Summary: Like a mirror reflected into a mirror, choices made create an infinite of possibilities, and images seen may not be what they appear. An encounter with an elusive, incorporeal race leads the Doctor and his allies on a dark journey.
Warnings: Spoilers for all of Season 4 of Doctor Who in this chapter. Big, big spoilers for "Gallifrey: Mindbomb." Did I mention big spoilers for "Gallifrey: Mindbomb?"
Rating: Teen
Characters: Ten, Donna, Braxiatel, Torchwood, Original characters (Mike)
Genre: AU, Adventure
Author's Note: Thanks to mtemplar_fic for the beta! By the way, if you're interested in where I got a bit of information used in this chapter, see pp. 166-167 in Tears of the Oracle by Justin Richards. It's a really beautiful character study of two important characters to this chapter. The incident Ada mentions is Mykonos, but it's not necessary to have read it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who, Torchwood, or any of its characters, and I'm receiving no profit from this beyond the joy of writing.
ETA: Mindwights and little sleep took my brain out my ear. Problem at the end fixed.
Chapter 4, Chapter 3, Chapter 2, Chapter 1
( Donna sat on a couch in her quarters, flipping idly through the hundreds of video channels. In any other context, she would've been amused that it was just like at home--a myriad of channels and not an interesting thing on any of them. )
