OMG Doctor Who... Why did I not start watching this show sooner.
ROSE x DOCTOR is OTP forever!
This story will follow Rose as she meets all the Doctors and learns to love all of them before finding her Doctor once more.
It might not follow Canon so much - though it is just sooooo perfect that she got the Metacrisis Doctor to grow old with - but when Matt Smith's Doctor and Peter Capaldi's Doctor is introduced, canon plot will have happened enough to make references to canon characters, including the Ponds, River, Clara, and the Metacrisis 10th Doctor.
Oh boy...writing her with his older actor versions...and the 1st Doctor with Susan...oh this is going to be sooooo much fun.
Smut ensues in Chapter 5 starting with the 5th Doctor, though there is some steamy making out/snogging with the first few Doctors before that too.
Prologue
She had been in the parallel universe for some time now. Ask an agent, and they could tell you exactly how long to the day, but ask Rose, and she could never tell you. The blonde never glanced at a calendar anymore. When someone talked about a date in the future or past, she paid it no mind. If it wasn't yesterday, tomorrow, or countable days from now, time was meaningless to her. Being away from The Doctor strained her mentally. She remembered, before The Doctor, she would mark a large red 'ex' over days on her monthly calendar as they past. What day it was always mattered: birthdays, holidays, sale days at the mall…
Sure Pete kept her busy at Torchwood – he still refused to have her call him Dad. Though he wasn't truly her real dad, so she understood his lack of wanting of the title, her dad had died in the other dimension, where as in this one, technically she wasn't even born to him. When she was just a baby. The true terror hit her when she slept. Nightmares of The Doctor leaving her on Krop Tor with that Satanist alien monster, the Dalek Emporer, the Slitheen in Parliament…he always seemed to leave her in her nightmares.
"I'm sorry!" He would whimper, or cry, or scream in aguish at her. Sometimes though, he just left with not a word, back turned from her. Completely forgotten. Rose then would wake up screaming, others crying hysterics hyperventilating. When her mom had stayed over with her newly born baby brother the one time, Rose woke to her mother shaking her, voice horse from screaming her name. That's when Pete asked her to start working with the team on the Dimensional Canon to go find him, to find Her Doctor.
Of course, he would have asked her anyway that day. The world was changing, people would talk about stars, that didn't exist, or existed only on paper and no longer in the sky. Then people just began making up stories about stars that never existed. To Rose, whole constellations were missing. They weren't making up stories. She knew those stars existed! Rose would gaze into the sky and could name certain constellations that were completely missing. Her astrological Taurus was missing from the sky, a few of Orion's' stars were still there – well his belt was, and the handles of both the Big and Little Dipper were also missing by this time.
They needed The Doctor. She was the closest thing to a genetic signature they would ever find if they were going to shoot someone across the void to the Doctors current vicinity. Her heart clenched, before it took off and soared at the idea of seeing him again. Jackie would have none of it at first. No way was her daughter doing anything that dangerous. In the end though Rose starting working on the project and Jackie gave way to her daughter, so in love with her Doctor, she would risk her life to get him to rescue the stars that never existed. Rose only could guess after weeks of working on the project why she could remember the missing stars, but no one else.
It was confirmed for her though, when the words, BAD WOLF splayed themselves on her project file for the Dimensional Canon.
"I am the BAD WOLF. I create myself. I take the words and scatter them in time and space. A message to lead myself here."
She had said those words so long ago. Absorbing the Time Vortex from the heart of the TARDIS to become the BAD WOLF to save him, the save the Earth, to save the universe. It had been so long since those words had followed both her and The Doctor everywhere they went, before the words cemented themselves into their minds, in tandem for the future events to proceed as they did.
The project creator said he used characters from his baby girls' fairytale story books for all his projects. Red Riding Hood was the most current, so when he was writing up the formal papers for the council about the Canon, that's what he named it. Project BAD WOLF. Rose had passed out after he explained, waking up seconds later on the floor. The BAD WOLF was still inside her. The Doctor gave his life to take it all from her mind and body, regenerating in the process into his current self. It couldn't be still haunting her. Yet, even here, in this parallel dimension where she didn't belong, it pulled her and The Doctor together. Rose Tyler would make this Canon work. Now that she knew she had the BAD WOLF once again on her side.
Stars kept disappearing, before it was finally done. They tested it on a few small animals before they even considered trying it with a human. Rose demanded to be that human. Extensive testing on genetic signatures was used in their own universe before they sent over a rabbit across the void. It came back 6 hours later, in one piece thankfully, very much alive, and swirling with energy when looked though the Red/Blue lenses of the not forgotten 3D glasses The Doctor had once seen used.
It was her turn after a few more trials to try to get the timing down. 30 minutes. She would go for 30 minutes and be tugged back to this world no matter what happened to her in the other dimension.
The tears that flowed from her mothers eyes would never run dry she imagined, as she readied herself to leave in the locker room. Red sneaks, jeans, and a jumper with a blue leather jacket. She had to leave now or the Canon would never fire on time. Entering the Canon room, her mother ran to her and held her close in the tightest hug she could muster.
"I don't know why you have to go. I don't know why you keep talking about these stars that don't exist!"
"Mom, I 'ave to go! The stars do exist, and they're disappearin'. We need The Doctor. I…need The Doctor."
"He's just a man Rose. There are so many 'ere! Thomas from tech fancies you, even."
"Mom, I'm going!"
"Rose…"
"Let her go, Jackie."
"Stay out of this Pete! You're the one sending 'er to 'er death!"
With belts in place, Rose backed up from her mother, forcing her mothers hands from her shoulders when the women refused to let her go. Once she was a few feet away she took a deep breath. "Hit the switch, Kit."
"ROSE!"
Rose disappeared in swirling gold light.
