That was too beautifully heartbreaking. :( I have to praise you for the bit that recalls the people that died in front of him, that was very poignant.

Excellent.

Thank you. <3 There are a lot more people who've died in front of him, but I thought it was best to keep it to just a couple major ones.

Gorgeous imagery, and so heartbreaking. I do love the mentions of the past. :( Love it.

Don't cry, after he wakes up, Donna walks in with candy and a puppy, and all is well.

I'd like to point out that it took me so long to reply because I was writing my own character death fic (spoilers!) and my brain rather asploded from too much angst at the same time ( ... )

Too much angst is indeed a cause for brain asplosion ( ... )

Oh, don't worry, I didn't think they seemed too similar at all. When someone's bleeding to death there's only so many ways to describe it, you know?

And we should be friends! I must rectify this situation immediately! *friends*

Sure, I'm happy to try and help, send me a PM anytime! Or you're welcome to e-mail me directly if you want, adriana.divolpe@gmail.com

And sure it's appropriate to say. ;) I thank you heartily for sharing your thoughts. :)

While this was agonisingly painful (and Ten swearing did catch me by surprise because I honestly expected it to be Donna), I love the way Donna's thoughts swung and jumped and danced between such different but still loosely linked points. Ten's denial was perfectly in character, of course, and tragically beautiful. Very well written!

Thank you very much. I'm sort of wondering whether I should take that swearing out, maybe it does seem a bit out of place. Thanks again.

It's your choice and your fic! By all means leave it in if you feel it suits your version of the Doctor.
