Title: Admitting The Truth

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ten, Martha

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 007 – Confessions at dw100

Spoilers: Gridlock.

Summary: Confession is good for the soul.

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

He lies to Martha, telling her stories of the beauty and splendour of Gallifrey, saying he won’t take her there because he doesn’t want to go home. Been there, seen it before, travelling is more fun. He keeps lying until Martha backs him into a corner, metaphorically speaking, and compels him to honesty. Then it all comes out.

It feels good to confess, admit the truth. He wants nothing more than to go home, but he can’t, because home isn’t there any more: his world, his people, gone forever. The only thing he doesn’t confess is that it’s his fault.

The End

But if it's the other way around, women feel threatened. It's not fun.

It's certainly a complex situation. It depends where everyone involve is coming from.
