Rose sank down on to the captain’s bench in the console room with a grateful sigh. ( Eyes closed, she took a deep breath and steeped herself in the feeling of finally, after the longest year of her life, finally being home. )

Charley let her Doctor lead her into the TARDIS, jogging slightly to keep up with his long strides. ( She glanced over her shoulder as they crossed the threshold, saw Rose standing close to the other Doctor and watching him carefully. )

Rose immediately decided it wasn’t one of their most well-thought-out plans, but then again, it wasn’t one of their worst, either. ( And, she admitted, they were regrettably low on resources and assets. )

Charley wasn’t sure how any of it was actually supposed to work, but it sounded to her like there was a lot of destruction inherent in the Rani’s plan. ( Breaking locks and double paradoxes – definitely not things Charley wanted any part of, she was certain of that. )

When the Rani asked about Gallifrey, Rose wished she could whisk the Doctor out of the room, away from the woman with the sharp red nails and the sardonic voice who was insisting on bringing up old pain, resurrecting old ghosts. ( Rose grimaced inwardly. )

The Doctor’s hand was warm and comforting on the small of Charley’s back as he led her further into the third TARDIS’ console room. ( She listened as her Doctor and the other Doctor discussed whose TARDIS it might be. )

Rose slipped her hand into the Doctor’s – her Doctor’s. ( She was still having trouble believing that he was actually there, that all this was actually happening, that it wasn’t some crazy dream or the aneurysm she’d briefly suspected when she’d first heard the telltale sound of the TARDIS’ materialization only hours before. )

Charley gaped at the Doctor, silhouetted in the TARDIS doorway by the low lights of the console room in which they’d landed. ( She’d never seen her Doctor react this way to anything, and she was certain that this Doctor, with his silver tongue that never seemed to stop moving, didn’t often react this way either. )

Rose stared mutely at the TARDIS that had just materialized in front of her and the Doctor. ( She tried to tell herself that it could be any version of the Doctor, at any point in his life. )

After a few terrifying moments of violent shaking and loud noises, the TARDIS fell silent and still. ( Charley got slowly to her knees, pushing away slightly from the wall where she’d braced herself during their wild trip. )

“Here we are,” the Doctor said pleasantly, landing the TARDIS with what seemed to Rose to be a bit more finesse than she was used to experiencing when either of her versions of the Doctor were doing the flying. ( She wondered if the fact that Gallifrey still existed for him contributed somehow to his TARDIS-flying prowess. )

“So, Charley Pollard,” the Doctor said, smiling at her across the console. “One trip. Where would you like to go?”

( Charley thought for a moment. )

Rose poured vinegar and salt over her chips and watched the Doctor carefully do the same with his own chips. ( He was so different than either of her versions of the Doctor. Her first Doctor had usually put away a basket of chips with restrained gusto, heavy on the salt and light on the vinegar. )

The door opened, and Charley froze mid-pound. A skinny young man in a torn and battered tuxedo stared at her, stunned surprise showing plainly in his brown eyes. His hair was a shock of brown spiking in all directions. He looked like he’d just come from a war fought in formal clothing instead of armor or uniforms. “What?” he said in a dumbfounded voice.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Charley said, fumbling for words and praying that her voice didn’t break from the emotional blow of someone other than the Doctor appearing at that moment. “I was expecting someone else.”


Charley stood just outside the TARDIS door, staring at the skinny man who had opened it. He stared right back, still looking gobsmacked. ( 'I am sorry,' Charley said again. )

Rose’s hands shook as she fumbled to get the key into the lock on the door of the TARDIS. She was fairly certain that she wasn’t dreaming, unless she’d had an aneurysm sometime between leaving her desk and reaching this alleyway, because why would she have dreamt the entire workday first? ( Of course, if it was a dream, it would break her heart come morning, or whenever she woke up in whatever hospital bed in which she landed. )

A universe away from Rose Tyler and in another time, either in the future or the past depending on which way one looked at it, the TARDIS dematerialized while the Doctor watched the image of old Mr. Copper, still skipping with happiness, fade away on the screen. ( The Doctor hadn’t set any destination coordinates when he’d dematerialized, so the TARDIS simply drifted aimlessly through the Vortex. )

The TARDIS was drifting aimlessly through the Vortex, and the Doctor settled himself comfortably into the plush armchair he kept in the console room for just these sorts of lazy stretches of time. The lamp next to the chair cast a warm glow around him, and the hum of the time rotor soothed his ragged edges as much as the slim volume of poetry he was reading.

( He missed Charley, more than he’d expected to – which was saying something, because he’d spent most of the time she’d been with him dreading the day she would finally insist on being left behind in Singapore. )

Notes/Disclaimer: Written because a scene from chapter two popped into my head one day and wouldn't let me go. Beta'ed as always by the incomparable unbrokensky. I own nothing. Obviously ;) I am so ridiculously sorry for the delay in getting this final chapter up! I was caught up in (a) PLANET OF THE DEAD OMG and (b) finishing the first draft of my next fic, which is sadly not a sequel to this (although one is in the planning stages), but rather a multi-Doctor fic I'm really excited about featuring Eight and Ten, and will begin posting as soon as I finish editing it. ANYWAY, here - finally! - is the conclusion to Smith and Tyler. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Martha sat quietly on the back of an ambulance, watching the chaos swirling around her in the surprisingly organized way that it always seemed to when the danger was over and it was time to pick up the pieces. ( While one paramedic checked her over, others hurried around checking others, handing out oxygen tanks, and finding the patients who were worst off and bundling them away to other hospitals to recover. )

Martha Jones told herself that there was no shame whatsoever in just how much her hands were shaking, circumstances being what they were. ( The Judoon who had first scanned her was drawing a thick black x on her hand, as he had for all the other humans.  )
