Description So what happens to the Meta-crisis Doctor and Rose after they are left on bad wolf bay? Is it the happy ending we expected, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?

Anyone who knows me knows that I enjoy a good fandom on occasion. My latest craze is none other than Doctor Who. Late to the party, I know I know. I didn't know what I was missing. But better late than never, yeah? Anyway, I had a ton of fun illustrating this image for the story linked below.

If you'd like a good read do keep up on the story which will have chapters posted every week (it's completed already but hey- the anticipation is half the fun amiright?) There's adventure and mystery and romance and bit of something for all Doctor Who fans who can appreciate a good could-be-cannon fanfic along with good fanart. Yes you male readers, it really does have a lot of action and adventure!

Things Unseen


Excerpt:

"Thud. Thud. Thud.

For the first time she registered the pain banging her head. She winced, grabbing her forehead.

And then she felt the brunt of it, the icy cold. In that moment she was sure the abyss of space could feel no colder. It was the cold of the awful truth, ripping from her every semblance of lingering hope, tearing into her so much deeper than in just physical manifestations.

A strangled noise escaped her lips. Was it a sigh? A cry? A laugh?

She supposed it was funny, in a way, to work so desperately towards a goal and then willingly let it pass her by. As if she'd decided on a whim to not bother the man in her thoughts every waking moment with such unimportant pesky things like loving him to death and instead let him get on with his life. No really, don't mind me. I didn't cross universes just to be with you again. Please, don't let me keep you. He didn't even say goodbye. Must not have been important. Must of forgot. After everything she did for him, risking her life every day, absorbing the ruddy vortex for heavens sake! How comical. It was funny, wasn't it?

And so she laughed. And laughed. And cried. No, sobbed. She was sobbing now. Violent wrenching sobs amplified by the tremulous shivers now overtaking her.

A flash of blue was at her side. Someone was hoisting her up from the water now overtaking her knees. Had she really been there that long?

They were moving now. Firm hands wrapped around her, helping her to walk, ushering her dripping numb feet forward against the whipping wind. She was barely aware of her mother on the phone as they trudged in the sand."


The image itself was created in Photoshop by hand, free handed. All characters were extrapolated from several sources- including several of my own. The Sontaran is of an entirely different uniform and design for this parallel world. Hope you enjoy it!

Oh, so YOU'RE the author of this fic! I've been glancing at it so many times when I see it updated on ff.net but I've been sort of...stalling when it comes to reading it. I've been rather afraid it wouldn't have a happy ending for the Doctor and Rose and if there's one thing I can't abide with, it's an unhappy ending for those two (especially when it comes to tenII)...but after glancing through your gallery here, it does make me feel a lot better... But, tell me honestly, will my heart survive reading it?

Oh I guarantee it's worth reading. That being said, it does come with a lot of ups and downs as life does, but if there's one thing I don't do, it's mess with cannon. 10.5 and Rose are meant to be together. The end. And honestly, it has a stronger plot than any of the other fics I've read. That's why I wrote it. All the others just seemed to be more about relationships and less about the feel of Doctor Who. I didn't find anything I felt could really be the perfect combination, thus this story was born.

I just barely got into the third season of the new show myself (took me forever to get through the end of season two =_


I am intrigued.

Heh, mebeh. Depends. Is your short story fanfic? If it is, I can't because I am not allowed to profit off of copyrighted material. But if not, then yes, if I am compensated for my time.

Absolutely gorgeous artwork not to mention a truly unique concept! I've always wanted to know what became of the Meta-Doctor and Rose after the events of Journey's End. Perhaps we'll find out on The Day of the Doctor? But I digress.


Beautiful work, I hope this gets the attention it deserves
