Ships passing in the night - one shot

A short and bittersweet fic based on a headcanon.
Dedicated to Tje1415 for being there for me to rant to after this episode, and after any episode, and to FangirliestFangirl for making me write it (although you don't deserve it as you keep breaking my heart in that roleplay)

Jenny woke up, and then she flew.

Young and free and ready to see the universe. And trying to find one certain person. But she never did.

They were two ships passing in the night. She'd arrive somewhere, have an adventure, and straight after she'd left, the blue box would fade into existence. Or the opposite, she would arrive for the aftermath, and people talking about the doctor, and know that she'd missed him.

And then she died.

And then she woke up again, but different, and she didn't know why but just assumed it was something to do with that 'Time Lord' thing they had mentioned.

When she arrived on earth, she never wanted to leave. It was so intense and so full of life and so full of stories about him that she was sure to find him one day.

And she did.

She was married by then, to a Silurian named Vastra, and they had a butler named Strax and they were happy.

But then he arrived. He called himself the Doctor and he had a blue box but he looked different and she only realized too late.

And when he came back, she couldn't bring herself to say.

They were like two ships passing at night, but they couldn't both see in the dark.

That would just be too easy
