I knew you would end up posting after midnight. Still, I'm impressed at you keeping this rhythm.
The multicolored scarf is all I can remember of the brief time when Dr. Who was broadcast in Italy, so many years ago - and cricket whites I of course know (it made me wonder whether in the fic human was meant as the opposite of Britons).
It's great to see you going overboard with British English, too.
Could you add a link to the black leather coat?

There's the Doctor in his leather coat.

Considering how late it was, I'm amazed I remembered to do the British English at all. I had meant to write earlier in the day, but got distracted. Work, you know.

"...with their nudity taboos."

Silly humans! :)

Nice.

Thanks! I noticed that Eleven didn't seem too concerned with covering himself while he was changing clothes in the Eleventh Hour.

Wow - the image of the Doctor fighting the Time War *naked* certainly puts a new swing on things! *g*

(P.S. Typo: made his (HIM) shake his head)

[karaokegal]

I'm not sure if it's canon or not, but I get the impression that the Time War was over in a matter of minutes if not seconds once the Doctor had decided what to do.

Thanks for the typo catch! I was exhausted...and taking drugs for the back pain.

Great story. Love how you got the 9th Doctor to pick his clothes(At least he didn't tear apart the last Doctor's clothes, unlike the 5th Doctor undoing the 4th's scarf. That scream was deafening from around the world)

Five tore apart Four's scarf?!

[tpeej]

You haven't seen that one? Sorry.

Thanks! I'm mostly a New Who person, but I find the matter of the various Doctors and their signature clothing to be fascinating. I really liked the way 11 took the time to stop being "raggedy" before he took on the Atraxi.

:D I love this so much <3 what a fantastic look at the doctor and a really interesting take on him!

Thanks! Written under the influence of pain, exhaustion an drugs, but not half bad considering.
