[Fic] Five Times Theta Left And One Time He Stayed.

It's the first thing he's ever been really sure of.

She's upset when he tells her that he's leaving but, and he notes this with a quiet sadness in his heart, she doesn't seem surprised. Maybe she expected it, maybe she thought he really was like the Doctor, that he could pick up and leave so easily. Oh but she would be wrong because he doesn't want to leave her, not at all.

However, he also knows that this is best, this is what has to be done so Rose Tyler can be brilliant. She doesn't need anyone weighing her down, especially anyone like him.

He'll find his own way maybe, but even if he doesn't, he has complete faith that she'll find hers.

[Fic] Patience Is A Virtue (But You Can Only Wait For So Long)

Koschei isn't there when he wakes up. It's not unnerving though, not in the slightest and Theta stretches a little, snuggling onto the pillows as his muscles relax and nuzzling at the pillow that the other most often occupied.

It was still warm, still smelled like him.

A part of him wants to get up and find the man but the rest of him says that staying right here is the better option.

Koschei would find him eventually.

[FIc] Five Things You Can't Remember, No Matter What.

He wakes up but it's only from a dream. His mind is still bleary and he snuggles into his pillows, trying to hold onto the images that danced in his mind.

It was pretty, so very pretty. Suns, two suns glowing against an orange sky and such red grass. He wanted to sit in it, to feel it between his fingers and watch as silver leaves fell from the trees. With the reflections of the sky, they looked like dancing balls of firelight, like some little spirits come around to visit him and play.

It was his favorite place to go when he dreamt.

And he tells Koschei about it, mumbles his memories in a tone that clearly says he's half asleep and he doesn't know what he's saying, doesn't realize that it pulls a reaction from the other but he can't help but tell him.

It was just so lovely, he had to share.

[Fic] (Not Quite) Thirty Sentences In (Not Quite) Thirty Days

I've never seen anyone fly a ship the way he does. I've seen the Doctor fly and he loves his ship, he truly does, but him? It's different with him. It's soothing. I think I rather like it.

Got lost in the ship TARDIS, it was fascinating! I should do it again sometime soon.

You know, I'm not actually sure he sleeps.

On occasion things come back to me, things like the Doctor and Donna Noble, or Rose Tyler. I remember the Daleks, I remember how the Doctor (the first one, not the second one...No, no that's no right the Tenth one and the one after that) how he thought it best I go with her. Then it's gone again, then all of it's gone and I look back here and read what I've forgotten.

Turns out I was wrong, he sleeps, just not anywhere I've ever seen before. It looks quite nice in there though. One day I might go in. [scrawled next to it in rushed handwriting] Don't forget where it is. Maps, you should really draw a map.
