halfamoon | Fic: My sun was always setting (drabble, Doctor Who)

I just realized I do have another little piece to contribute to the effort, a drabble for Susan while she was still at Coal Hill school. The Doctor may have never looked back, but that doesn't mean Susan didn't.

The girl was in the library again. Barbara Wright quietly opened the door. “Susan,” she called. “It’s time to go home. The building is being locked up for the night.”

Susan Foreman looked back at her with a detached, strangely dreamy look on her face. “Have you seen the sunset?” she asked.

Barbara frowned, but joined her by the window. “Very pretty,” she observed.

“The colours here are so different,” Susan said softly. “I do like the blue. But the orange of the sunset…”

Miss Wright looked askance at her faraway eyes, curious. “Yes?”

“It makes me so very homesick.”
