The "Planet of the Spiders" scene is one of my favorites too, which is why I decided to use it for the drabble. (I also briefly flirted with the idea of doing something between the Doctor and the Brig but Sarah won out, what can I say.) And yes, I have had similar thoughts when confronted with Doctor/Rose OTP'ers. I originally was going to title this "Home" but then decided that title might be too corny.
I'm relieved you like it. I think I could have done a better job at showing how the Doctor is feeling rather than all the telling -- more sense impressions, etc. -- but overall I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it all went. I originally under-shot the words, believe it or not, I think because I was so worried about going over. My first word count was 79. Then I started adding and got to a point where I was happy with what I had -- and it was 101! I had a hard time finding that last one word to get rid of, but finally did.
