yes, he is in love with her, without a doubt, but i don't think his love hinges on romance. he loves her so deeply that the romantic chemistry they then transform into in the form of the tenth doctor, just isn't required for him as nine. the joy that pours out of him when he looks at her is so light that it’s blinding. he loved her purely just as she is first. he loves her with such unfathomable depth, that it puts hozier to shame. he loves her so intrinsically that it rivals crowley and aziraphale.
he loves her like the moon loves the sun. he loves her. he loves her. he loves her.
Cant stop thinking about TenRose. He was born for her he died in her arms he kept his face for her his world fell apart when he lost her he got her back only to lose her again solely because he kept his face for her he only survived a few months after losing her a second time he risked everything just to say goodbye to her. Nobody is doing it like them
please can someone write a fic where ten continues his time lord victorious bullshit at the end of waters of mars and immediately, while thinking he’s a god, goes and breaks down the walls of the multiverse and steals rose from tentoo and makes her his queen while he takes over the universe

If anyone else wants to be tagged because I update pretty irregularly let me know.
The Doctor is an alien that comes from a species that's whole thing is about Time.
I think he probably has a different perspective on selfhood and time/space.
So, what I imagine the Doctor's understanding of the Metacrisis happening is like a superposition of selfness.
In that way I don't think he saw Tentoo as a different man that got to go off with Rose.
I don't think he thought of this as 'give up Rose' or that he lost.
Yes this version of himself doesn't get to be with her, but there is a version of himself that gets to have literally everything he's fantasized about.
Before, his odds of getting to keep her forever and live happily ever after were zero.
Then all of a sudden he's in a superposition of two futures and it was like a coinflip which he'd get to be.
He 'lost' the coinflip but he was competing against himself so he still one. That's 100% more chance to win than he ever had before.
On a day he’s feeling particularly masochist, the 10th Doctor travels back to attend Rose Tyler’s memorial. It’s small because so many have been lost and there are hundreds of memorials a day in the weeks following Doomsday. But to be surrounded by even a handful of people who knew her and cared about her is a debridement of his raw aching hearts.
The characters David Tennant (played by David Tennant) and Georgia Tennant (played by Georgia Tennant) in BBC Staged are TenToo and Rose Tyler in Pete’s World.
That last scene of The Doctor Dances is so delicious. You have the Doctor and Rose trying to dance together as they attempt to save Jack, who almost gets to dance with Rose. Then the Doctor brings up a new kind of dancing, showing there is more than just Jack's moves. All the same dancing with Rose and making sure that Jack sees them. The answer hanging in the air, "I'm sure [he'd love to cut in], but who with?" Who does Jack, a 51st century man, want to dance with? Who does the Doctor or Rose want to dance with? There's certainly a dance to be had.
