OMG there's only 2 chapters left and you drop that kind of bomb?!? And any warm fuzzy comments about Jackie and tea or cuddly sleep habits are chased out of my head with the panic. Sigh. And half a week to wait now to find out what happened to the poor Doctor.

[wendymr]

Well, it's three chapters really when you include the epilogue, which is actually a full chapter's-length. But, yes, just two chapters of the main story. Glad you liked Jackie, tea and cuddly sleeping habits! *g*

Awww..... Good ol' Jackie. He really did need a more or less impartial person with him just then.

Awww...... Bedroom cuddles.

EEK!!!!!!!!! What happened to the Doctor?! EEK!

[wendymr]

Well, he needed a mother with him just then - shared experience of parenthood (which the Doctor, despite having been a dad - and a granddad - really doesn't have in the same way), as well as someone who knows how to listen and comfort :) Glad you liked it!

As for what happened to the Doctor... more coming soon :)

Wow.

First: I love the way they're rebuilding their relationship, all three of them together. It feels very real, and very sweet.

Second: darn you and your cliff hangers. I really did not see that coming. (Though, in retrospect, we've been hearing about this graffiti for a while, haven't we?) Maybe I should have put it together, but I was completely taken aback.

Third: I absolutely adored the way you started with Jackie's pov. I can't get enough of Jackie. Good stuff!

More soon? Please, please, please! :)

[wendymr]

Thank you! I'm really glad you like the relationship development.

But you should have expected a cliffhanger, really *g* Story by me: cliffhanger. They have a tendency to go together! And, yes, I've been trailing that graffiti for a little while now, and since I seem to be taking some lessons from RTD (tiny mentions of apparently-trivial stuff turning out to be important later) it was bound to become important ;)

I'm glad you liked Jackie; she really is one of my very favourite supporting characters.

[slyreflection]

Oh. My.
Hell.

I hope Jack survives just finding that out, much less everything that's going to happen -_-.

[wendymr]

Oh, yeah, this could certainly be hard for Jack :)

Jackie Tyler and tea save the day again! Thank goodness for her astute maternal instincts.

I enjoyed seeing the relationship of our OT3 progress with sleeping together, and I especially liked that it was just sleeping at this point. As nice as sexy fun time can be, I think Jack needed the quieter intimacy of sleep more.

Oh dear! I knew the graffiti was going to become important at some point, but kidnapping the Doctor is very bad indeed. Worse, aliens who take certain numbers of people and set ultimatums come uncomfortably close to the operating tactics of the 456, so I suspect Jack may find the situation especially difficult.

[wendymr]

Oh, yes, Jackie and her tea :) Glad you liked her!

And of course there had to be cuddles and nice stuff if Jack was going to be hurt; hurt inevitably leads to comfort. Well, unless you're RTD and writing increasingly-angsty episodes!

Yep, the graffiti was important. And you're quite correct to draw some parallels here with the 456, although this lot is not the 456... :)

Thank you!
