Title: Male Bonding
Rating: G
Authors: _thirty2flavors & goldy_dollar
Characters/Pairings: Ten2, Pete Tyle (Ten2/Rose and Jackie/Pete)
Length: ~1,800 words
Summary: Jackie’s attempt to get Pete and the Doctor to bond doesn’t go precisely as planned.
Excerpt: This was meant to be "male bonding time", Jackie had said. The Doctor was family now, Jackie had said. It would be nice for them to spend some time together outside of work, Jackie said, and do something relaxing instead of butting heads over Torchwood weapons policy.

Author’s notes: The only real excuse we have for this is that we were bored one night and a joke turned into a round-robin. And then I wrote an ending and rushed to post it while it was still December 25 in my timezone. And for those who may wonder as they read on: yep, it’s a real thing.

Rating: PG-13
Characters/Pairings: Ten II/Rose
Genre: Angst, drama
Warnings: No standard warnings for this chapter, but the fic as a whole deals with themes of memory loss.
Summary: When the Doctor is injured during an alien attack, he and Rose are left struggling to cope with the aftermath.
Excerpt: He looked old, she thought, suddenly. She could see all those nine hundred years reflected back in his eyes. She felt a pang as she remembered how he’d been as John Smith—was it really better for him now to have his memories back? To have to take up the burden of the Time War again?

Author's note: Omg, this too so much longer than we anticipated, and I am very sorry for the delay. Who knew one single scene would take so long to write? Also, I saw some weird things going on with copy-paste from GoogleDocs, and I think I caught all the formatting glitches, but if you see any, please point them out.

Authors’ notes: Thanks to hysteriagalore for encouraging our nefarious use of her homeland. And my apologies to the world of modern science in general for the use of technobabble rooted in Daleks in Manhattan. We are an English major and a law student, what can I say.
