I know. I don't want to believe it, but I know it's going to tear my heart out and leave it there to bleed. It's more likely to be 10x worst than worst though, y'know Moffat's power comes from the tears of the fans!
Eleven is my first regeneration you know like in real time. And he's actually my favorite too although all of them have something special. (I've still yet to watch all of them actually, but I've seen bits and pieces or a full episode of all except for 8.) So I'm still dealing with the fact that Matt's leaving. I wish he'd stay one more season, but oh well. I'm sure Peter will be amazing and with time I'll be all thrilled by him too.
Oh, Moffat gets all this flack it seems, but I love that he really brings in hard emotions and all that. He's not perfect of course, but I think he's done some storylines very well and I'm excited...and yes a bit scared, and very emotional to see what he does this time.
I know. Honestly I'm having a hard time with it too, but this was one of those stories that demanded to be written and uh...the music from Murray Gold. Oh it just captures me all the time.
Fitting to respond here after Matt's last day of filming the show. Or at least it's a good excuse for my lateness. :)
You hit the nail on the head for me while I was writing. Murray Gold's soundtrack made writing this come alive, but the whole need to write a regeneration fic came from I'm still dealing with the fact that Matt won't be the Doctor after Christmas.
I think Peter Capaldi will be wonderful, but I'm honestly a person who watches the show for the actor as much as the character. And as much as all the Doctors are wonderful, Matt Smith's acting and character just really gets to me.
Eleven and Clara's storyline, I feel, didn't get enough time. I'm going to enjoy their last episodes together, but I feel like I'm kind of clinging onto them too. I'm going to miss Eleven and Clara.
Thank you so much for you lovely kind words and for sharing, and know I really do agree. I'm not ready for Eleven to leave. My first real time regeneration and this is going to be hard...but guess we'll cope. Hugs*
This fic was pretty striking, really powerful emotions and quite lyrical writing and imagery. The contrast at the beginning was really striking, with the delightful, bubbly happiness and fun at first, and then the pain and terror suddenly tearing through that special moment. Flash of emotion to lightning alteration?-loving the phrasing and the little inner rhyme. I liked the reference to Clara's echoes and their latent presence within her, the parallel between Oswin being turned into a Dalek and their current situation. The silver/sharpness/pain theme was really nicely used, quite breath-taking. I loved Clara's terror at the notion of becoming a Cyberman (Squeeze them out like sponge’s water of life released. Can I kiss that sentence.) and the Doctor saving her, pushing her out of the way, but taking her place. Her utter confusion was very well handled too, she couldn't even tell if the screams were her own… I loved the way she listened to him and ran, at first, but then you used the Akhaten quote and the theme of not letting go, not

Oh your feedback, all the awards. You are always so kind to take the time to express thoughts that make a writer think 'wow...so that did work' etc
