Hello there, everyone. I don´t exactly know how this came up to me, but the plotbunny wouldn´t let go of me. So, here is this little piece of work. I hope you like it. Not the first JE-fix it ever written and surely not the last, but hopefully a bit different from the others.

Um, the chapters won´t be long because I don´t have very much time to write but I don´t want to keep you waiting for long. I hope you can deal with that.

Title: In Flux

Spoilers: Journey´s End

Summary: The Time Lord Victorious is the one the laws of time have to obey. He is absolutely certain of that. He will change history. He will save the woman he loved. At any cost.

Warnings: This will probably contain a teensy bit (*cough cough*) of angst. Oh, and it´s Doctor/ Donna btw. You should know that, I guess.

Disclaimer: If I owned Doctor Who, Donna would have had a happy ending (with the Doctor…)

Prologue

Time is in flux. Time has always been in flux. And it will forever be. Because Time is never constant. History is not set in stone. Time is not a strict progression of cause to effect. Some points are fixed, but the most are in flux. Like a bride from Chiswick or a family from Pompeii.

Not what we say defines us but what we do. It is not important how much time we got but what we do with the time that is given to us. Some people do more good in forty years than others in eighty. But some of us get more time than anyone else. Maybe we use the time for ourselves. Maybe we use the time to travel. Maybe we use the time to save worlds. Maybe all comes hand in hand with each other.

Maybe. Maybe is a mighty word. Maybe someone can save six billion people, maybe said someone can´t. Maybe someone can stop himself from destroying a world, maybe someone can´t. Maybe someone finds the courage to change something for the better, maybe someone can´t. Maybe is the key to happiness or devastation. Maybe holds the might to save someone or to doom everyone. Maybe is one of the most powerful words in existence.

Good and bad are opposites. But not always. Often someone means it well and does bad things in the same moment. Good and bad don´t exclude each other. Without bad there would be no good. Good and bad are necessary for each other. Where is much light, the shadow goes deep. But after every rain the sun returns. Good is as important as bad. The one could not exist without the other. And sometimes – even more often than we want to believe – good and bad are the same.

Destiny is a mythos. Does it really exist? Are some events destined to happen? Are some people destined to live? Are some people destined to change something? No one holds the answer to this, not even the wisest of us. Many people say that they don´t believe in destiny. Nevertheless some people seem to be meant to do something great.

Even the smallest of us can change something if they want to. The small things can have the biggest effect. Like turning left instead of right. Or a single lost memory. Every decision closes some doors and opens several others. But a door once closed can just hardly be re-opened. You never know what would have happened, what could be. Even if we dislike what happened, it is difficult to change the past. And you can´t say whether it will become better or worse. Yet we want to change so much. And some can.

The bravest and best people can do something really good. Even when they seem to be or to do something bad, they could do something good with it. Because some of us might be destined to do something good.

Some of us are destined to change something. Even time. Because time is always in flux. Maybe time can be rewritten. But for better or for worse? Only time can tell. And time is in flux. Always.

So, do you like the beginning? Please review, it´s like learning that 'Much ado about nothing' with DT and CT as Benedick and Beatrice is available on digital theatre
