Another old Find Me (Find Yourself) draft for yall - my beta and I FOUGHT on this one lol. It's my previous version of the psychic confession scene - I had a bit of a storm metaphor going on that I really liked, but my beta thought it was cliche and argued I was better off letting the confession speak for itself. Months later, I still can't decide if I made the right call in pulling it or not, so it's getting posted as a deleted scene here. I'd be super curious to hear people's thoughts if they have any on which version they prefer!
He’s just selfless enough to let Rogue leave, but entirely too selfish to ask him to go. “No,” he whispers, and does the only thing he can think to do: he leans over and presses his lips to Rogue’s, and drops all of his mental shields at the same time. Rogue gasps against his lips as the Doctor’s emotions begin to flood through their bond, threatening to drown him in their intensity. I want you more than anything I’ve ever wanted in my life but I am so, so scared. I don’t know how to say I love you and I have done more terrible things than you could ever imagine, loving me will burn you until there’s nothing left, I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again and I can’t offer you what you need, I don’t know how to be open and vulnerable, I haven’t for hundreds of years, if we stay together I’ll watch you die or I’ll watch you learn to hate me or- on and on and on the stream of consciousness goes, an overwhelming wave of love and fear and everything in between. The bond is a tempest; the bond is a hurricane, and the Doctor is the storm but he’s also lost in the storm. He’s stuck in a spiral of his own fear and despair, and now that he’s opened the channels he’s not entirely sure he knows how to get out. He knows it’s too much, knows it would be enough to drive a human mind fully insane, but he can’t stop, he’s never been able to stop. It’s only when a rock solid presence rises in his mind, a lighthouse in the storm of his emotions, that the Doctor remembers that Rogue is not, in fact, human. He stands, in their minds, impervious to the storm, holding on to his own mind and reaching out to calm the Doctor. I love you, and I’m terrified, and I don’t know what either of us is doing. I don’t know who you are but that’s okay, some days I don’t think I know who I am, but I want to find out who we are together, don’t you? I don’t know how long we have or how much it’ll hurt when I lose you, but it’s okay, we’ll be okay, I love you and I’m willing to wait for you as long as it takes, and you don’t ever have to say the words back if you don’t want to. Slowly, surely, his soothing presence calms the waters of the storm, and slowly the Doctor comes back to himself. He realizes they’re both sitting up now, and his head is against Rogue’s shoulder. He also realizes he’s crying, and Rogue is gently rubbing his back.

Find Me (Find Yourself) Deleted Scene (11/15)
They easily reach the Tardis before the Chuldur get anywhere near them, but the Doctor still hurries to pull Rogue inside and close the door behind them. A wave of panic and pain sweeps over the Doctor as Rouge steps inside into the bright white light of the console room, and he feels Rogue’s hand leave his. He turns, and sees Rogue falling to his knees, his hands pressed over his eyes. His own panic rising to meet Rogue’s, the Doctor kneels beside him, wrapping an arm around him and pulling him close. Tension radiates throughout Rogue, his muscles taut with what could be either fear or pain.
“Rogue, honey, what’s wrong?” The Doctor asks, voice thick with concern. Rogue’s mouth twists in a pained grimace.
“Sorry, I’m alright,” he says, voice strained even as he tries to speak evenly. “It’s just been a long time since I was out of the dark. The planet didn’t have any sort of daylight cycle.”
“It’s okay, love, just breathe,” the Doctor says, rubbing small circles against Rogue’s back. He snaps his fingers with his other hand, and the lights in the Tardis console dim drastically until they’re at about the same level as the glowing moss in the cave. Slowly, Rogue begins to relax against the Doctor’s arm, and he lowers his hands from his face. There’s tears trickling from his eyes that he quickly rubs away.
“Sorry,” he says again, an edge to his voice that the Doctor might label anger if he couldn’t taste the man’s utter mortification through their bond.
“How long was it, for you? ” The Doctor asks him, voice soft, still gently rubbing Rogue’s back. The touch seems to help ground Rogue as he thinks about the answer.
“Hard to tell time without days,” Rogue says. “But I think it’s been….two, maybe three earth-standard months since 1813?” The Doctor’s brow creases.
“I’m so, so sorry Rogue. I wish we could have picked you up sooner, the Tardis isn’t the best with precision and foreign dimensions-”
Rogue cuts him off with a weak smile. “I’m just glad you found me, Doctor.” He gently takes the Doctor’s hand and inspects it, looking at the ring on his pinkie finger. “You kept it,” he starts to say, before he’s interrupted by a pounding noise behind them - the Chuldur, presumably, have finally caught up to them, and are trying to break into the Tardis.
“Right!” the Doctor says, jumping up suddenly. “They shouldn’t be able to break the Tardis’s defenses, but I believe that’s my cue to get us out of here.”

The way he turns and scans the crowd one more time, oh aren’t you a smooth careful bounty hunter, as if five minutes from now you’re not going to let an alien murder suspect tap your little gun while you’re drowning in his eyes
Don’t worry, he’s a huge dork, too.

Hey!! It's been quite a while since I posted anything, here. To be honest, work is very time-consuming. But! Here I am, with a tarot card- last one being Maestro's, that I've done at least three months ago!
This time, place for some Timerogue, as the Six of Cups.
Explanation, as always, under the cut!

You know what I NEED Rogue to be? Donna in that one Christmas special. One episode that introduced her, nothing for an entire season then BAM changed my mind let's roll
I don’t think I could handle no mention of him for a whole season though. I was so frustrated he hasn’t been mentioned yet and it’s only been two episodes

A Lil' Summertime Nostalgia
Just a little Whovian Easter Egg to throw out in these trying times.
...I'm angrier than words can express at current events and astoundingly unsurprised which is, itself a lot to take in emotionally. My creative brain and logical brain are holding an intense press conference as we speak.
I digress...
Doccy Who
Remember when Rogue and Fifteen had their little meet-cute?
I do.
We're going back there!
Find the joy! Find the love!
Yes, we'll face reality in due time. Yes, we are going to think critically about what needs to occur to live, survive, and thrive.
...but right now I need a "Classiiiic!!"
Let what we love continue to breathe.
Hate feeds on starving us of what brings out our strength.
