his_sarah_jane042. TEN people you would die for and why.
1. The Doctor: He’d die for others without missing a beat of his heart. However selfish a Timelord he may claim to be, in the end, he fights for life. And if someone were to threaten someone, even someone the Doctor doesn’t even know, he’d do something. It wouldn’t feel right to call him my best friend if I didn’t do the same. A world without the Doctor is much more terrifying in the end than a world without me in it.Besides, I love him.
2. [Milliways] James Bond: He’s my (other) best friend, my lover, my family, my husband, my life. Like the Doctor, James is more than willing to risk his life for others. And I love him so, so much for that and for everything he is. I’ve left my world for him already. I’m sure that it’s rather clear by now (at least, I do hope it is) that I would do anything for him. I wouldn’t want to live my life without him anymore.
3. [Milliways] Valerie Smith-Bond: How can a mother not be willing to die on her daughter’s behalf? She might not be born yet, but I love her dearly. She’s ours, someone James and I created that no one can ever really take away from us. I never quite understood that blind devotion until now.
4. Harry Sullivan: I’ve seen others mention that travelling with the Doctor tends to form a bond between companions. I suppose they’re right in that way. Harry’s one of the few people I know I can talk to about all of this without being thought of as daft; he’s a wonderful friend to have. He’s saved my life more than one. I’d like to think that I have – and will continue – to do the same for him.
5. Lavinia Smith: My aunt who I will always love dearly. She acted as my mother and my father after my parents passed. I wouldn’t be where I was today if not for her. If you can’t die for family, who else is there?
6. Luke Smith: I see so much potential in him to do right by the world some day. He already has, in fact, even if no one can ever know. I never planned on having a family of my own, but I will never ever regret the day I decided to adopt Luke. He and his friends have filled a hole in my life I never realized was missing. I love him, so much, even if I tend to be reluctant to say it. No person can ever ask for a better son.
7. Maria Jackson: She reminds me so much of myself when I was her age: inquisitive, adventurous, intelligent, and brave. I do enjoy her company, but if something were to happen to her – her or Luke or Clyde – I wouldn’t ever be able to forgive myself. She deserves to live a full, glorious life. I’ve already lived mine.
8. Clyde Langer: We may not always get along at the best of times, but I admire the boy’s spirit. Like Maria and Luke, it’s my fault that he’s been dragged into this world of mine. As long as he continues to join us on our ‘adventures’ I will do anything to make sure that, at the end of the day, he gets home alive.
9. Alan Jackson: Maria needs her father more than she needs me. Not to be rude, but her mother doesn’t seem like much of one (although I suppose I am not one to talk) and a girl needs a stable parent at this point in time. Especially if he were in danger because of the sort of life I live, I wouldn’t give it a second thought.
10. Earth’s people: Although I suppose by this I do mean any large population of people, be it human or otherwise. I suppose I fancy myself as a bit of a protector of Earth, seeing as I’m stuck here now, even if we have UNIT and Torchwood and, of course, the Doctor. They can’t be everywhere at once, and I’ve so far rather enjoyed filling in the gaps. Being willing to die for those you don’t know, I believe, is very much part of this deal.
