For londonspook who asked for Lucas, Ros and drowning. Set at an indeterminate time in series 7.

. . .

This is the only life she knows and it has broken her time and again. There are days when it's all she can do to keep her head above water, but she is determined that the depression that consumed Adam will not destroy her too.

She finds herself seeking out Lucas' company now and wonders why she is drawn to damaged men. She thinks it may be a reflection of her own fractured soul. The simple truth is that she understands brokenness; it is normal people who baffle her.

She doesn't think she can even remember what normalcy was like.
