okay but now that we know Fourteen lives a domestic fantasy with Donna (and co) living his best life and starting to heal from all his ptsd...
it starts with talking about the toymaker.
"Doctor. you never answered my question. all those things the Toymaker said, were they true?"
the Doctor, after much hesitation, breaking down, finally, finally.
talking about Amy and all the adventures they shared. how she was another sassy redhead who kept him in line when he needed it. how she died of old age with her husband but was so horribly ripped from him.
talking about River Song, the woman Donna met only once, the woman who died for the Doctor. talking about how he discovered their lives together and thus lived it. about how they were married and about how many goodbyes they had to face.
talking about Clara, the impossible girl, who dragged him out of his sulking, who kept him going, who was like him. talking about the hybrid and the billions of years he spent in the confession dial just to bring her back to life. how he had to forget her or else he would have never stopped.
talking about Bill, the girl who questioned everything, things no one ever thought to ask. who had the best smile and a crush and was so so brave, up until the end. who lived on in a different way.
talking about Yaz, the girl he fell in love with while he was a woman, the girl who saw the Doctor in ways she didn't want to be seen. the girl she pushed away because it hurt too much.
finally talking about the Flux. about how half the universe died. how he never ever really belonged. about how he doesn't know where he's from, not really. about how the not-things taunted him with his memories.
and Donna listens. she listens, and asks, and weeps. she holds him as he cries.
"It's not your fault," she tells him. "you did the best you could.
"i know," he cries, echoing what he said at the edge of the universe, when he thought it was her. "I know, but it hurts."
and they let it hurt. they let it hurt, raw, broken, until the sun sets and the air cools and Shaun knocks on the door of the tardis to tell them Sylvia made tuna madras again.
the next day Donna asks about Adric.
and he tells her.
he tells her about Adric, Logopolis, the time key, the Master. he tells her all the things that he's been running from.
and they weep. and they breathe. and together, the Doctor heals.
