Oooh, I like this a lot.

Wonderful character study. Very well done.

[ladymercury_10]

:) Thanks!

Lovely imagery. Particularly liked the idea of the ties that bind the Doctor, with its climax in the last line; something both brave and vulnerable in that phrasing, all at once. Very him.
Off to read it again.

Oh, that's very kind. Thank you! I'm blushing.

[elisi]

But he’s seen a real miracle now, a whole universe healed of its cracks, and he can’t help but hope.
Oh this.

It’s so easy to come untethered, floating out into time and space, and a lifeline always hurts when it’s pulled. He winds the lines around his hands and holds on for all he’s worth.
Beautiful and perfect, and very, very him.

Thank you! I was afraid at first it would come off a bit too Ten-ish, with the angst and what.

[elisi]

Oh no. I think the angst and the pain is still there, but Eleven holds on despite all that - he knows the price but is willing to pay it, because he's lived through the alternative.

How do you mean?
