Thanks for thinkign so. It was weird, yet oddly fun to write. And the poor Doctor is a bit confused and trying his best to sort out the baggage Reschal left him with.
It was wierd in that you effectively robbed romance from the sex, made it a need of his and almost a selfish one as we are not aware of how his partners feel, and you get the idea that what he learned from his marriage was that sex was a necessary evil, which makes his coupling sad and cold.
I robbed the romance out of sex, that's a good way of putting it. And we are never given glimpses into their mindset, as it is completely from the Doctor's POV.
The person I got the prompt from asked if I'd go more in depth with some of the sexual situations with the companions. I think it'd be interesting to get into their heads while this was going on and make it a small series type thing.
I'm glad people this year find my fic creepy. Last year I didn't think my story was dark enough or that it was a subtle dark, and it must have gone through in the writing, because that's what I was told :P
So, thank you for finding it deeply creepy.
The stylistic choice was what I was afraid people wouldn't like this year. When I began writing it I think I called it a dark, weird comedy story. Since half of it is written in a fun, romp-like way which is very much told, not shown, while the other half is very juvenile but goes a little more in depth. I thought it worked when put together, and I'm glad other people think so too.
Oh that is very good. I love the layering style and how one story begins where the other one ends. I found your characterizations plausible for the background you built, very much a cycle of use. I looked forward to every companion pairing to see your take on their relationships and I wasn't disappointed.
This Doctor must take great care in picking his companions and he certainly can never look back in on them.
I am happy people loved the style this story was written in. I was unsure about it when I noticed how it was coming out, as it wasn't a conscious choice of mine. This story surprised me with that. And it was fun to think of what pairings to use and how I would do so.
