His eyes are dark; terrible greed and terrible grief and a pinprick of desire.
Oh oh oh, TenToo...

Might be back later if I can be coherent. Afraid I tend to just inhale new installments as if they're chocolate.

[honeynoir]

Heh, coherency is overrated -- I'm quite happy with inhalation! ;)

Oh my god, this is so utterly sad. The human Doctor's sense of loss is something I've been playing with myself this week, so this got me right in the gut. To find out that River is time-ish -- ouch.

That's just heartbreaking. :'(

I totally adored this series.

Ooh! Something you've posted/are going to post? (Am so behind on the flist. /o\)

So glad you liked the series!

[easytheretyger]

Something I haven't posted yet. Needs a bit of a polish, maybe tomorrow if I can get my brain to play ball. It was inspired by your series actually (the bit where he's trying to track down all of the people he knew in the other universe). Then I read this and they're mostly killed by the Cybermen? Gah.

Poor 10.2, I can't reconcile why he would choose to stay there still. Or why Ten would send him there? Annoying episode is annoying.

[honeynoir]

Looking forward to that!! And, well, he's known so many people -- the ones I mentioned him writing to and such are definitely alive. Plus, who knows if he's telling Rose the truth about all of them? He's not exactly ~open. (And now I suddenly remember a brilliant fic where he met alt!Martha, and can't find it. Blah.)

I can only assume Ten didn't want another Doctor around (The Almost People is such a contrast). The in-episode explanation is supposed to be that 10.2/Rose fixes all, I think? I mean, I'll ship it, but it won't be magically perfect.

Ooooh, how fitting an end!

[honeynoir]

I'm glad! :D

I've quite enjoyed this whole series. Very entertaining. And as others have said, the bit about TenII finding out about River being human+ was particularly heart wrenching.

[honeynoir]

Thank you! What are the odds of there being two humans+, eh?
