This is lovely! Very quietly sad underneath Mels' bravado. My favorite parts are these:

She tolerates playing with the dolls; she gets to be the phone box.

Of course Mels would want to be the phone box! :)

there’s a rumour at school saying he cried a little when he read about the fall of Troy

Aww, so perfect. Nice way to show his lingering memories.

Aw, thank you! :D

What a lovely insight to little Mels mind the need to be sympathic but also her fighting the need to destroy the Doctor.

Well Don

[honeynoir]

Thank you! I'm happy you think so!

You just made my inner Classics major smile.
Yay! Awesome major!

this did help settle her a bit in my mind.
I'm glad; that's why I wrote it, as well, tbh.

[honeynoir]

Do I sense a fellow Classicist?
Alas, no! It's probably what I *should* have chosen, though.

TY!

Fantastic job fleshing out such a sketchily-drawn character and period in the Pond family's life. I've had a hard time deciding what to make of her, but you've managed to give a picture that's both sympathetic and disturbing and also quite real. I'm also rather enamored of this style of fic you've developed with all these wispy, dream-like snatches of moments that build up a picture of everything that's going on very economically. It's like impressionism or something : )

Also, Mels always getting to be the TARDIS when they play dolls! Lol.

Me too. Did not expect Mels. And yay for sympathetic and disturbing!

Oh, I like that! Tbh, I'm always reallyclose to adding an A/N apologising for the lack of, well, actual prose, but then I tell myself it's a style. /cool story

The TARDIS is clearly the best one! (Also it occasionally lands on the Doctor. Purely by accident, of course.)

Have actually done that myself, on several occasions. But would tell you (and myself, if I had any sense) that that's silly and it's a perfectly good way of writing and people can just deal with it : )

Ha! Of course.

So true. Deal with it, or don't read. ;)

You can tell me, and I'll tell you, okay?
