"So," the Doctor turned to his black-masked companion as they sat in their cell, "What's your name, then?"

The cell, like the rest of the world, was a bland off-white paint that reminded the Doctor very much of sitting around a motor vehicle registration room. Bland. His companion's pants and top (as the law enforcement that had captured them provided him with a top upon their capture) seemed to almost blend in with the background. There were no bars in these cells, but plates of thick plastic keeping them from the guards and the prisoners.

The Doctor sat on the cold tile floor with his back against the side of the plastic, looking at the mask in his hand. It was black, but in all other ways identical to the beige masks all the ordinary people around the city wore. It completely covered the head, stretching around the skull with a hard face and black-tinted glass eyes. When he wore it, the only way he could tell himself apart from his fellow prisoners was that he wore a blue suit instead of the pale clothes of everyone else.

'You should put that back on,' the boy said, 'They'll mark you twice for it. It's the law.' )

Summary: The War affected everyone, whether the Time Lords knew it or not.
Author's Notes: Written for TM, for this prompt: "The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so thoroughly lost, that they might never have existed in the first place." The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, by Michael Chabon.. Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ambitious_woman for beta.

"Everything vanishes," the man's voice only just carried above the howling wind from the top of the building on which they stood, "You say their name over and over and it gets quieter and quieter. It is, eventually, as if they never existed."

"You don't have to do this."

But, I do. Don't you see? There's nothing left. No stars. No names. Just voices getting quieter and quieter. )

Part 4/?
Author: rude_not_ginger
Fandom: Doctor Who / Torchwood
Pairing: The Doctor (Ten)/Suzie Costello
Word Count: 1,947
Rating: R for sexuality
Summary: The Doctor follows a human weakness, and it leads him to Torchwood, yet again.
Author's Notes: So sorry this part took so insanely long to get out, I had a lot on my RL and RP mind. =( The next parts shouldn't take so long! This wound up becoming a bit of a re-write of the dreadfully bland Quatermass Experiment, since it had a great concept but very poor execution (in my opinion!), and was the initial inspiration for this ficlet series.
Other Parts: Part One, Part Two, Part Three

PART FOUR

He lets Suzie slip from his grip and slide towards the stairs, away from him. Back into Torchwood, into the things that she understands.  )

Fandom: Doctor Who / Torchwood
Pairing: The Doctor (Ten)/Suzie Costello
Word Count: 2,238
Rating: R for sexuality
Summary: The Doctor follows a human weakness, and it leads him to Torchwood, yet again.
Author's Notes: Ph33r my lack of a Suzie-voice beta. I may end up retouching this, to improve upon that. I'm a bit bummed out that this part can't continue to have the impersonal "he" and "she" of the first two, but there were definitely too many characters to even try that.
Other Parts: Part One; Part Two

PART THREE

The lift beneath them jerks to life, and he can't help but stare in awe as the step itself slides downwards . )
