Doctor Who - Donna - memories she shouldn't have

[caboca.livejournal.com]

Selective memory,
by Shaun Temple,
aged Twenty-Nine and Severely in Love

My ginger love forgets
things she should remember:
where she put her car keys
where she was that time the world almost ended
(and that other time, and that other time)
where she met her ex
where she went when he left
where she got her favourite hat.

My ginger love remembers
things she shouldn't know:
the sound of galaxies dying
the sound of hearts breaking
the sound of perfect coffee
how to dismantle an atomic bomb
the sound I make when she tickles
a spot below my shoulder.

Why are you such a genius? I mean really! A poem? You make my day!

My favorite funny part: (and that other time, and that other time)

My favorite heartbreaking part: the sound of galaxies dying

Brilliant.

I love this. Thank you, love!

Hey, nobody ever said Shaun was a good poet. :P

Do you think Donna would tell him, if she did remember things and bits and bobs?

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hee!

You know, I don't really know. I don't feel like we knew him well enough to figure that out. On the other hand, Donna's a big talker, so maybe....

I am still bitter about everything that happened to Donna post-"Journey's End." I don't know that I'll ever get over it.

In my mind, Donna becomes like a magnet for alien happenings, and without remembering the Doctor, she starts kicking ass like Sarah Jane and ends up saving the world bunches of times and being wonderful.

Meh, yes. I think she and Shaun start a huge not-Torchwood corporation of coordinating cosmic cock-ups while focusing on basic humanity and not killing and pilfering anything sentient that drops from the skies. Still. It's not that Donna NEEDS the Doctor, god no, but I still wish she had him, because that? Was the most beautiful relationship the Doctor ever had. (And I say this as a sincere Rose-shipper.)

I agree with your ideas for her future.

They were my completely platonic OTP. He thought she was just brilliant and she wasn't afraid to roll her eyes at him, and I loved it.

I don't think she needs the Doctor, but I do think she needs what she learned through her journeys with him. The idea of her going back to a mundane life and being obsessed with celebrity gossip again hurts my heart.

Mmm, I know. Although, like I said, I am unfairly sadder for him than I am for her. Yeah, it was sorta his fault, but all Donna lost was all of space and time and an annoying spaceman-bestmate. What the Doctor lost though? Was completely irrevocably precious.

Awesome comment.
