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 at Jack with eyes that show only blackness. “Now I can be anything.” Wow. It gave me chills.
Quick spelling check: Inerala’s grown rustles as she steps beside him. Gown?
Okay, back to the story...
The Doctor’s hand. Between his legs. The Doctor’s body, offered to him as a prize.
The Doctor, who would rather die than be used like this.
That is my favorite part thus far. You just get these characters. And the boy who saw the battle? I see how it all came around full circle. I think I love the irony best of all. Yes, Jack was very brave, but it wasn't nearly as epic as the villagers made it out to be. It was just...heartbreaking. *sniff*
I can't express to you how amazing this story is. You're doing such a brilliant job and truly showing your talent as an author. :) I'm anxiously awaiting the next part. Thanks for sharing!
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*
