[mind_the_muse] - What is the hardest decision you've ever made?

There is never enough time, she thinks. And it is always so terribly fickle.

It comes and goes and never gives warning. For one so vastly in tune with it, Time has ways of slipping past her without notice, of confusing and surprising, of helping and hurting alike. It is mercurial and errant and follows no set path, no linear progression, and she can

Wow. I love the format you've used. And just, absolutely heart breaking. How hard it must be to know what will happen and to have to send him out there. Knowing everything that was and is and can ever be. The TARDIS is so strong, and so alive,and you totally bring that across. My heart is just breaking for the TARDIS. I love the language you use as well. It just flows perfectly.

The TARDIS and the Doctor really do = love. <3

Thank you. I wanted to try something different with format, so I'm glad it worked out well.

It was Nine's line in Parting of the Ways that made me even consider this as a possibility, about seeing everything that is and was and ever could be, or something like that, and I figure, the TARDIS is steeped in the Time Vortex, she must have at least some precognitive abilities. Which got me wondering just how often she's known the Doctor was about to die and just how hard it is to let him.

They do. They really, really do, and I love them.

I was thinking of Parting of the Ways when I read this too. I was thinking of Rose's line when she was the Bad Wolf and says something along the lines of "but why does it burn?" (hurt?). Which just made me hurt so much more for the TARDIS, because it really must be a huge burden. And I can't imagine what she'll do when the Doctor finally reaches the end of his regenerations.

I love them too. They are the ultimate OTP

Funny you should mention that. I actually wrote my take on that scene a while ago. It's my personal belief that the TARDIS possessed Rose during that whole scene and knew she'd burn Rose in doing so. But that is neither here nor there.

When the Doctor finally dies, I fully expect her to either die with him or go to the TARDIS Graveyard and wither away, both of which make me wibble something fierce.

Ohgosh, they totally are.

Oh! That is lovely and haunting and so damn sad! My Seven! My TARDIS! And yet there is also a little joy in the Eight.

He wears a new face, a pleasant one, a different one, an ugly one, an old one -- it is a face, and she has known it for some time, even before he took it.
It is his face, just as surely as it is not, and as she feels with each regeneration, she welcomes him as she mourns.

The whole thing is amazing but that's my fav bit.

I love the idea that the TARDIS is precognitive. How hard it must be, to let him out that door, knowing what is about to happen.

Gah, no crying!

Thank you very much, though. Your comments always make me smile and blush, really.

Her precognizance is one of those things I've always fiddled around with and thought about, but never did much with. Then timewill_tell requested I write the TARDIS' perspective of Seven's death and I was like ... well, that works. I think it works well with Seven, too, since he's all about making choices and accepting consequences. And I know timewill_tell does some precog stuff with him, so.

At any rate, thank you very much. *snugs*
