I've had this story idea in my mind for some time and wanted to write another 7th Doctor/Ace story. This is a work in progress, but I will do my best to update this story as regularly as possible. I hope you all will enjoy it :)
The Doctor had finally found her after three days of being away from her, due to circumstances that had spiraled beyond his control. He never should have brought them to Mycenae. It was foolish of him to assume that just because the Tardis had landed them at the dawn of the planet's 24th century, the planet's inhabitants would've finally achieved the peace they had worked so hard for during the war ravaged years of the prior century. He thought he had known the planet's history so well, that he and Ace would be safe during the time period they had arrived in. Something, though, had changed the course of Mycenae's history, something he was not even aware of until he and Ace had stepped out of the Tardis.
By that point, they had been swept up in the on rush of thousands of protesters and had become separated. Now, as he and Ace embraced each other, holding onto each other desperately as if afraid something would separate them again, he finally felt his hearts and mind unclench from the relentless fear and stress he had been enduring. He felt Ace shaking and sobbing, finally able to release the immense fear and stress she had endured during her time away from him. He ran his hand comfortingly down her hair, kissed her forehead, and murmured in her ear, "I've got you, Ace. You're safe now."
After a few minutes, her shaking and sobbing began to subside. Still holding onto each other, they looked into each other's eyes, drinking in the sight of each other. "I almost lost hope and never thought I'd see you again," Ace said in a slightly hoarse voice, emotion making it crack slightly.
"No matter what happens, I'll always find you, Ace," the Doctor replied in what he hoped sounded like a reassuring voice. In the back of his mind though, he realized how close he came this time to losing her forever. He tried to give a reassuring smile, but he couldn't keep the uncertainty entirely out of his eyes. To avoid looking into her eyes, he embraced her again.
He then focused his mind on their main problem. They were trapped on this planet. The Tardis was back in the main capitol of Meyna and they were in a recently abandoned house, somewhere in the countryside, Rassilon knew how many hundreds of miles from the capitol. This problem, though, he knew he could solve. He had been in far worse situations than this. It may take some time, but he knew they'd make it back to the Tardis. The secondary problem was the one that was giving him pause and making him second guess his very nature. It was just he and Ace, alone, in the middle of nowhere, being reunited after days of stress and fear for each others safety, feeling immense relief at being reunited, embracing each other tightly, and for the first time in centuries, he was in love. Rassilon help him, he was in love with Ace.
