Doctor Who, Donna, she dreams of a world consumed by flames

Fill: Dream of Fire

[drabblewriter.livejournal.com]

Usually she sleeps fine, but sometimes when she tosses and turns in her bed in the TARDIS and finally falls into a fitful sleep, she dreams the strangest things. In her head, she sees horrible visions - terrified faces, screaming, tears, an entire planet ablaze. In the dream, she feels hopeless, overwhelmingly grieved, yet somehow satisfied. She doesn’t know why she sees it, only that it’s nothing she’s experienced before, and it’s the most incredibly vivid dream she’s ever had.

After it happens four or five times, she mentions it to the Doctor. She expects him to brush it off as her mind working out the crazy things they see on their adventures. She doesn’t expect the shocked and disturbed look that flickers across his face.

He’s uncharacteristically silent for a moment before saying, “It’s just a dream. Try to ignore it.”

But she knows it’s something else, and it worries and confuses her. “Doctor-”

“Leave it.” Said in that tone that brooks no argument.

Donna just gives him a look before wandering off to the wardrobe, figuring she’ll let him stew for awhile and eventually he’ll spill the secret. He’s really not that great at keeping them from her.

When she’s gone, the Doctor glares at the nearest wall of his TARDIS and demands, “Why would you show her that?”

There’s no reply in words, only the ever-present comforting hum of his home away from home, but he knows her answer anyway. He still isn’t over losing Gallifrey, never will to be honest, but his TARDIS wants Donna to help. He thinks he wants that too.

The Final Word Was Love (Percy Jackson Series, Sally/Poseidon)

[bluerosefairy.livejournal.com]

All the myths are true, he'd said, the night they first met on that beach in Montauk. The competition for Athens with my sister. The rapes of Caeneus and Medusa. My hatred for Odysseus. Earthquakes and typhoons and hurricanes. Scylla and Charybdis.

Why are you telling me this?, she'd replied.

He leaned closer to her, and it's not just his godhood, the spark in his eyes, that draws her in. It's the almost-human twist to his mouth, the callouses on his fingers as he grips her hands in his. Because honesty does not come easy to my kind. We deal in riddles and rumors, not truth. But you, Sally - you deserve truth. You deserve so much more than I can ever give you.

She's an orphan from Queens, who used to live with a sick uncle and now doesn't really have a home at all. She's crashing at a beach house that just happens to be empty this week, she has precisely fifty-six dollars to her name, and she's barely past twenty-one. She's caught the eye of an actual god mostly due to an ability she didn't know she had. She doesn't have a clue what she's really worth.

You can understand just how easy it was to fall for him.

It was hopelessly cliche, and they'd known it would have to end in tears, but it had been worth it. Because Sally doesn't regret a single day of that summer. The memory of eyes as green as the sea, shoulders broad and sheltering, tears like rainwater when she told him she was pregnant - they keep her strong in her resolve to protect herself and her son. They carry her through twelve years of looking over her shoulder and seven years with Gabe Ugliano. Every time Gabe had raised a hand to her (in lust, in anger, and sometimes she couldn't tell the difference), all it took was the glimpse of an ocean, the summer breeze off Culloden Point, to remind her that once, she'd been loved.

When her son reaches his teenage years, she begins to see his father in him. The line of Percy's jaw, his bright smile, the sudden flush of anger - they're every bit of what she remembers of Poseidon. But his eyes mirror hers, bright and blue like Long Island Sound. Through the battles with monsters and Titans alike, what gives her comfort is that her son is stronger than both his parents, human and divine.

The night of Percy's fifteenth birthday, she's already been flustered enough when Paul proposes to her, but then there's a knock on the door of her tiny apartment and Poseidon - Hawaiian shirt and all - smiles at her from the landing. Paul isn't pleased when Poseidon asks to speak with first Percy, then her, but Paul is honest and sweet and completely, utterly normal, and she loves him for it.

So she climbs out onto the fire escape with Poseidon (which is so incongruous, but yet it feels like they've been doing silly things like this all her life) and watches the night breeze ruffle his hair.

Is this a goodbye?, she asks. You wouldn't be here unless the world was coming to an end.

He shakes his head. It's a goodbye for now. War has broken out, and I will not have Percy any further involved than he's already going to be.

I know better than to ask, but will you be all right? she says, laying a hand on his shoulder and feeling the old warmth return between them.

Only you would think to ask, he says. His hand briefly raises to brush through her hair and then over her lips. Only for you would I confess that no, I will not be all right. But I refuse to lie down and allow Oceanus to overthrow me. So I will fight, no matter the cost.

Impulsively, she winds her arms around his waist, and kisses him. It's soft and slow, the easy roll of the tide against the shore, and it's goodbye.

I love you.

He looks back at the apartment, at the shadows of Tyson and Percy and Paul eating birthday cake, and he gently pulls away.

I am honored by that love. You always have, and always will have mine, but you deserve more. Paul is more than worthy of you, my beloved. Let him make you as happy as you should be.

She cannot deny him that wish. While she does witness the battle and the aftermath and the rebuilding of Olympus, she also lets herself love Paul as much as she loved Poseidon.

She deserves it.
