This is brilliant. Very very original and inventive piece.

[cardiogod]

Thanks! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it and that you thought it was original. I really love things with different POVs. I'm pretty sure my favorite Doctor Who character to write has been the TARDIS, just because it's such a different way of thinking, because it stretches me so much. And writing the angel was really cool, too, for a lot of the same reasons.

Anyway, thanks for reading!

It took me way too long to figure out what was actually happening, and once I did I fell completely in love with this premise and your execution. Brilliant job!

[cardiogod]

Thank you! I figured it would probably take people a while to catch on (honestly, I wondered if anyone would get it at all), but I'm sorry if it didn't seem to make sense. Glad you liked it, though!

How much do I love this? River and a weeping angel is probably the most unlikely comparison ever, but it works and it works so well. I just want to rant about it but too spellbound by the magic. Even down to the cadence and flow. It's beautiful and it hurts. Brilliant.

I'm really glad you think it works; I wasn't sure if it was too much of a stretch, but it came from my brain and I just couldn't shake it, you know?

Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Brilliant concept. It took me a couple of paragraphs to get the POV, and then it all just fell it to place beautifully. The comparison of River and the angel resonated so well.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad that the comparison worked for you. I love River to the end of the universe and she just KILLED me in that episode.
