Melody as Faith!

Yes, that's awesome...it's actually been my theory for a few years now that Faith was secretly a Time Lord.

Thank you! It is a lot of fun to speculate about Tarot Girl. I suspect that the notion that she was the girl from the story and had been in the same position as Owen for centuries is most plausible (although she must have taken very, very good care of herself to have lasted that long), but alternate hypotheses are always intriguing (and ficcable). Maybe she was a Time Lord child who either went a bit peculiar after being exposed to The Untempered Schism and flipped out about it faster than The Doctor and The Master did, or she ran away from Gallifrey to avoid being exposed to the Schism in the first place.

It’s why The Silence never bothered to craft a bespoke psychopath for you, Jack. You’re so good at making them yourself.

Oh, OW. You're kind of a genius! I love this setup, and your characterization and dialogue, as ever!

>They never realized who I was, even after they made me their battle-computer.
very nice!!

am enjoying the dance these two dance around each other.

>Congratulations. You’re the only person in history who might be able to win at Russian Roulette.”
one takes what one can get. :)

Many thanks! I am very glad that you liked the idea of Jack and Melody circling each other across time and space.

These two so belong together, especially since they're both really all about the Doctor. Love the idea of Melody as Tarot Girl.

Thank you! They make an interesting (and disturbing) couple.
