Summary: Hope flares, life wins, and then—only then—the Doctor dances. A tiny drabble with very light Nine/Rose, for cuteness.
Author's note: Just a tiny, 100-word drabble about the very end of The Doctor Dances… because it's adorable.


Feet slipped into familiar, long-forgotten patterns. In the blink of an eye, distant, cool knowledge shifted into something alive, that responded to the music. It responded to her, he thought briefly as he twirled her and watched her beaming. Rose Tyler, little human girl—so ephemeral—and teasing and laughing, grinning away at him, with a fierce and red and new blush on her cheeks.

He had the moves, and he had the feeling—a gleeful light, flaming in his chest, of triumph and hope, of reunited families. Everybody lives, he thought, and glanced at the Captain's knowing smirk.

He couldn't form a proper scowl.

I know!!! He's so underrated, but he's amazing. After rewatching the series, I actually prefer Nine/Rose to Ten/Rose. S1!Rose is a lot more endearing to me—in s2 she was still good on the whole, but her possessiveness towards Ten annoyed me, she got borderline bratty at times…

Ah, such a perfect missing scene! Love that he couldn't form a scowl -- aw, Nine!

And he /likes/ to scowl at Jack, so that's quite something ;)
Thanks for the comment, dear! *squishes*
