He remembers the moment the transduction barrier was ripped from the sky and the Daleks came screaming through, the horrified disbelief of it; one colonist in particular sticks in his mind, a wild-eyed waif of a man who looked equally horrified of everything, the Kraxil and the Daleks and the Doctor alike, who had seized long grasping fingers at the Doctor's coat and babbled something to him as the barrier went down, how it would all end in flames.
And I still didn't expect this:
The Doctor stares at himself with choked breath, two heartbeats, four, and the sky tears open

bah, I'm also incoherent. But seriously. You're handling the timelines extremely well, and the descriptions toward the end are untouchable. I can't believe there's only one chapter left, because I can't imagine this stopping, but alas, all good things must come to an end, I suppose.
All of that was incredible. I can hardly believe what I'm seeing. I'm anxiously awaiting the next (and last!) chapter.
The minute you mentioned the wild-eyed waif I knew it was HIM ALL ALONG. It's pretty brilliant, as is the last minute save by the Master and oh, Jenny and Donna fighting in the trenches.
But wait. If they don't undo Arcadia, and it all happened exactly as it had before, now how are they going to save Romana and Gallifrey?
