I'm glad you enjoyed the story enough to rec it. I enjoyed writing it very much; the essays on meditation and labyrinths provided information that fit beautifully with what I wanted. I've always wondered how much sense they made to other people. The bit in quote above the third chapter still fits perfectly to my mind: the Master as the Minotaur and the Doctor as Mithras.
*coff* I won't pretend, mind you, that I understand all that author intended in his piece. I simply picked out what spoke to me.

It's been one of my favourites for awhile now. It's probably one of my favourite Tegan stories on Teaspoon. That time she spends in the TARDIS is odd, and I really like what you did with it.

Re: the Mithras thing, I'm not sure I do either. lol Still, it worked on a mythic level. I'm glad you wrote it.
