I spend the 3rd series feeling so much sympathy, empathy, LOVE for Martha. This is brilliant and beautiful. The "Burn with me" line is just....WHEW!
Once again, you utterly rock my world. :)

[paperclipbitch]

That is because Martha is completely and utterly AWESOME (in my opinion, anyway). Thank you so much :)

No argument on Martha's Awesomeness. We are completely on the same page for that. (Hopefully therefore earning me dispensation for the other thing.)

Yay! 'Cause I know a couple of people who I get on well with etc etc and they don't like Martha, and that is very sad.

(I will always forgive you for The Other Thing. I'm very open and accepting[ish] around here!)

Besides, you get CJH soon and therefore will get to see the awesomeness of the Owen/Ianto fight, which won't redeem him but might make you feel better about the whole Jack/Ianto thing I'm pretending doesn't really exist.

Wow, this is fabulous. Intriguing, and yet very in character for both of them. Will bookmark and pimp in future. Nice job :D

*grins* Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked.

I very much like! Very well written and really gives a good sense of the pain the Doctor's going through - it's funny, but most of his regenerations never really gave the sense that they hurt him much. I guess it's because DW was considered partly aimed at the kiddies - but you would think that dying would sting a tad, wouldn't you?

Ten does seem to have gone through a lot of pain in the last year, though :( I'm glad you ended on such an upbeat note. Lovely friendship.

[paperclipbitch]

Thank you veru much!

you would think that dying would sting a tad, wouldn't you?

You would, actually, but I suppose it might be a bit too traumatic if they had him screaming in agony a lot...? But I like how they've let David's Doctor seem more human, at least painwise (if that makes sense). But they should probably be nicer to him next series :)

Oh my goodness - this is good - very angsty, and you can really sense Martha's frustration at not being able to help!

[paperclipbitch]

*grins* Thank you honey. Glad you liked!
