this absolutely broke my heart. i think that i resolutely did not think about what happened immediatly after that wretched scene. this, i think, was a rather accurate possibility.
god... Doomsday. I can barely bring myself to watch that episode.
*hugs*

I think I'm starting to sense a pattern here: I write a fic, I break your heart. Sorry I keep doing that to you. I've got...um...duck tape ( ... )

You must have had a pretty bad day. I hope it got better. The description of this is heartbreaking. I never liked death but I know what it looks like. Good job.

redknightalex January 31 2011, 14:11:00 UTC

Bad day it sure was. I think writing helped...must have as I finally got some sleep.

I'm good at heartbreaking scenes (I'd like to think), easier to write than fluffy as a pillow scenes, but thank you very much for the compliments. And I wish I could say I've never seen death either but a few years ago I waited by my grandfather's bedside as he died in a VA hospital. I'm sure I'll write about that when it gets to be that time of year (coming soon, unfortunately), but thankfully I've probably never seen the death you might have seen. Death is ugly but the most natural thing in the world. How strange is that.

Alright, back to the topic at hand: thank you.

Death is natural and I came terms with death last year it doesn't frightend me as much anymore. As far as what I have seen sometimes it is best locked away. I can relate to some of the Doctor's history that might be why I adore him so.

I almost didn't read this because of the pairing, but thankfully you didn't go there. What you did instead was utterly, and heartbreakingly, beautiful; it really was true to the type of grief he would have been feeling. It is clear as day why you identify so strongely with him.

redknightalex January 31 2011, 14:42:26 UTC

I'm quite surprised you read it too, and because of the pairing, but I'm glad you did anyway. :)

(And, frankly, if it had been the Doctor dealing with Donna's...um, "death", I would have used the Doctor/Donna pairing too. It's grief over a lover/friend/partner, however you want to interpret things, and it's a pairing thing. Especially when it comes to "Doomsday" and "Journey's End", kinda has to be.)

It is clear as day why you identify so strongely with him.

And you're just sorting this out, huh? ;) Yeah, I love emo!Ten, mostly because I'm emo!me and the two fit. So when I watched this episode again I had to do, write, something, anything, to get it out. And it was, and wasn't, about Rose: it was about losing, and heartbreak, and just being wrecked from the inside out. I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if it wasn't entirely your cup of tea. Be warned: if I ever watch JE again, I might do a Donna meltdown too. It's a distinct possibility.

Thank you for your warm comment, it means a lot coming from you, my lovely Doctor/Donna shipper. :

*brings out angst!fic kit* Alright, I've got the duct tape for broken hearts and tissues for the crying. You'll be all patched up in no time. :)

And as for your word of angst, I'll just say thank you.

Well my mother always taught me to be kind to strangers (well, at least not when I was a little girl, then it was stay away) so I'm glad to be of service, even if they are virtual tissues.

*blushes* Thanks...again. :)

You are, like, the QUEEN of ANGST. I bow to you. You awe me.

redknightalex February 1 2011, 03:41:54 UTC

Hmm, should I go for the humble or the egotistical route. Tough choice.

You flattery me, really. Don't suppose you'd believe that I have a fluffy plot bunny involving Rose and Ten? Yeah, hard to imagine (and I'm talking sugary sweet fluffiness with a little bit of sexy built in) but then I get an angst plot bunny, it bites at my heels, and then it just spills out. Of course, I'm still working on yours. Seriously, I mean it, it's always the next one on my list.... Really really!

But I will take that QUEEN of ANGST title from you. Do I get my crown? ;)
