I just had to check this out when I saw you had written - SHOCKER - 11! Loved it. It was very sweet, sad, nostalgic, and actually made me feel connected to 11, which I so haven't (he's a bit of a doofus in my opinion).

One other thing that stood out for me was how well this has written. Oh, how far you have come, my friend, since writing sex scenes you didn't want to. ;) This made me proud to read.

Love you!

Kath! This was such sweet feedback! And frankly, I'm touched that you even read it in the first place, since I know DW fandom isn't really your thing!

LOL, yes...me writing Eleven is a bit shocking. I think one person has already asked me if pigs are flying today? But it IS an Eleven fic mostly about Ten, soooo?

And I'm REALLY shocked and touched by your comment that it makes you feel connected to Eleven, because I think my biggest struggle in writing this was that I had the plot bunny...but I had no concept of how to write Eleven, because I just don't feel like he has much character yet. So the fact that this helped you is pretty awesome, in my mind. Thank you, m'dear!!!!

Look at you, writing Eleven! I admit I was a bit shocked to see this. And then instantly curious! And I thought this was a very interesting and thoughtful transition for the character. I especially liked the detail of Ten putting his feet up on the console but Eleven's feet no longer reaching. Overall a very nice fic, I hope this inspires you further in whatever you might what to write next!

LOLOL! Yeaaaaaah.... A bit shocking, huh? For what it's worth, the inspiration came from the prompt, not the show. I don't think I'm going to make a HABIT of writing Eleven. I wouldn't mind writing a bit more Ten though, if I can find the time/focus. Which I'm not sure is going to get kick started by this just because of LIFE. Bah! Stupid busy life ;)

Thanks for reading! I'm touched that you did! :)

Oh, I love this! It's actually such an Eleven thing to do that it amuses me. So clever and crazy and completely mad, really, but adorable just the same. And heartbreaking, to think how hard he tried to find a way to get just a little in the past. I like to think that when the world started collapsing yet again, the show somehow got to them. Sigh.

Oh! This was brilliant! I absolutely LOVE that it was Eleven but it was really all about Ten. Great transition piece and it's exactly what the actual series was missing - the emotion and the connection to the previous person he was.

I love the description you used to illustrate how everything had changed. In particular, this part here:

Looking around the room, his eyes no longer lingered on a spot where Rose had one stood, laughing at him with her tongue peeking from her teeth. Martha's red jacket no longer hung over the edge of a coral arm, and the console buttons weren't the same ones that Donna pressed, struggling to learn how to fly his ship.Awwww all three of them are mentioned and this passage just completely made my heart ache for him. Poor Doctor ( ... )
