Thanks very much for quoting back at me. I did like that part! For me it contrasts who the Doctor used to be with who he became as Ten2, but yet, how the same he is.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it!

Do you like the idea that Ten2 has the "soul" part of Ten riding around with him now? (I was curious to know if that came across.)

I just read your drabble series and really liked it. I especially like the very first one about why Nine took her to see the end of the world, and then wouldn't explain himself!! and the very last one, about how Ten's all-consuming love went to his double, making him no longer split, and leaving Eleven at peace. That's a great reading!!

It's funny how metaphysical I had to get about it. :P

But i do think Eleven is more at peace than his predecessors were.... I guess I'm a bit cruel to prefer the more passionate versions!

This was just beautiful. I'll have to look up that book you mentioned.

Thanks for your comment -- I'm so glad you enjoyed.

I got a copy of Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible for about $5 over ebay. It has received very mixed reviews. I liked it, but it is less about the Doctor and more about Timey Wimey contortions, the Tardis, and the ancient history of Gallifrey. I thought it was fun read a book, like Lungbarrow (also by Marc Platt) that builds a really crazy atmospheric world in an attempt to generate imaginative backstory for the Time Lords and their way of life. ... So really, my story has nothing to do with it... but it was inspired by the spirit of the novel rather than the content.

Very good the images of ten resolving to become ten2 is fascinating. It is like a seperation between the two but also connected as well.

I always think of Nine's sad but brave goodbye speech, and then Ten saying "I don't want to go" of course is heartbreaking -- so I had to think of Ten living on somehow, and for me it stands to reason that he would be pulled toward that existing body of his, across the void -- and then YAY HAPPY ENDING!!!! thanks very much for reading, this is one of my favorites even though I know it's pretty weird!

Yes! This happened. Canon-wise, I can only believe this or go insane. ;)

This was a gorgeous take on Ten.2 really is Ten, not Ten.2 (and I don't know what I'm really saying here XD ).

I adore this part:

He could have wept at that rose-colored terrycloth robe, flung carelessly over one easy chair. He could have sung out loud the praises of that pair of red trainers, kicked off under the desk.
