Creator's Summary: Going to dinner with someone outside of the proper sequence of events is not a risk to be repeated.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Romana I, Tenth Doctor/Romana II, background Fourth Doctor/Romana
Warnings/Notes: none
Reasons for reccing: This is the sort of bizarre, topsy-turvy, slightly messed-up, very sad romance that only time travel can give you. A post-Time-War Tenth Doctor meets Romana--the one still travelling with his former self. Is it cheating to go out with a future version of your partner behind the current version's back? Regardless of whether you think it is or isn't (the characters aren't sure, either), there's still only one way this can end, and it's sad and beautiful.
One of the things I love about science fiction is how it can make our metaphors literal. Who hasn't thought, in the midst of grief, "If only I could go back, if only I could see them one more time, have one more day with them, say the thing I never said?" This fic explores those longings in a really moving way.
And my favorite aliens kiss each other.
