Fics like Mad, Impossible Things

Yaz doesn’t even think. After the water has settled and there’s still no sign of the Doctor, she dives into the murky depths. She dives with the same single-minded determination that had possessed her only once before. She recalls it now, as she slipped into that unfathomable calm: the shooting range; the smell of gunsmoke; the mufflers squeezing her head like a vice. The look of paternal, gentle condescension on her superior officer’s face as he’d casually leaned against the wall, a few metres away, arms crossed, absolutely certain she’d fail this. The muted rage that heated her to beyond boiling point when she’d first walked out into the range, as she heard her peers sniggering behind her, no doubt exchanging cruel japes and veiled insults after she’d turned her back on them. She’d had no choice but to nail every shot. She can not afford to do any less than that now.
