BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

A/N: I know I'm probably the only person in the whole universe who likes this pairing, but I don't mind - this story doesn't really have any romance in it. I know that human/monster pairings don't really work. But if you find the pairing disgusting, it's probably in the way that I find the Lord of the Rings pairing of Eowyn/Wormtounge disgusting. Because c'mon, Eowyn and Wormtounge? Now that is wrong.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Description: A series of ficlets covering the events of "The Doctor's Daughter". Martha/Hath Peck pairing.


His Angel

Hath Peck first met her amongst the dust and the rubble, deep below the surface of the planet Messaline.

During a brief and bloody scrap with the humans, the grime encrusted walls of the tunnel crashed down around them, sending him tumbling to the ground. A searing pain shot through his arm, and he pressed it to his chest, cradling it as he rocked to and fro where he lay. The pain clawed at his arm like a ravenous beast.

Then she came to him. An angel in the middle of a living hell.

She was different from the others. She wore strange apparel, and was unarmed. A friend among killers.

The woman kneeled by him, and placed her hands gently upon his shoulder. "I've got you." She tended to him, even when threatened by his brothers. She withstood the danger; she stayed with him. She healed him.

Martha Jones was her name. A human, but not an enemy. She was a lady of kindness.

Martha, his savior. His friend.

His beautiful angel.
