Hey guys! I'm really sorry I'm not paying more attention to my other stories. I assure you they are all still running and will eventually be finished. This is probably not a good idea since I already have four published stories running and a few more one-shots and series in progress...but I can't help it ok? :P I have another Broadchurch crossover waiting as well, but when I started this one it just...happened. The first few chapters are written but I'm not going to upload them just yet as I've just started the busiest year of school so far for me and although this is very important, I do need to focus on my studies a little bit this year :P

Please tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Doctor Who or Broadchurch even though they are both absolutely brilliant.

Three months had passed since the Doctor had left Rose and his clone on the beach to start their life together. What the Doctor didn't realise was that his clone didn't have long to live. Rose buried him only two weeks after the Doctor had left them, and she hadn't looked back since. That was how she found herself packing her bags to move away from the city. Work was no longer a distraction, but more of a painful reminder of the past. The Doctor thought she was safe and happy, but he couldn't be more wrong. Sure she wasn't unsafe; she had money, a job whenever she felt like it, and the world's most protective mother, but the one thing she didn't have was the Doctor and that made her feel vulnerable, like she had no one to catch her if she fell.

The car trip wasn't as long as she thought it would be, and she soon arrived in the small town of Broadchurch. She searched for a place that was small and distant, but not too far away if she had to return. Her driver opened the car door for her and she stepped out onto the track, her dog Mika rushing after her. Mika was given to her for her birthday her previous year and was an enormous golden Labrador.

Rose watched her disappear down the hill in a flash of gold, heading for the beach. She laughed and ran after her, leaving her driver to start bringing her things inside the new house. When Rose finally reached the sand and kicked off her shoes, Mika had already been in the water and was now running full pelt towards a man standing on the beach. Rose felt the dread settle in her stomach as Mika leapt up and tackled the man, knocking him to the ground and licking his face.

She ran towards them, yelling at Mika who soon backed off. She then leant down and offered the man a hand up. When he looked up at her, her heart nearly stopped. It wasn't the Doctor, because it couldn't be, he was gone and the universe walls were sealed. For all she knew he could have regenerated by now. As her thoughts wandered, the man gripped onto her hand and watched her with a raised eyebrow. "Sorry" she murmured, pulling him up "And I'm sorry about my dog, she's just a bit excited".

He watched her for a moment before giving her a nod and a tight smile. Definitely not the Doctor. He then proceeded to walk up the beach, without a second glance. "Hey" she called out after him and he slowed, allowing her time to catch up "I didn't get your name".

He turned to her and watched her for a moment "I didn't give it. Do you give your name to everyone whose dog knocks you over?" he spoke in a Scottish accent.

"I said I was sorry" she murmured "but no, I hardly give my name to anyone".

"Then that is something we can have in common" he continued to walk "Good day Miss".

Rose stared after the man who looked like her Doctor. The resemblance was uncanny but he was definitely not the man she loved. He was gruff and Scottish and...well, rude. 'No difference there' she laughed to herself.

Calling to Mika she made her way back up the hill and over to where her car and the moving truck were waiting for her. In the distance she could see the lines of houses, a bit further away than the little cabin she had purchased. Apparently the owner couldn't bear to keep it after a young boy had been strangled inside it, but it was no longer a crime scene and the crime had long been solved. The cabin was cosy and surprisingly spacious compared to what it looked on the outside. She thought of the TARDIS being bigger-on-the-inside and her heart clenched. She shook her head a little and set to work making the place as homey as she could. She had very few decorations she really liked and had bought herself, but Pete had taken the liberty of getting her furniture along the lines of her bedroom back at the manor. She unpacked Mika's bed and filled her bowl with water. Things were going to be fine; she didn't need the Doctor to have a good life. Wasn't that what he had told her anyway? To have a fantastic life, the one adventure he could never have.

Then she had already found enough to interest her in the town. The place containing a Doctor doppelganger was enough to keep her interested, even if he pulled at her heartstrings. He was different enough from the Doctor not to cause her too much pain and just enough like him to spark her interest.

By the time the sun was setting she fed Mika and went for a walk through the streets of her new town. She soon found a small café/bar that looked friendly enough. She walked inside and sat at the bar; ignoring the curious looks she was getting for most of the other customers. Surely they didn't all know who she was. Although she had, had her fair share of publicity she tried to keep out of the spotlight as much as possible. Things got too painful when anyone asked her about dating or what happened to that handsome young man who she had been seen with for a little while, so she kept out of it and only occasionally made public appearances. Nevertheless she was well loved by the public. She had set up a charity to get rid of some of the unnecessary money Pete had forced on her when she had first arrived.

After ordering a glass of red wine and sitting down to a nice meal Rose heard the door open and looked up the see the strange man Mika had knocked over on the beach. She automatically went back to her meal and tried to ignore him. Of course having someone looking that much like the Doctor would attract her attention, and almost every time she looked up she would see him looking at her. This both excited her and irritated her to the point that she had to leave, not being able to bear his scrutiny any longer.

She felt his eyes follow her as she approached the counter to pay for her drink and meal. She smiled politely at the woman serving her and handed over the money to pay for the meal and a generous tip for the great food and fantastic service. She turned to leave and offered the man a small smile, earning nothing but and intrigued sort of frown back. That night she had very little sleep and ended up sitting in bed reading with Mika curled beside her. When she finally did manage to fall asleep however, her dreams were haunted with images of that man. She would be walking into the TARDIS and the Doctor would be standing with his back to her, but when he turned around he would have floppy hair, a cold stare and a Scottish accent when he spoke to her, telling her he didn't know her.

So? First real try at a crossover, how'd I go? Please let me know :) Thanks for your continued support on my other stories also.
