Ugh. Booooooored out of my mind here.

I feel bad; usually my fics have more detail and characterization... This is probably the worst, most outlandish fic I've ever written, but I just saw that Shaun Temple has no fics written about him, and realized how bland a character he is. So, here's my DRAMATIC-ISH take on him.

I own nothing, drat.

##

Why was he so ignored? How did he blend into the tiniest, simplest corner of Chiswick so easily?

Because he was hiding.

Who was Shaun Temple? Nobody knew. In the year 2017, the young couple Connor and Abby Temple became the foster guardians of a young boy found with only the clothes on his back and a fob watch about his neck. They raised him and took care of him from a child.

Connor and Abby worked at an organization known as the Anomaly Research Centre; as the boy, whom they named Shaun, grew, they slowly integrated him within the ARC community. At eighteen, he began to work full-time as a scientist there. Then, the ARC fell.

The cause of its end was officially undisclosed due to sensitive information, but it was the result of a terrorist struggle. Renegade extremists obtained control of anomaly-opening devices, and by the time they were contained, the ARC was shut down by the government for its dangerous nature. All employees were ordered to cease and desist their operations, though few did so willingly. When Shaun, who had been leading the field team and refused to suspend operations, became Undesirable Number 1, he knew he had to flee but only decided how when he came to face the anomaly.

The voiced of his comrades were behind him, pleading with him not to go, but he leaped in just as the anomaly closed. At first he feared they'd open the anomaly, either to stop or to follow him; however, the light was gone, and he began his journey.

Anomalies were easy enough to find and open with his device, and soon he'd passed through hundreds, almost running out of his mind as he went. He had needed escape, but he'd needed people around him as well. Alone, he was certainly going mad, for he heard a voice beside him, almost as though it had come from his fob watch.

Finally he discovered it: an anomaly leading to the year 2005. He found his feet here; got a job, and soon, met the beautiful woman who would become his wife, Donna Noble. The government wouldn't be looking for him for years.

He was finally safe, and content to sit in the shadows.

I might work further on it, if you ask me to…don't hold your breath, though. I've still got a million and one other things pending…
