I REGRET NOTHING.

*cries....just......cries*
I'll be recuperating with hot chocolate and a covers, please don't mind me.
But that was amazing and dark!Doctor is so delicious and rarely done right. And the ending, a glimpse of hope? Just amazing. The death scene was the scene that got me the most though.... finding out what the toxin was just after she had died.... heartbreaking...
You've done it again!

Ugh you have no idea, I never ever do character death for a reason. The reason being I sort of ugly sobbed my way through writing this.

[gidget_zb]

Aww thank you :)

Oh god. Oh god my heart, ow.

I think I hate you but also love you a little bit. This? is beautiful and heartbreaking and terrible and wonderful all at once. Lovely work.

[gidget_zb]

Haha I'm getting a lot of 'I hate you's' in response. My response to that? 'No, you don't!'

[bendingwind]

Sounds about right :D

I'm crying. but at the same time, so awed that you wrote River in the library as a ganger. wonderful construction. devastation in the darkest way possible.

Aww thank you. I of course, had to make the gifset semi-canon compliant, because my brain works like that lol.
