I am sorry, this was supposed to go up yesterday. Unfortunately I had a little visitor. If you follow me on Tumblr then you may have already met him as there's a picture up there. His name is Edgar and he's a crow. Basically I was walking home from my walk and saw some students around something on the floor. They're all poking it with a stick and jumping back. I walked over and it was an adult crow, just letting them annoy him. So after watching them scare him into waddling into the road, getting him back onto the pavement, shooing the students away and having a chat about him with a friend that passed by, I picked him up and took him home. He is currently in a box by my bed because I had to check on him during the night and we're taking him down to the vets today.

Anyway, enough with that story and onto another.

1945: Oh, there is. But I don't think you're going to like it.

WhyYesI'mABrit: Oooo you appear to have changed your name. How exciting! I like it. Yes I can imagine her being rather annoyed. And I'm rather glad, after this chapter, that she has no idea where I'll be over the next 4/5 days. How did your exams go Darling?

Dwatlaskrhtcm: Thank you :) I'm in need of something to watch while I exercise over the summer so I may give it a go then. I have heard very good things about it.

Shannon the chameleon: Thank you, that really does mean a lot!

Sonotalady: Ha ha! Don't worry, I'll protect you from the rabid readers. I always find Exams are more draining than difficult. The hours of forced revision, the waiting to go in, the night before when you can hardly sleep. I'm so glad they're over. How do you feel the exams went? Yes I'm afraid you may be right in your fears. *hugs back*

alwaysamarauder16: I think confusion if rife in our little fandom right now but if you're still not sure after this chapter feel free to send me a message and I'll be happy to explain. It's just means I've got too carried away and not explained it properly. If there's one thing I can do well, it's come up with inventive ways to kill people :)

MoodySpark: Yeah things are alright, just sorting out my stuff to go home soon. Looking forward to a nice long break.

Crimson TigerLily: Well she seems to find it somewhat funny although I doubt Fawks sees it the same way. If I know her she's most likely sitting cross legged, elbows on knees and hands under her chin, glaring at a map, trying to work out where the hell I am. I do very much like that idea but no, I can safely reveal that this is our Fawks. :)

When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart
The days keep coming without fail
A new wind is gonna find your sail
That's where your journey starts

Just like the waves down by the shore
We're gonna keep on coming back for more
'Cause we don't ever wanna stop
Out in this brave new world you seek
Oh the valleys and the peaks
And I can see you on the top

Remember me when you're out walkin'
When the snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore

You'll find better love
Strong as it ever was
Deep as the river runs
Warm as the morning sun
Please remember me

Please Remember Me – John Barrowman (originally by Tim McGraw)

'Can we go to a planet next?' The Doctor looked up from the console at his four companions and turned to the red headed girl.

'A planet?'

'Yes, you know a big spherical rock with atmosphere and plants and people and, you know…planety stuff.' He raised his eyebrows at the trail of the sentence but shrugged and nodded.

'I suppose so yes.' He turned quietly and began getting to work on the console. Winter watched everyone sadly from her seat by the console. In her mind she played out every scenario, every possible way she could think of to save Fawks but it all came down to one thing. To save her, she had to leave her. But maybe the man was right. She couldn't lie, she had wondered why it had been so easy to cross from one universe to another but she had put it from her mind. She knew she shouldn't have, if the Doctor couldn't cross to see Rose then why could she cross a different way to see Fawks. In a way she had always hoped the Doctor would figure out a way to explain it but it never seemed to bother him. But perhaps it did. And speaking of the Doctor, could she really do this to him? Fawks was like a daughter to him and this wouldn't just mean cutting herself off from her girlfriend it would mean cutting him out of her life as well. It wasn't fair. 'life never is' she heard repeated in her head.

'Hello? You listening?' She looked up at Amy and whispered.

'Hold on.' Amy frowned but did so just as the TARDIS came to a violent stop. Winter ignored the others and left the TARDIS quietly, she walked over to the trees and pulled out her phone, calling Fawks rather than going to find her.

'Winter? Hey! Where are you? You having fun?'

'Fawks. I need some help. Don't say anything to the others, there are some trees a little bit away to the left of where you are. Come find me, now.' She hung up and waited for the demon to appear. Watching her friends leave the TARDIS and look around for her. A few moments later and Fawks was striding through towards her a seriously worried look on her face, 'Hello Angel.'

'Winter? What's wrong?' Winter shook her head and pulled Fawks into a hug.

'I need you to come with me.'

'Why? Where are we going?'

'Please Win, tell me what's going on.' Winter sighed and wrapped her arm around Fawks' waist as they walked slowly towards the centre of town. Fawks' tail slid conspicuously beneath Winter's coat and looked down expectantly.

'Somebody's playing with my head.' Fawks frowned angrily.

'What do you mean?'

'Someone's forcing me to relive this day over and over again and I've seen groundhog day and the X-files. I'm not going to test how long their patience will last.'

'Oookay, but, let's just say I understand you…' Winter smiled, 'Why would anyone do that to you. What's the point.'

'the universe is collapsing apparently.'

'When isn't it?' Fawks chuckled as they neared the Castle.

'But it's different this time because… this time it's our fault.' Winter bit her lip as she carefully lead her girlfriend closer and closer to the University buildings.

'What, Torchwood?'

'No angel. Us, you and I.'

