Awww... I'll drink to the ones that get left behind! I'm not very familiar with Fitz, but I can relate to this story. It was beautiful.

Fitz sighed and gazed into his glass, looking for the alcohol that had mysteriously vanished. True, he’d chosen this life. But when the Doctor had asked him which time to drop him in he hadn’t imagined he’d have to stay here forever.

Years had passed before he’d slowly come to accept the fact that his friend wasn’t coming back to pick him up. He was most likely dead but Fitz preferred not to think about that. In his favoured world the bastard had simply decided he didn’t want him anymore and shuffled off to find someone else to travel with him. This way Fitz could curse him for is neglect and his heart didn’t break quite as much every time he thought of him.Ugh... You know I love my emotional angst. That was beautifully heartbreaking ( ... )

Look at the lovely icon quazonic made of my pic!

Just after I posted this I found a Fitz/Eight entry at who_otp that also included some quotes from the books. Read them, and then read the books! (I know what I'll hunt for now!)

The way I see it the Doctor went off to fight in the war and got rid of Fitz before he did so, so Fitz didn't actually want to leave but had no choice.
I originally planned to write some harmless Fitz/Ten sex because Fitz had never gotten any sex in my stories, but I had that idea in the back of my head that Fitz would know it was the Doctor, and there was no way he'd let him just vanish again. So this ending popped up, - but if Fitz wanted to travel with him again there couldn't possibly be any sex before. The Doctor probably would not have taken him. So I settled for harmless kissing, which was much easier to write anyway.

That icon is gorgeous! :)

I read all the Eight/Fitz lines from those books. I'm going to have to go on a book hunt! That's pretty close to shippy! I didn't realize Fitz was with him for so long.

Ah, I knew the Time War was coming up for Eight. It makes sense that he'd leave Fitz when he went to fight.

You know I love harmless kissing. ;)

This was great writing!

Guess what, I've just wasted a lot of money for books from the UK. Now I'm exitedly waiting for them to arrive.
(Or course I ended up ordering much more than planned. I felt like a little girl in a candy shop...)

Aww, yay, Fitz gets to go with him! (Unless the not-so-happy ending kicks in afterwards...)

Anyway. I like Fitz!

Lovely work. Fitz and Ten go together very well and you've written both of them wonderfully.

Good for Fitz! I was feeling so sad for him during this story, and then he figured it out, and ran, and found the TARDIS... and and... wow that made me happy. Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

This is completely wonderful.

Your Fitz is perfect!
