WHO: Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler (S2)
WHAT: A Nightmare.
WHEN: Tonight.
WHERE: Nine's TARDIS.
WARNINGS: Yup! Probably Stuff.
Since the Time War, the Doctor had always avoided sleep. While true that he didn't need nearly as much sleep as a human, he also pushed himself to the absolute limits before finally resting. He knew from inference that the future versions of himself seemed to have shaken off the nightmares, but even telling Rose about the Time War had only made them slightly less frequent.
But it had been days, and finally the Doctor had given in and tried to catch a few hours before he fell asleep on the console.
And like clockwork, there it was.
He didn't always cry out, not at first. The Doctor had that terrifying paralysis set in at first, knowing what was coming and being unable to move. Unable to stop it.
Forced to watch the planet he was born on burn.
