Creator's Summary: He never replaces them. He just always finds someone new.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones
Warnings/Notes: None
Reasons for reccing: I wanted to post a last Martha rec before the end of the quarterly challenge and decided to look for an early one, before fanfic had settled into a rut concerning the character. And it turned out that the first one on AO3 was very good, and all about the transition between Rose and Martha, showing Ten in a not entirely flattering light.

Planning Ahead
The TARDIS is never silent, but it can still be an unfulfilling conversation partner and the Doctor finds himself lapsing into silence more than he used to. It is perhaps a sort of grief, but he's grieved enough for thirteen lifetimes long before this. He won't forget, because he never does, but that doesn't mean he needs to fill his mind with it.
It's always silent after, he thinks. Always, even in the roar.
He likes noise. Likes his gob, and he's getting poor use of it. Likes someone he can be brilliant to. Likes someone who's brightness, energy and voice, matching his own.
Not a replacement for Rose, no. He's never replaced any of them. Time doesn't replace what it kills, only brings new life, and he is ever time's tango partner. He never replaces them. He just always finds someone new and he thinks about it in the silence, the TARDIS humming with the future in his ear.
