Fic Rec: Ceremony

[np_complete]

Ceremony, by orange_crushed. Beautiful and solemn and painful and inevitable. As katesutton said, you can almost see the weight on the Doctor in Season Three of having done this, of having given in to temptation and been forced back to that painful, hopeless, heroic stoicism. So very, very well done.

As for the language, it dazzles.
