Advent Calendar 22 -- candle (requested by yanks_02)

Rose was shivering and the cave was pitch black. The Doctor would find her, she knew he would. “He’ll find you,” she whispered. “He’ll find you.”

Rose.

She thought she was imagining his voice, but she sat up anyway, listening carefully.

Rose.

And then she saw it, a glimmer of light in the distance. She shouted for joy. “I’m here!”

When he got closer, she realized he was holding a candle.

“Where’s your sonic?” she asked.

“Confiscated,” he answered, cheerfully. “But it’s okay. We’ll find a way out. Do you believe me?”

She threw her arms around his neck. “Yes.”

Aw, this is so lovely! Very "one little flame dispelling the darkness" and all. And can I just tell you I actually got goosebumps when he called her name? It was the way you did it, just that single word, in italics...I could just hear it, in my mind, like a stone dropped into water. Simply wonderful!

Awwww, what a beautiful image, her name being a stone dropped into water. And the "one little flame" thought...This comment is practically a fic itself!

Well, it's just about the length of one of my fics, so... *g*

(and thank you for the kind words!)

I do not know of what you speak, your fics are the PERFECT length. ::considers re-reading the blue suit smut again::

Aw! You're too kind! I guess they have enough words to say what I want them to, so they're long enough, right? *g*
