Fics like Calling off the War

She sat down next to him on the couch. “You okay?” The tightness that had been sitting in their chest since Donna had told him he needed to come home folded in on itself and tears welled up in their eyes. “I don’t— I don’t think I am.” She pulled him into a hug. He dug his face into her neck the way he had done to himself. She rubbed his back and held them tight, not to the point of being uncomfortable, but rather like a weighted blanket. Her warmth made him feel all the times he hadn’t had that. All the times they’d parked the TARDIS in the stars and slept on the floor. All the nights he woke up and remembered everyone who’d died. They longed for touch, anyone’s touch, to make him feel something other than guilt. Or In which the Doctor goes to farmer's markets, creates a wardrobe, accidentally joins a support group, becomes the hot gossip of PTA moms, attempts a few hobbies, and learns how to live the slow life.
