Dear Fanfiction,
I'd never settle down with Rose and live a normal human life, as in actually marrying her and raising kids. What would be the use of a TARDIS, then? Just let it sit around after we bought a flat together and lived a dreadfully boring and peaceful life? She's fond of fighting evil and helping me save planets, even though her life's at stake sometimes. But I will protect her. And besides, the idea of all that domestication makes me shudder a little bit.
