Drabble: Daddy Issues
Fic: Daddy Issues
Author: wmr
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Pete Tyler
Rated: G
Spoilers: S1, S2
Disclaimer: They're not mine. I'm just borrowing them
Summary: He wants to give her the one thing she's always dreamed of.
Daddy Issues
He tries in 1987. He fails. Her father still dies. But it wouldn’t have worked; he’d have given her a father, but her parents a divorce.
In another universe, he tries again, against his better judgement. This time, her mum dies. Pete rejects her. It’s for the best; he’d have given her a father, but without a mother.
At Canary Wharf, he tries again. Third time lucky, perhaps; this time he can give her both parents. Again, he fails.
After she’s saved from the Void, he understands. It was never his gift to give. It was Pete’s right to choose.
