FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Ffffffffffffffffffff. This. You. Just. First-born child. Offering you. This. Yes. Thank youuuuu. God just. Thank you. A lot. I. Yes.

*clears throat* Right, coherency, I have it. I TOTALLY HAVE IT.

I just. You went and found out audio stuff for the purposes of fic writing which couldn't have been easy but you still got character voices and their (frankly sweet) little relationship thingy and I wanted to see more of these two and they're going to be all right! Narvin, Narvin and Vansell and Narvin and Vansell interacting and Narvin getting to be all sneaky and worried and have a career and little bits of plot-filling like things happening in absentia in regards to Romana and you managing to convey her voice perfectly even though she wasn't here and. Yes. Guh. That last line was lovely and a nice bit of forshadowing - I also love how Romana essentially saves Narvin's hide here but you could easily get the sense that it was merest oversight on her part (though she is no doubt used to being explicit when she has to and Vansell probably wanted to punish someone so she was probably very direct that he/CIA subordinates were to have no reprisals carried out on them but EVEN SO. It's not anything more than doing her job.) Um that trailed off but I meant I also love though how that doesn't endear her to Narvin particularly, he's still very much himself with his loyalties and his priorities and he can already see Romana is going to cause problems.

And Vansell getting all pissed at the mention of the Doctor and everyone's voices and frankly this one I thought had the least chance of getting done and I wanted so very much and fill-in-the-gaps fic is the best and. Thank you. YOU ARE SUPER AWESOME BRU.

:D :D

I'm so delighted you liked it! I'm so glad the voices worked - I was listening to Unregenerate!, Neverland and various Gallifreys over and over and over, but I still wasn't sure about them, so it's great to hear you liked them!

Rigan and Louis little relationship thingy is sweet. I liked that. And I am now convinced that Narvin and Vansell should be together in More Things. It's a shame they broke the Matrix in the Gallifrey audios.

Thank you for giving me the prompt to write this fic! I enjoyed the research and the writing and figuring out things along the way (like the in absentia bit) and I am delighted you like the end result!
