He stood there, out of sight, watching the entrance of Limehouse Green Railway Station.  He shouldn’t be here.  Not tonight.  Not with the risk to the timeline.  But he couldn’t help it.  One glance, he told himself, that’s all he needed.  A quick look at his Doctor, the man he’d changed for, the man he’d died for.  And a look back at who he’d been before they’d met.  He knew he was right to come.  It forced him to look at who’d put him on this new path, to convince himself that, in the long run, it was worth it.

This is such a lovely, lovely thing, and you've really gotten an emotional response out of me in very few words. I especially love A quick look at his Doctor, the man he’d changed for, the man he’d died for. And a look back at who he’d been before they’d met and the last line, because I really, really want it to have been worth it.

AWWWWW! This is very bittersweet!

I loved this line: "A quick look at his Doctor, the man he’d changed for, the man he’d died for."

Lovely :-)

Bet there were a lot of things he went and watched, while he was waiting, just for a glimpse of his Doctor.

And other people he remembered too. Like Rose.

If this wasn't for the video I probably would have put Rose in there too, and some line about his Flag Girl and U-Boat Captain, but the video was 9/Jack.

glad you liked!

If the vid's half as gorgeous as this drabble it deserves an Oscar.
