That was a really amazing chapter. So much heart-to-heart talking, and so many truths faced. And I love how it ended. It won't be possible to always, 100%, delight in being a Time Lord, but sometimes faith is a choice you keep on making. I love that he's holding on to the people who will always be there for him, and supporting his father, who has done this for so long.

I think you're right, that Brem's choice is faith, and that it's a constant one. And it's always easier to make a leap of faith if you've got company on it.

This was so sad. Poor Brem, and poor Doctor. (Poor Rose, too.) At least they're talking about it, and have reached a better understanding of each other. Now Brem needs to work things out with Fort. Post again soon, please!

They really needed to talk it out. The truth is they have lots of omnipresent reasons to be sad, and they just keep ignoring all of them.

There is way too much wonderful stuff here to comment on. It's a sign of how deeply you know these characters that you can extract brilliant conversations like these out of them. Every word of it infused with such depth and thoughtfulness and realness. I'm agog.

This completely broke my heart:

Do you think he’s happy? Do you? Maybe you do. Maybe you…Your life is so short. It’s so short. He’s happy now, but he’s normally not. He tries to shield it from us, but it’s so much a part of him that he can’t succeed. When you were trapped, in the other universe, he was so sad it was killing me to feel it.

Aw, thank you. These conversations were written for the first time by an ongoing monologue I had out loud, playing all the parts, while taking a bubble bath. I enjoyed writing them a great deal, precisely because they were so raw and so not my usual banter (for the most part).

Ha, I do that too! Not all the time, but really emotional, gut-wrenching conversations I often have to have with myself out loud before I commit them to paper. Often it's while driving or showering.

Heh. I've totally done it while showering but I'm not allowed to write in my head while driving. I'm scared it'll distract me too much.

OH MY GOSH! This was heart-breakingly beautiful. You write from the soul and touch mine. It has been an absolute pleasure to read this chapter. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed!

This, and the previous chapter, are both full of rawness and were painful to read.

And the fact that Ten is still so lonely inside, without Rose? I - I don’t have words for how that makes me feel :(

earlgreytea68 February 4 2009, 01:35:37 UTC

Thank you! Yes, there is a lot of rawness.

And I feel like loneliness like that the Doctor suffers would take more than a brief blip of happiness with Rose to erase.
