Oh my. There are not enough words to tell you the buttons this is hitting. Brilliant. Beautiful. Painful. Fantastic...

And suddenly, Waters of Mars makes some sort of sense to me - thanks for reading!

These are really, really good. And I love the use of the stages of grief, as well. Very nicely done!

I think this is the line that really resonated with me:

Time always wins, his teachers' voices whisper in his mind as he watches snowflakes hurtling around an empty space where an Ood stood just a moment ago, like a warning from his own future.

So true for him - and then that final drabble is such a perfect finish. Great work!

Thank you so much!

Oh, lovely. I love the idea of the Doctor, in the end, getting tired of running.

It would be the ultimate end for Ten, wouldn't it? Thanks for reading

This is beautifully done. Showing the events of WoM as the Doctor finally working through his grief from the Time War, after being stuck in the denial stage for years, makes so much sense.

Let's hope that he'll find some piece before he - this him - dies.

Thank you for sharing.

It's scary how good the stages of grief thing works, isn't iz? Thanks for commenting!
