I have a hard time thinking of Ten2.0 as a clone tbh because it's not DNA they share (considering Donna's mixed up in there too), it's memories. I STILL JUST FIND THE IDEA RLY WEIRD TBH
(2) sh sounds like she's spent longer searching for him, probably, than she ever did with him. Not sure what you mean by this?
IA about School Reunion / GITF being significant moments for Rose in having her idealism somewhat checked. The thing is that she still clearly holds on in spite of that: in Doomsday she declares that she's made her choice and she's not going to leave him. And I think that's about her own co-dependence? It's about her love and need for him, not the other way round. As for Ten, obviously it's true that he's selfish enough to allow Rose choosing him over her family/everything, lol. Still, the salient point is that she's the one actively clinging to their relationship in a realistic sense. I think the codependence was indeed greater on her side.
Obvs, Doctor/TARDIS is the forever ship that's why. Praise be.
idk, I still see a bit of militaristic "THE DOCTOR WILL NEVER LOVE ANYONE LIKE HE DID ROSE" ranting, lol. But you're probably right in that the popularity of other Doctor pairings has lessened that overall.
(2) It takes years or decades for them to actually be together, because trauma This would be my preferred option.
(3) Ten2.0 gets commitment issues, fakes his own death, and runs off to Brazil. When he returns after a few years ready to try for a relationship, he finds out he's too late because Rose has shacked up with alt!Martha and has no time for him any longer. alt!Martha/Rose 4eva Also good.
And oooooh, thanks for the fic recs! You have come through where none could. Praise.
