I never plan to cry on Thursdays -- but then I read this little jewel... *bawls*

T'was lovely!

Heh. It's Sunday now. Does that help at all? ;)

Thank you, both for reading and for commenting. :)

Very, very good.; strong unsentimental language for an emotionally wrenching event. You wrote it well!

[beautifulntime]

Thank you, and I'm of course a bit sorry as well. :/

A horrible awful bad situation, but it was so well written. You wring every sad feeling out of me as I read this. I just feel so sorry for Ten. Like he needs more angst in his life. But I love the way that he's willing to do what she wants. It is such a great sacrifice and something only a best mate would do.

Oh, that is *heartbreaking*--poor Doctor, and poor Donna. :-(

Re the whited-out words in your header: white words are visible for those who don't use white backgrounds in their journals. I have a light beige journal background so I could see the whited-out words. You need to white out the background too. This code will work (be sure to replace the [ ] with < >):

I was crying from the beginning to the end, this was just so heartbreaking and beautifully done. The sad irony of it all; the one time they take a trip that doesn't require a whole lot of running, this happens.
