Poor puppy: "Hey, Ben. You all right, man?" Alex asked. "Not particularly." "What do you need?" "For the last two and a half months to not have happened." "Sorry, my time machine's in the shop."
... I wonder if I could get away with calling it a TARDIS. Because that would be awesome.
It's very, very strong. I'm not overly familiar with the story...sorry, I've got my own fishes I'm frying, though I am trying to be better at this sort of thing...anyway, I love the tone of this. It really works for me...I feel the conflict and desperation he's feeling in this. I can't decide if I like the sentence structure/paragraphing. (It could be a LJ formatting thing.) If it's not...I get it, I just don't know if I like it.
Thank you! *squints* Ben gets fragment-y when he's stressed, and he's under a hell of a lot of stress at this moment. In fact, this scene should be even more fragment-y than it is.

Not that he wants snuggling. He wants a TARDIS...
