pocky_slash's writing chat, which is full of awesome. Spoilers for "A Day in the Death" - yes, Maggie is the girl from that episode. I know, you've probably already forgotten all about her. It's okay.
Disclaimer: Don't own Doctor Who, Torchwood, or any of its characters, not making any money from this.
Yesterday was a year since Maggie's wedding, a year since her husband died.
Yesterday she meant to kill herself.
Yesterday she met a dead man, and yesterday she stood with him on a rooftop with a message from another world in his hands.
Today, she's at the graveyard, leaving flowers. Which is silly, because he never really saw the point of flowers. "They're just going to die in two days anyway!"
It's the best she can do.
And today it's not just an alien message she gets, but an alien himself, in the form of a blue box with a flashing light, an odd mechanical groaning sound, and a man in a pinstriped suit stepping out and looking around him in bemusement.
"Oh. I think I'm... a bit..." He notices Maggie and flashes her a smile. "Hello!"
Maggie stares at him, and because yesterday she was meant to die anyway, decides she may as well start a new life, where things like this aren't strange anymore. "Hello," she says, with a slow, uncertain smile.