'What! What have we done?' Winter sighed and leant against her girlfriend hoping to memorise these moments but all the while watching out like a hawk for any danger heading their way.

'This. We meet up. We keep meeting up. And, I can't say I trust this guy whoever he is but I think he has a point. Dimensional travel is almost impossible, the Doctor taught us both that. So why have we been able to switch back and forth between universes like it was nothing?'

'I don't know, maybe someone just likes us.' Winter raised an eyebrow and looked up at her. 'Ok, maybe that's a bit far-fetched.'

'We've been acting based purely on our feelings until now but I think it's time we thought about the effect we're having on the other people in our realities Fawks.'

'What are you saying. Where are we.' Winter sighed and lead Fawks into the Science block of the university and towards the basement door.

'You need to trust me.' Fawks nodded reluctantly and let Winter take her down into the basement and over towards the light on the floor which had grown a few meters since she had last seen it.

'What the hell is that.'

'The rip.' Both women turned to face the mystery man, 'the rip in reality that you two have caused. The rip that you have to fix.' Fawks growled angrily.

'Who the fuck are you?'

'An interested party.'

'And why the hell should we believe you?'

'Because the fate of both universes is in your hands and that includes both of your friends, families, everyone you've ever helped, or met. Believe me and you can go back to your lives as normal. Don't and you condemn everyone and everything to a non-existent future.'

'And you care because?' Fawks crossed her arms and raised her brow at the man, he smiled, unintimidated.

'Oh don't get me wrong, normally I wouldn't care less but believe it or not I actually kind of like this reality. I like the lack of meat pollution, the use of electricity, the piping and the muppets.' Fawks snorted. 'I'd quite like to stay on this plain of existence but if you let it burn I won't be able to now will I.'

'So what's the catch?'

'Us.' Fawks turned to Winter who'd been listening to them patiently up until then.

'What do you mean?'

'We're the catch Fawks. We caused this because we kept flitting across the void like we could control it. But we can't angel, if we do this, if we fix it. The void will heal, but if we keep coming back and forth…it will just break again.'

'So what do you suggest?' Fawks asked angrily. Winter couldn't answer, she stayed silent and looked towards the floor uncomfortably. 'No Winter, ask me anything, anything at all. Not that, no way.' Winter put her hand inside Fawks' coat pocket and shook her head.

'We haven't got a choice angel.'

'Why not? Why the hell do we not get a choice? For once in my life why can't I have a fucking choice.' She screamed.

'Angel.'

'No, how can you be so calm? We'll never see each other again don't you get it. We'll be totally cut off, even the rings won't work. How can you just stand there like it doesn't matter.'

'Of course it fucking matters!' Winter shouted. Fawks' eyes widened a little. 'Of course this is tearing my heart into tiny bits and stamping the bits into the dirt with the weight of a truck but I won't let them win.' She put her hands to her girlfriends sides and squeezed her tightly. 'I'm calm because I don't want my last memory of you to be us whining about life not being fair. I want to remember the best bits of you, your laugh, your smile,' she reached up and pulled the mask off Fawks' face, throwing it across the room, 'your face. I just want one more moment with you.'

'I can't just take this lying down, if we're going out Win I want to do it screaming and kicking.' Winter shook her head.

'Tell the others how much I love them, especially Ianto.' Fawks shook her head, 'And tell Kam, tell him…' her tears were sliding down her cheeks too fast to stem and too heavy to finish the sentence, words didn't seem enough, they didn't seem to cover the loss, the devastating effect this would have on both of them. Carefully she slid the knife out of Fawks' pocket. Their breaths mixed, fast and sweet, hands gripped tightly to the other's body, 'I'm sorry sweetheart.' Fawks shook her head, tears building in her eyes.

'Win, please, come on I can fix this.' Winter gave a watery smile and shook her head.

'No angel, you can't. No one can. I mean it, I'm sorry but, it has to be like this.' Fawks unconsciously shook her head back and forth. 'It's ok though.' Fawks sobbed as Winter ran a hand down her face. 'I've got Jack. You've got John.' She looked back at the door and reinforced her smile. 'and, and we had some good times right? We didn't? Didn't we?' Fawks nodded, her mouth a tight smile to stop the painful sobs.

'Better than good. We were awesome baby.' Fawks choked out.

Winter nodded and took out the knife holding it to her skin.

'I love you.' Fawks gripped the side of Winters face.

'I love you too.'

Without another word Fawks pulled Winter closer and pressed their lips together. One final desperately loving kiss before the world blew apart around them. Winter sliced through the skin on Fawks' arm and then her own before throwing the knife down and taking her hand. The blood trickled steadily down their arms and mixed at their intertwined fingers, the TARDIS and rift energy creating a shining light that trickled to the floor like molten gold and dripped down to mingle with the widening hole of light on the floor. It grew brighter and brighter and all the while Winter and Fawks were oblivious, too wrapped up in each other to care.

With a tug of unexplainable, unknown energy they were pulled from each other's grip, the light flashed too bright to see and threw them to opposing ends of the room.

It was over.

So for the first time. The next chapter has yet to be written. What I would like is for you to include in your review something you would like to see before the end of this story. I promise to take your ideas and see how many I can include (and still be a good fit) So if there's something you always wanted to see, let me know now.

And if you're reading this in the future and the end has been written. Send your ideas anyway because I may write them out and put them onto my companion story 'Words have meaning, names have power'
