Title:: shifts and swirls Fandom: Doctor Who, new season. Word Count: 111 Warning:: this is explicitly about the ending of the current season, so it's spoilery. (Don't know if anyone here is a Who fan...)
He sees the TARDIS dematerialize; he’s too late to go with them.
She sees him burn up in a blaze of fire; it’s too late to stop it.
He feels himself contract and then expand, receding and then rushing headlong into a new consciousness; it’s over almost before it started.
He’s alone.
She wonders if she’ll be alone now.
He watches himself try out his new teeth, and feels the weight of nine lives pressing in upon him, and it’s lonelier than ever.
Time shifts and swirls and it’s all at their disposal, but there’s nothing to do but go forward, because in the end, you really can’t change the past.
