Summary: Summarize a drabble that contains spoilers? Nope, can't do it.
Disclaimer: The sandbox belongs to RTD and the BBC. I'm just playing here, in the corner, making little sand-TARDISes. Not making any money, not asserting any claims.
A/N: Three fics posted in one night -- a new record! This one is off the cuff and completely unbetad. DO NOT READ if you haven't watched Waters of Mars. Really. I mean it.

You stumble onto an ordinary street, quiet and snow-covered -- so different from the fiery horror you left behind. It feels obscene to stand in this peaceful spot when your friends are...

God!
You back away from the man (Not a man, can't be! ) who brought you here. He's asking for thanks, like he'd given you a lift to the nearest petrol station. But behind that amiable smile is something ancient, inhuman, and drunk on power, that could crush you by accident (or by whim).

You flee into the night; not all the monsters were left behind on Mars.

First... that's a lovely drabble. Not all the monsters were left behind, indeed.

Second... ::prepares to admit to absurd levels of geekery::

If you pause the ep when the Doctor is seeing history change in the form of the news articles after Adelaide commits suicide, you can see some of the news blurbs about Mia and Yuri. They tell the world about how Adelaide saves humanity and a mysterious alien named the Doctor brought them back to Earth.

First... thank you.

Second... I was planning to do that. Just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
