EPIGRAPH
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
FULL SUMMARY:
Aurora Langley was always a firm believer in out of sight, out of mind, but when a strange encounter with a tall man in a brown pinstripe suit ends rather quickly with the man seemingly never returning, she finds she can't forget it or him. For as much as he was out of her sight, he still plagued her mind day and night. But, finally, on the day a mysterious earthquake suddenly hit the east coast, she would get the chance to find out why.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hello! I'm from Stephanie or kissuponthelips, and I'm so excited to be finally writing Remain Nameless. This is an idea that has been on my mind for years now and I could never find the time to write it until now. Aurora, and who she'll become/end up being, has captivated me from the moment I started watching Doctor Who a few years ago and came back when I delved into Classic Who territory about two years ago.
Aurora is incredibly special to me and most of her character is drawn from me. Her manners, reactions, and feelings are mostly, if not completely, mine. She's someone that I've let into my brain and she's never going to leave until I tell her (extremely long) story. For now, I have only planned Aurora's story in Ten's era, but Eleven's era keeps bugging me and I probably will continue this on until S7? Maybe? I still have to think about the longevity of this story and what I want to do with it.
Regardless of whether or not this story moves past Ten's era or ends with Ten, I hope you enjoy Aurora and her story. A little hint for you, Classic Who is very important. Also, just so everyone knows, this is, hopefully, going to be an incredibly slow story in terms of the relationship between Aurora and Ten. I love slow burns and to me, Aurora isn't someone who jumps head first into things and neither is Ten. Aurora's backstory is also an incredibly important thing that defines the relationship between her and The Doctor and in general, just defines who Aurora is and why she is the way she is.
If you want to read this on a different site, I have my AO3 linked in my profile! On AO3, you can read the tags I have for this story and you can learn more about the story or. maybe, think about what you can expect from the story due to the tags.
I hope you all enjoy!
