In MY Post 4x13 Fanfic...

In MY post-4x13 fanfic (that I'm certainly not writing, lol)

I'd have the Doctor going batshit insane and taking Rose with him.

Think about it. What was his reaction to having one heart? It was "ew."

Why did he have to wipe Donna's memory? Cause there's never been a human/Time Lord metacrisis hybrid whatever and it wasn't a good idea after all. And you know the Doctor, he's "always okay." Even with being part human? Uh huh. Right. Keep telling yourself that.

He's separated from his TARDIS, too. I can't quite get past that one either. Isn't the TARDIS, like, his best friend in the universe? He'd lose it for sure.

Tell me you'd rather read THAT than the same exact Bad Wolf Bay scene over and over again with slightly different dialogue/

No, I think he'd cope and be fine in the long run. It won't be a totally smooth path for both the Doctor and Rose, but even if they don't have a TARDIS (which I stick to the cut scene that they do), there are a million adventures they can still have together. They don't have to sit around and be domestic, and don't think they would. I don't see why he wouldn't be okay, and I think we're intended to assume he would be. He' not alone, the thing he hates being most in the world. I think he can learn to deal with the unpleasant side effects if it means he'll never be alone again.

He had to wipe Donna's memory because she physically could not handle having the Time Lord mind in her human brain. It had nothing to do with whether clone Doctor was a good idea or not.

It's really a shame they cut that scene. I want to know which part of the TARDIS can seed a new one. And I want to know how long the process is supposed to take - I was under the impression that it took hundreds of years.

I'm sure we are intended to assume the Doctor will be okay, and I'm also sure we aren't supposed to think he and Rose lived happily ever after with a picket fence and 2.5 kids and all that, I'm just having a hell of a time wrapping my head around the Doctor being okay with being part human. He's been so conditioned to think certain things are "wrong," like, oh, a fixed point in time, a man who can't die, who's to say he's not reacting the same way to himself? (Of course, this is completely ignoring the fact that the Doctor is supposedly already half human, according to the movie... because apparently Eight made that up or something... or someone somewhere along the line decided to pretend that was never said...)

See, the other fangirls write out their little fantasies of the Doctor and Rose getting to know each other all over again, and stuff like that. This fangirl fantasizes about the Doctor and Rose driving each other up a wall and a half.

And this is why I read it, and don't write it.
