Disclaimer: ...With my freeze ray I will STOP the world/with my freeze ray I will find the time to find the words to/tell you how/how I don't/ own Doctor Who (I've been listening to Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog too much...)
A/n: Challenge time! I'm going to make references to season/series 1,2,3, and 5 (because there aren't any daleks in s6, and the entire story is already in s4) and you all (or y'all if you feel like reading in an American Southern accent, which is always a fun alternative and I might start doing) get to find them!
Spoilers: Basically all of The Stolen Earth/Journey's End. This Spoiler Alert will last until the end of the fic. If you have not finished s4, do not read this, because there will be Spoilers. You have been warned.

He knows the moment She breaks free, can feel it in his mind like a beam of sunlight. She showed him sunlight, always shows his kind sunlight. Sunlight is everything, changes everything, gives everything a new birth, and She brings it to him. It makes him wonder if the Creator ever saw sunlight, if he would be as he is if he had.
He can feel the havoc She wreaks like fire on his skin, endless flames against the cold and dark presence of the Creator. It hurts, but kind of a good hurt. In his mind's eye he can imagine her, shining and golden as She eradicates the others who seek to destroy reality.
The others, who seek to destroy the man She loves.
His kind has never understood the concept of love, but they have learned to recognize the biological and mental responses it produced in the life forms that felt it. Rapid breathing, increased heart rate, the foolish urge to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the ones they loved. The other daleks see love as a weakness and their lack of it as another way in which they are superior. Only one ever felt differently, and he was destroyed.
But Her…from the first She exhibited these biological indicators of the emotion called love, and yet because of it She has become strong enough to eliminate his entire species. Because of Her love She is superior to the daleks, and that is incomprehensible to them. Even now, even after being enlightened, the idea of the power of Her love is impossible to grasp.
The Creator speaks to his captives, gloating about his plans, and speaks once again of the prophecies that have been fed to him. They are lies, the prophecies, lies that She gave to him to tell the Creator so he would bring the Doctor and the Children of Time to this place, at this time. She made this moment, and he is only her instrument to command as She pleases. She has revealed the universe to him in a way that he never imagined possible for all, and for that he will follow Her and do Her will forever.
So for now he promises the Creator a universe filled with daleks, a universe where he rules over all, a universe where no one may stand against him. He promises a time of ending, then laughs because that part, at least, is true…

A/n: Awww, Caan has a crush on Bad Wolf...sort of...a little bit...in a creepy psycho-I-would-destroy-the-world-if-you-asked-me-to kind of way but all's well that ends well, right? Okay, so y'all don't know how this ends, so I guess that's a bad use of the phrase, but I know the ending and I'll tell you now, Rose and Caan do not go galloping off into the sunset on a rainbow unicorn...and now I want to write a crack fic where that actually happens…this is going to be a problem.
Review please! (I couldn't think of any witty way to ask, and I do love hearing your thoughts on the story. Seriously, reviews are like skittles, fluffy kittens, and British television all rolled into a ball and tied together with sparkly wrapping paper and ribbons for me.)
