Don't Tell Me if It's a Tragedy (prompt "ignorance is bliss", post 'Five Doctors')
-
The Doctor rubbed his face, adjusting to the timestream shifting. The Death Zone debacle had ended satisfyingly enough, but he was shocked, nay – horrified at his own future. Why had he felt Jamie and Zoe shouldn't be there, shouldn't remember him? Why had he been reduced to a mere Earth vehicle, so restricted? What in the world induced him to pick companions like that, to dress like that, to be that?
"Doctor?"
Jamie's voice.
He grabbed for the connection to wipe his memory, before confusion and dissonance tore him apart, before he worried his friends. Sometimes ignorance was most definitely bliss.
