Rose and Ten one shots.

Stars.

(Authors note)

Hi guys, I know I said once a week, and this is early, but I have been wanting to try a songfic, so here it is. It's my first songfic, so I'd love it if you would give me your opinion on it. It's a fic of the song Stars, by Sophie Madeleine. Not many people seem to have heard of her, (I promise you I am not a hipster) but I am in love with her music. I put the video in the whatever you call it, but personally, I think it's a bit rubbish, and that it really detracts from the song. I would just listen to the music and ignore the video if I were you.  Most of her songs go along perfectly with my OTPs,  But I thought this song was exceptionally perfect for the Doctor and Rose. (I highly recommend that you go listen to The Rhythm You Started, and You Are My Favourite, immediately) Anyways, this is in the Doctors perspective, and set in between Rose getting sucked into the parallel universe, and the Doctor's message to her. The song parts are italicized. I think that's all you need to know, so here it is.

(End of lengthy author's note)

The stars won’t shine, until you’re mine.

I have spent the past few decades searching fruitlessly for a way to find her again. My perfect Rose Tyler. I am determined to never give in to the hopeless depression that threatens to take over my being. I will find her, I must find her.

The moon won’t glow, until you know

I must find her, bring her back to the TARDIS with me, and tell her how I feel. I was too much a coward, and thought we had eternity. Now it is too late.

Ever since you stumbled blindly, fell into my world,

Could it have been simply chance that brought us together, or perhaps something more?

I have come undone, my hearts unfurled.

She melted the frigid barrier surrounding my hearts, taught me to see beauty through pain, fixed me.

No sun has set, ever since you left.

Time for me has come to a standstill now that she’s gone. I cannot bring myself to leave the TARDIS, nothing holds my interest anymore. Suns are dim, people and animals are dull and cruel, and colours have all gone grey.

The clocks all stopped, but you did not.

I know that the world is still spinning for her, that she is doomed to wake up, eat, and sleep, in a world so alike, and yet so different to her own. No more adventures, no more danger, only a beige, grating consistency.

I need to wind the earth again to start it going round,

Something deep in my hearts tells me I need to go back to earth. Be the perpetual hero, and find a new companion to stave off loneliness, but I can’t bring myself to cast away the memory of my lovely Bad Wolf.

I need to right what let you down.

Eventually, I know I will start up the old cycle again, slip back into that same old groove, but when I do, I will be cautious. No more life ruining complications, I’ve learned my lesson this time.

The time has come to take a breath, get out this hole get out this mess of mine, of mine.

I need to stop marinating in a pool of my own misery, nothing good will ever come of it. I need to find another companion and show them the stars. Then at least I can be making someone happy.

I’ve dreamt of you but I need more, than fiction in its purest form and I, am willing to try.

I decide the time has come for a final goodbye. There is still a small hole in the fabric of time. It’s large enough for a projection to get through, but nothing more substantial. I have been avoiding this option, because once I send the projection through, the rip will close, and I will never be able to see her again. I spent many months trying to find a way to widen the crack without collapsing the universe, but now must finally accept defeat.

So I’ll call you up, with words of love. And write you songs, with your name on. And wait for all the orbits in your head, to align, no the stars won’t shine until you’re mine. No the stars won’t shine, until you’re mine.

I will only have a few precious moments to speak with her before the crack closes, so I plan my words out carefully, fully intending to solve all mystery regarding my emotions. Now all that is left to do is wait for a day that feels right. Then, I will find my Rose, soak in her face one last time, and hopefully provide a somewhat satisfactory goodbye to my dear companion. When I finish our story, I will go make new ones with other companions, and we will traverse the galaxy together, but I know that the stars will never be quite as bright as they were with her by my side, and I will always hold on to the improbable hope that one day, they will shine brightly over both of us again.
