Mmmm, seriously, man, so-so good, I never wanted it to end and I was in the verge of tears which practically never happens to me, you had me even doubting she was a hallucination in the middle (I knew she was supposed to be one befohand but still) which is a sign of a very well-written hallucination xD

Gawd I would be too happy if there was something like this in canon, damn you, childen's show, though practically in every popular show the ptotagonist had sex with a hallucination last season (House, Bones, Grey's Anatomy) so RTD would want to be original xDD
“Rose, I gave you up. I turned and I walked away, and I did it because it was right. What could be more obvious than that?”

She shifts on top of him and he stifles a moan. He opens his eyes and finds that she’s got close-her face peering into his. “If you said it,” she says softly.

Hell yes, why is it so hard for you to understand, you bloody git? *pokes him but than pets gently*

I like to think Rose helps him even when far away and "That name keeps me fighting" didn't lose

Thanks! Hallucinations are both tricky/fun because you want to write the characters so they sound IC, but it was also very much in the back of my mind that this was also Ten's fantasy version of Rose, so all her actions would be coloured by what he wanted/needed from her rather than how she might actually react in the situation. So I'm glad it worked for you.

I haven't actually watched any of those, if you can believe it. But you're right, clearly it is too popular to be

I haven't actually watched any of those, if you can believe it.
I know you don't watch them, otherwise I wouldn't be telling you this because you'd already knew ;D It just really cracked me up last season that,like, three big famous shows I watch (but not necessarily like ;)) had fake!sex in them practically simultaneously, that means they didn't steal the idea from each other, must be something in the air, I guess XD

I think it would be a lot harder for him to burn and destroy stuff if even a part of him was wondering what Rose would say.
The funny thing is, so far crazy!Ten didn't do much burning or destroying, he was trying to save lives, after all, in a douchebaggery way, but still, I don't understand this bunch who thinks RTD turned him "OMG INTO A MONSTER" and declares "I DON'T LOVE HIM ANYMORE", way to write off you "favourite" character so easily... *squishes crazy!Ten*

a panicked email about all the sex and how unusual it was for the Doctor.
LOl, he's crazy, let him have take advantage of it ;DD

This was quite dark enough, thank you. Poor, mad, unhappy Doctor.

p.s. dessert-->desert

[goldy_dollar]

Thank you! Poor Doctor, indeed.

Hee, and thanks for pointing that out. Fixed now.

YAAAY HALLUCINATING TEN. Rose is prettier than an Ood.It's really just so sad to watch him swing so wildly out of control, and embrace even the thought of Rose having to see him. Now I am melancholy, but that only means that you are a good writer.

[goldy_dollar]

Yeah, Rose >> Ood. Poor hallucinating Ten. Like he needed me to give him more angst.

Thanks! :D

[johnmayergirl23]

All at once, the longing hits him-that sharp yearning to touchherholdher that he suppressed a long time ago.

*wibbles*

I thought I was excited for hallucinating!Ten, but I wasn't. It's just really sad and makes me want to curl up and watch New Earth for a while. Hrmph.

That being said, it was really quite good, and the ending gave it a plausibility that could place it firmly in canon, if RTD were so inclined. Great job!

[goldy_dollar]

Aww. At certain points while writing this fic, I was definitely going: "OMG, Ten really does not need this right now." New Earth is probably good therapy. :D

Thanks you! :)

[solitary_zero]

Aww, Ten... *huggles* Loved this a lot :D. I really liked how you handled the begining when Rose first appeared. Crazyevil!Ten was at his very worst, but it was brilliantly well written! And I can totally imagine Rose being a bit hardened up against his words and taking them in her stride, so great characterisation there too :3

[goldy_dollar]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it - this fic was quite a bit different from what I normally write.
