A/N: New pic for you. This chapter was a pain in the rear. The Plot Bunnies wanted Smut. The Author wanted to get this out of the way first. I ended up with a scene of Fluff with 2/Jamie for the next chapter first before said bunnies relented.
Doctor Who and the Threads of Time
Part four:St Albans Space Bazaar, Wild Space/Alliance Fringe, Late ‘October’, 2518.
Romana had not expected to see another of her kind here. Well, not totally true. She had expected to see the Doctor here. If nothing else the Doctor was more ‘her kind’ than anything else. To say she loved him would be an understatement. She’d literally remade herself for him, once she realized that he was not going to ever bridge the gap that existed between them in her first form. She’d thought she had the lives to spare, after all. He was three ahead of her.
Somehow he managed to remain ahead of her, no matter how many alters she spun off in her attempt to get more done at the same time. It was not legal, but it was her right as president in such extreme conditions such as this, to use her lives for the good of Gallifrey. She didn’t have the choice but to live more than one life at a time. Although she would bet that the Doctor would accuse her of having a bad case of multiple personality even though she more viewed it as living her life rather more non-linearly than most. Besides by the time this life caught up with the next one it would be too late to do this. By using K-9 and Leela as communication sources and keeping an open bridge with her TARDIS she’d found ways to communicate with her other selves, deliberately crossing lifetimes with them. The Matrix had shown her how to do it.
