"The Girl in the Fireplace" by Jacob Clifton

Rose stares at him as he works, brittle and quiet.

"Are you all right?"

And the Doctor looks up, and says something as incomprehensible, as painful, as ugly, as worthless--and as true, and as beautiful--as he's ever said:

"I'm always all right."


--Jacob Clifton, TWOP

Oh, the Doctor. I absolutely love the Russell T. Davies era of Doctor Who. And on top of that, there are the recaps by Jacob, who writes like a poet with nothing but time and humanity's window. There are a few passages he's written that I've kept close to me.
