Nyssa was one of my favorite companions and always believed her and Tegan balanced each other.

Thanks for sharing :)

Oh, hon! This is so awesome. I adore it. Always so excited to see Nyssa/Tegan fic and this is extra special because it's Nyssa/Tegan fic for meeee!

It's sweet and sad and hits all the right notes in their relationship. You write a fantastic Tegan and now I feel like rewatching all of her stories...I can hear and see her saying all of this, especially this line: “You’re leaving me for a leper colony.” - oh, break my heart and make me laugh at the same time, Tegan! I also loved the imagery of this bit: “Oh.” Nyssa blinked at her, inquiringly, and Tegan laughed and kissed her nose. Too sweet. :)

And thank you for the happy ending!! Jack and his teleport bracelet are the best thing to ever happen to the DW universe. :D

It took me SO LONG to come up with that ending, actually. Because I didn't want to end it on the downer of "you left me for a leper colony" (also, I'm glad I wasn't the only one laughing at that line...)

Yay! I'm so glad you like it. I think this was my first time writing Tegan/Nyssa, so thanks for the prompt--I quite enjoyed it. :)

Outtakes Chronicles: The Story of Tegan and Nyssa. Love it! Tegan and Nyssa are beautifully captured. I also like how their different perspectives are fitted in, for instance Tegan remarking about how they never seem to have time to see consequences of their adventures. Just rings true all over the place. Has to be my fav Nyssa/Tegan fic ever. :)

Oh yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed this! (And I really need to mention it on one or two of the comms, don't I...) Thank you so much for reading and for commenting!

[time_spectator]

You should, it's a gem. :)

I really liked this. Sad and sweet and lovely all at once. And it makes me miss them so. (It might be time to get some audios again or something)

[wishfulaces]

I haven't even purchased any of the audios with Tegan in them...really should get on that. But yay, I'm glad you liked this!

This reminded me so sharply, so poignantly of the show and these companions. Thank you.
