Whoo! Here you go, my darlings, my second contribution to Femslash February! This one is sort of, kind of, maybe a songfic so take it however you will! Read and enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Doctor Who or any of these characters, because they all belong to BBC. This song also does not belong to me because it's written by a fella named Alex Sierra.

This one is dedicated to my good friend/ex-girlfriend Angeles, who is simply all kinds of amazing! Love you!

Prompt: Jenny sings to Vastra/Jenny comforts Vastra

Some people say that time can heal all wounds, but those people are liars. No amount of time, not even centuries, will ever be enough to erase the enduring pain of losing the ones you love. This was especially true for Vastra, who is still haunted by the deaths of her sisters all those years ago.

Vastra and Jenny were sound asleep one night as a heavy storm raged outside with thunder and lightening, all perfect conditions for a nightmare to ensue.

It started with troubled fits and mumblings, then before she could even comprehend anything, Vastra was suddenly transported back in time to that terrible night, the night that her life changed forever. For a brief moment, Vastra was back in her underground hibernation chamber again. She caught fleeting glimpses of her sisters, each sleeping in their own hibernation chambers. An onslaught of emotions immediately set upon Vastra, because she had forgotten what her sisters looked like. They all looked so beautiful, peaceful, and blissful in that moment as they slept which left Vastra utterly in awe. It only lasted for a few seconds before being blown away by a fiery and violent explosion right before her eyes. Vastra could only watch in horror as her sisters were gone in an instant, leaving her alone once again. She heard human voices from somewhere in the distance.

Vastra's vision became nothing but red as extreme and powerful rage overcame her entire body. Her heart is pumping with increased adrenaline, blood turning into liquid fire as it rushed through her veins. Nothing mattered anymore except for her all-consuming desire to seek vengeance for her sisters' deaths, which she could only accomplish by killing as many filthy apes as possible. So releasing a mighty Silurian battle roar, Vastra quickly launched herself into action and began attacking the humans with reckless ferocity. The terrified prey all screamed and fled at the sight of the fearsome Silurian warrior and her sword like the cowards they are. How pathetic and pointless! There was absolutely no escape from Vastra's murderous wrath; they were all doomed. It was simply too easy for Vastra to slice through their ranks as if they were nothing but wheat. She will not stop until every single last one of them is dead at her feet.

It just continued to escalate from there, all the events were happening so fast it became impossible to keep up with them.

Vastra singlehandedly executing a massacre of tremendous proportions.

Pleading cries of the victims filled the air, only to fall on deaf ears.

Blood. God, there was so much blood, the bright red liquid coating Vastra from head to toe.

Innocent lives were lost, nobody was spared.

Death.

Destruction.

Fire.

Chaos.

Revenge.

Monster.

Everything kept spinning out of control until…

It finally ended.

The nightmare finally ended with Vastra shooting up, wide awake in a cold sweat, screaming and shouting in incomprehensible Silurian.

Jenny, who instead of sleeping had been awake to keep a watchful eye on Vastra for the past several minutes, promptly reacted by throwing her arms around the frantic Silurian.

"Vastra, calm down! It's me, Jenny, I'm not going to hurt you! It was just a nightmare, it's not real! You're safe now, Vastra….please trust me, you're safe now. Safe." Jenny kept repeating that over and over again, hoping that it would be enough to pacify Vastra.

Fortunately, the familiar sound of Jenny's voice actually succeeded in snapping Vastra out of her traumatic trance. Vastra then melted within her wife's embrace and was quickly reduced to a trembling emotional mess, sobbing and moaning into Jenny's warm bosom. What an uncanny sight it was, a human cradling a full grown Silurian! Jenny didn't seem to mind one bit, having gotten used to it already, and continued to console her wife with soothing words and gentle caresses along her crests. These nightmares were nothing new, but they always took a heavy toll on Vastra and Jenny's heart broke each time she had to see her wife suffer like this.

Jenny understood that even the toughest, bravest Silurian warriors were capable of breaking down sometimes. She was the only one that Vastra allowed herself to be vulnerable around after trying to be strong for so long. She has always been there to support Vastra during both her best and worst of times. Vastra relied on Jenny to be her lifeline whenever her inner demons returned to drag her back into that dark, hellish pit of suffering and grief.

Tonight was no different.

For the next ten minutes or so, no sound could heard apart from that of Vastra crying. When she was finally able to stop, Vastra spoke in a very low voice,"I'm sorry, Jenny…. for causing you to wake up when you should be getting the necessary rest you deserve."

Vastra sounded so defeated, hopeless, miserable...so unlike her usual self, that Jenny nearly burst into tears herself.

She didn't though, because she knew that she had to be the rock for Vastra to lean on. She replied, "Nonsense, my darling lizard! How could you ever expect me to just sleep knowing that you are in distress? I'd much prefer to stay awake all night taking care of you than sleeping."

The corners of Vastra's mouth twitched to form a weary smile, as she could feel a heavy weight being lifted off her heart by Jenny's words. She raised her head so that she could look at Jenny's face and said,"You're too good for me, you know that? What would I ever do without you, my dear?"

"There's really no need to thank me...I love you, Vastra, and I'll always be here for you no matter what,"proclaimed Jenny while returning a kind smile of her own. "Now, how about you and me go take a long, refreshing bath to forget about that old nightmare?"

Vastra nodded in agreement to the suggestion.

Soon, they were both out of bed and in the bathtub, with Vastra sitting between Jenny's legs, back pressed against the front of Jenny's body, and her head resting upon Jenny's firm bosom. It was a tradition for them to take a bath together after every time Vastra had a nightmare, where they would soak and let the cool water wash away all their troubles. No nightmares, no grief, no deaths, there was only merciful bliss and the warmth of each others' company.

"Feeling better yet, my love?"Inquired Jenny, placing a soft kiss on Vastra's bare shoulder.

"Mmmm," hummed Vastra contentedly which Jenny took as a 'yes'. She then opened one eye and added, "Though, I would prefer if you could perhaps...sing for me?"

Vastra had caught Jenny singing to herself on many occasions and kept telling her how beautiful her voice is, but alas Jenny was far too modest to ever acknowledge it.

Jenny responded with another kiss, this one on the lips, before proceeding to sing, "Little do you know how I'm breaking while you fall asleep...Little do you know I'm still haunted by the memory…Little do you know I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece...Little do you know I need a little more time…"

Clara had actually introduced them to this song, among other things from the future, and it has became one of their favorites. It's depressing, yet hopeful at the same time and Jenny felt like it perfectly resembled their current situation. So Jenny and Vastra remained that way for the rest of the night, letting Jenny's melodious voice carry them toward dawn.

I'll wait, I'll wait

I love you like you've never felt the pain, I'll wait

I promise you don't have to be afraid, I'll wait

The love you see right here stays so lay your head on me

Because little do you know

I'll love you till the sun dies

So yeah, I just had sooooo many Jenny/Vastra feels while listening to this song and knew I had to write this ASAP! I might need to start making a playlist for Jenny/Vastra. I also love the idea of Jenny and Vastra sitting in a bathtub together and not just for sexual reasons haha. I might or might not have cried a little writing, but you can blame all the angstiness for that. I don't write angst very often, nor do I like writing it, but my inspiration was very strong for this chapter! So I guess that's it for now, gotta get started on my next story because I have all these random plot bunnies that are just bursting in my head to be written. Please leave a review and I'll love you forever! :D
