Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Tenth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 336: Transfer at dw100.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




He doesn’t want to regenerate; he likes this body, feels like he’s barely got used to it, but even a Time Lord can’t simply shrug off the effects of a Dalek ray. His body’s damaged too severely not to regenerate, yet he fights it. He needs to heal, but maybe he doesn’t need to go through a full regeneration, not when he’s got a convenient spare part just lying around not doing anything.


As the golden energy fills him to the brim, he absorbs what he needs and transfers the excess to the hand he lost fighting the Sycorax.


Perfect.



The End

Vanity issues, indeed! Solved his problem and caused Donna a problem in the process...

But it did mean he was firing in all cylinders when he was needed rather than dealing with the after-effects of regeneration so there's some good along with the bad...

Thank you!
