose, and very AU. This story splits from canon at The Lazarus Experiment, and assumes Martha and Ten parted ways amicably at that point. And yes, it is technically a Human Nature/Family of Blood AU.

Oh, that's enough explaining. Here it is, already.




There is only one photograph left from their wedding- all the others, she told him, were lost when they moved from the apartment. He can barely remember that apartment; just the sensation of the neon lights from the deli across the street, glowing green and blue through the bedroom windows at all hours, soaking into his eyelids and coloring his skin.

Part One



Now she remembers that first day- that second first day, the day he came back to her, just wrong, with a head full of human nonsense and a black hole where those memories ought to be, but still this- still love for her, luminous and elastic as a flame, still bright. It kills her to know what she meant to him, even filtered through his make-believe identity, through the hide-and-seek; even after all this time.
