Work Text:
#1 – Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler
You are celestial.
You are made of stars
and born from love.
The heat of the explosion
will never compare to the heat of
her touch.
The shine of your hearts beating
will never be as bright as
her eyes.
You have seen things no one believes,
and you will always believe
in her.
You are celestial
and when you look at her
you collapse all over again.
#2 – Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond ft. a bit of Rory Williams and Amy Pond
It hurt me to watch you suffer.
The worst part was being incapable of helping you.
What was the point of me?
Your smile is false
and you don’t even know it.
There is a longing in your heart
I am trying to satisfy,
but I am a miserable failure.
I may be selfish, selfish enough to want you,
but I am not selfish enough to act on it.
You have a hole in your life
only he can fill.
I am just a story,
a fairytale,
an unbelievable comfort to your broken mind.
All stories have to end, though,
and despite my efforts to rewrite the book,
I always end up on the same torn page.
There’s you, and there’s me,
and there’s you and him.
Two halves of a whole.
In the puzzle that is your life,
he is the only missing piece.
I’ve done so much to attempt
at putting you together,
but my edges are too rough
to fit into that empty space.
I will desperately cut and trim and shape myself
into exactly what you need,
but the fact remains –
he is the only piece who will fit.
The only epilogue you need.
The only star in your sky.
I’m just a dim light in the background,
but as of late, I am your only light.
I so selfishly want you to need my candlelight,
but the best thing about you is your radiance.
You are your own light, now.
You don’t need me anymore,
and even though you don’t need him, either,
he needs you.
So you will always choose him
because together,
his match and your spark create a fire
I only dream to be part of.
#3 – Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald
You are on fire.
You burn everything you touch;
nothing can escape your spark –
not even me.
On the contrary,
I am drawn to your heat,
and I long to be turned to dust simply from your radiance.
I am addicted to your flame
and you know it, too.
You dance and flicker and flash,
practically begging me to lie down and ignite.
And I would… I have.
I have, time and time again,
because you are just so irresistible.
You reduce me to ashes
just with your smile.
God only knows what would happen to me
if I got the privilege to kiss you.
I would gladly submit myself
and allow you to incinerate me
simply by holding my hand.
