[Challenge #32: Prerogative] Doctor Who: 'For The Best'
Title: 'For The Best'
Fandom: Doctor Who
Author:but_can_i_be_trusted
Rating: G
Word Count: 100
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones
Warnings: G
Notes: Crossposted to100words
Summary: He's been unfair to her.
The Doctor doesn't blame Martha for walking away from him. That's her prerogative.
As he gives it more thought, he realizes that it's probably the wisest decision Martha could make. He's been unfair to her. Losing Rose is still too fresh a pain in his hearts; he's not ready to let go, just yet. The result could only be an act of cruelty, however inadvertent: To consign Martha to the shadows, as though she were all but invisible.
It hurts to lose another friend so soon. But the Doctor understands Martha's reasoning.
It's all for the best, in the end.
