Ouch.

Really bitter-sweet. A wonderful look at Human-Ten.

Excellent.

I miss DT :-(

[nicis_anatomy]

Thank you. I have no idea where this came from (this prompt was supposed to be for Josh/Donny *g*). But I like it, too. I always felt sorry for him (and for Rose and for the Doctor ... and especially for Donna) and ... well, I had to work with this ;)
I'm glad it worked and that you like it.

I miss him, too. The show just isn't the same anymore :(

[nakeisha]

Oh, I've had that too, both the not knowing from where the idea came and the the prompt was meant to be for someone else *g* I did too, very much so.

It did.

We haven't watched last night's yet, we'll do it tonight, but we have started to watch the final DT's DVDs - the specials and that really brought it home even more :-(

[nicis_anatomy]

Good to know, I'm not alone here ;)

I think by the time you read this, you have seen the new episode. I liked it more than last week and I think I will watch the rest of the season. But that doesn't chance that fact that the show isn't the same anymore :( Especially, when you watch old episodes *sighs*

Considering English is your second language and this is unbetaed you've done a very good job. I like the concept of this fic, how you've used the count down as a device to their landing on Bad Wolf Bay and Ten2's feelings about his companions not really saying goodbye to him. I also liked him helping Jackie up off the floor - that works in really well emotionally as well as with the next scene where she leads them out of the TARDIS with him following in close behind.

With a bit of betaing I think you could definitely have some potential :) keep writing and good luck!

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked it. And I will try to improve my skills. Someday I might get it right. And until then ... I will keep trying ;)
I always had a thing for Jackie and I feel she would have deserved more attention, and when I remembered her leaving with Ten2 (and talking to him) I had to work this little scene into the story. I'm glad it worked.
Thank you ;)

[nicis_anatomy]

I'm not sure. Maybe ;) But I'm really glad you liked this. Thank you!
