Oh wow. Scary Time Lord powers + Jack's love of the Doctor + tragic choices + clever time stuff + aliens = Very happy Blackletter. This has all the things I love most about the series with all the angst, blood, and sexuality that they wouldn't be allowed to show on pre-watershed BBC. So it's like the show *only better*.
The story turns out longer than expected.
I'm totally OK with that. All the more for me to read.
Wow, that's some compliment, as I believe the show is pretty damn awesome. Thanks a lot!
Of course longer story means more for me to write. After yesterday's I-want-to-finish-this-chapter marathon I just want a break... But expect the (certainly) last part sometime in the next days. Tonight I don't have time but tomorrow I'm back at it, promise.
I am absolutely fine with the whole 'longer than expected thing' except for the part where I don't know how it ends yet. That is causing problems for me, as I am now a bit too far on the wrong side of desperate.
Absolutely loving this series, you write the characters beautifully.
I haven't see the episode yet but I'm sure it's better than this story. Anyway. Your review once again blew me away. I squeed, literally. Thanks for pointing out the typos - tired as I was yesterday I'm surprised there weren't much more. I have written almost 4000 words last night, wanting to finish this chapter so you can read it. Because today my friend is here again and there's no time to write. Also, I'm tired. With all that writing there wasn't much time left for sleep. Oh, and I'm exited we get some more Hugo in Stuck! It's such a lovely little creature you created there, and Hugo + Doctor means sweetness!
Oh, your squee about seductive!evil!Doctor made me happy. You know that scene was totally for you, don't you?
Once again, I can't express to you the love I have for this story. Best Jack line: “Does it look like I care?” Jack interrupts her. “I’m going to help him! And then I’ll kick his ass!” Go Jack! The Doctor does tend to have that effect on people.
One of my favorite things about this story is how you explore a side not often seen with the Doctor. You explore the powers he possesses that he rarely uses. “It hasn’t,” Jack replies. “The powers are the Doctor’s.” Wow. It's a scary thought, but I admire the Doctor's control.
“I didn’t mean to. My apologies. Your friend was very brave when he sacrificed himself to keep it from becoming a god. Together with your inability to die he finally offered us a way to get rid of this evil for good. Your names will be honoured on this planet forever.”
There isn’t much consolation in that.
Guh. That was heartbreaking. Like being a hero matters if you're dead.
This part scared the heck out of me: “I could have been a god,” the Doctor continues before he turns around and looks
( ... )
Thanks for all that praise - it makes all the work worth it, really. I spend all night writing yesterday, wanting to finish this for you, because I knew there'd be no time to write today. During proofreading at five in the morning my internal spell-checker kind of failed. I got even further than this, but the last scene didn't fit in the word limit anymore. Maybe it's better this way, because that scene ends with... well, you know. I've written the speech you've been waiting for and hope it's any good. I also hope you'll finish your challenge-fic soon, as I'm dying to read it!
I fail at doing anything at 5:00 in the morning. LOL
This was fabulous. I want you to know that. :)
I also hope you'll finish your challenge-fic soon, as I'm dying to read it!
I know it's going to be written after the challenge ends. Real life is kicking my behind at the moment. *le sigh* Hopefully I'll have some teasers soon! *hugs*
