Wow. I may not know much about Who, but I know that was amazingly depressing. Some of my favorite lines:

"It was growing quickly fueled by papers, from the highest level of bureaucracy, the last of its kind, like you..."

I love the way you sneak in that little sharp jab so easily and effortlessly to add a whole other level of pain to the moment.

"Already your mind is betraying you though, because sometimes you forget the details of her face, her favoured hand gestures, the slight twitch of her lips."

So very vivid using so few words. Brilliant. I don't know how else to say it.

He laughed. Though you’re crying, and your hearts seem to crumble like your picture of her, and it looks so much like what you imagined she looked like dying.

Now that just hurts. I positively love the way you're able to so almost casually throw in these really powerful lines into your story and make it that much better.

Amazing story. You are truly the angst queen!

Feeling too ill to be eloquent today, but I agree with everyone else. Sad and nostalgic and perfectly in character, loved it.
