This is absolutely beautiful and completely in character. I see this happening in series one. You are quite gifted! Can't wait to read more of your work!

[svanderslice]

Thanks so much! I really appricate you taking the time to comment. :)

Oh that was fantastic. You have such a knack for capturing both of their voices. Can't wait for the next bit!

[svanderslice]

Thanks so much for the lovely review. There is more comming, they haven't even made it to the planet I was given as a prompt yet. Unfortunately my beta is out of town so the next parts wont be up until next week. Sorry.

This is really compelling becuase you caught the tone of both their voices and you're able to express the pain without over doing it. Beautiful.

[svanderslice]

Thanks so much. I was actually really worried about getting just the right balance since I needed to express the pain he was in, but also keep him in character. I ended up deleting a few lines that weren't quite right. So I'm really glad you noticed the effort.

[aroniwen]

Yeah, you didn't cross the line into emo-timelord. Very important that.

Lovely! This would make a perfect fic just as it is, but I'm glad there's more to come. This is very much in-character for Nine--the repressed emotions coming to a sudden boil, and his gentle-but-stoic apology later once he's repressed the emotions again. I like Rose here, too; she was always there for him, even when he was at his worst.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review, it really means a lot to me. And I agree that the fic is perfect just the way it is, it almost hurts me to have to add to it, but this is for the Time and Chips ficathon, "anywhere but Cardiff," and they haven't actually been to the planet I was given yet, so I sort of have to keep going. Hopefully the rest of it will be as good.

Awww. Poor Angsty Nine. He really does need a hug. I love the fact that you've kept them both very in character. Very touching and sweet. I'll definitly be looking for the rest!

Thanks so much for the review! Unfortunately my beta is out of town, so I wont have anything more up until next week, but I'm glad you want to read the rest. :)
