A/N This is my first fanfiction of any kind, so feel free to let me know if there are any errors, problems with characterization, etc.

Enjoy!
The TARDIS watched helplessly as her thief slid down the wall, overcome with grief. She knew what had happened-a surviving Weeping Angel had sent Rory back in time, out of the TARDIS's reach, and Amy had voluntarily followed, unwilling to be separated from her husband.
The Doctor and River had been distraught, of course, and the TARDIS had felt her own pain. Amy and Rory had been part of her family in a way, too. All of the Doctor's companions had.
River had gone off to have her own adventures, leaving the Doctor alone. No, not alone, he had her, his TARDIS, Sexy, whatever ridiculous name he thought up for her. She was still here, like she had always been.
She hummed her comfort, sending waves of love and warmth to her thief, filling him with her company.
You are not alone, Doctor, she tried to say, but she could not talk in words. He smiled anyway, understanding her intent.
"Thank you, Old Girl." He told her, getting to his feet slowly. She could feel his sadness and hummed quietly in concern.
"I'll be alright, just give me some time." He murmured, and she whirred happily. Her thief needed time to heal, and that was fine with her.
She adjusted the lights and began to rearrange rooms, feeling restless at her inability to do more to comfort him. There was something else nagging her, somewhere or sometime they needed to go...
She had a strange urge to go to Victoria London.
But as she watched her thief move slowly around her console, she decided that it could wait. Her Doctor needed some time to take care of himself, instead of dashing around helping and saving everyone else. She would take care of him as well, the way she always had.
She sent him her love and he smiled through his tears, patting the console gently. She felt his gratitude seep through their telepathic connection and she hummed softly.
Despite the trouble they might land in, she would always be there for the Doctor, just as she knew he would always be there for her. The TARDIS and her thief, travelling through time and space together.
Always together.
