Fics like a speaker for my dead

Answering the prompt: a conversation between Ender Wiggin and the Doctor. -- Any conversation between these two needs Jane the ansible and Sexy the TARDIS in the background, forming a support group for Extra-Dimensional and Temporally-Unstuck Beings Who Fall in Love with Repenting, Self-Destructive, Genius Children Whose Brilliance Only Gets them in Trouble. - Can you imagine the Doctor stumbling upon the Hive Queen though? He too is mourning a whole species. He is their son and he is their killer. The book would tremble in his hands. Can you imagine him stumbling upon the Hegemon and seeing himself in Peter? He would shake for days— Peter’s arrogance, his As God Am I righteousness, the benevolent dictator who saved the world, who erased Donna’s mind to save her life, who makes decisions for other people, who wins. But the Speaker who wrote Peter Wiggin’s life story loved him. The author was honest, evenhanded, condemning as well as kind— but he loved Peter, this bully and this savior of Man. It is written into every line of the Hegemon, and for all it shakes the Doctor to see his selfsame rightoeus arrogances written out on the page, he puts down the book and he feels seen.
