Anni you did a spectacular job with this! I suspected this would be some hallucination or dream or something but you did have me doubting at points. Well done you!
What a great ending. I really enjoyed how you wove 'Solaris' deeply into the plot and the inventive twists you included. I also liked how Rose finally broke free of the twyline but still found herself in deathly peril.
Too right: “Stonnent’s people communicate through the appendage on the back of their bodies. Looks like a stinger. They touch it to the abdomen of the Hwylmnanians and talk telepathically. I misread Stonnent’s intentions. So did you. It reminded me of this book. Learn every language in the universe, translate the rest, and sometimes things are still misunderstood. Sometimes communication isn’t possible at all.”
Thank you for a thought provoking and interesting tale. It was wonderful!
This story was scary and emotional. I thought it was very interesting how in her dreams she picked up on things like the way the Doctor would regenerate. It was an intense read for me! I was glad when she woke up in the end and her Doctor was there was a big relief. Then I wanted him to somehow realize she was thinking of him as more than a friend -- similar to the other truths that were hinted at in her dreams.
I really hope you enjoyed it! There's so much in this comment I want to talk about!
I chose Nine for this story because he's my favorite and I love to write him, but it left me with a lot of challenges. Regeneration was the major issue since at this point in time the audience is aware that Time Lords can regenerate, but Rose isn't. In the corresponding scene from Futurama, Professor Farnsworth calls Fry's return a "regeneration," and since I couldn't think of another word for it, I decided to leave it as it was in the original. So I didn't consider this scene a "leaking through" moment for Rose. It was intended more as a "wishful thinking" sort of thing.
Then I wanted him to somehow realize she was thinking of him as more than a friendMe too! I kind of want to answer this by saying that it was too early in their relationship or that I wanted it to be canon complaint or something else along those lines that means I totally planned it this way. But the truth is, I wasn't able to do it gracefully in the time I had allotted
