Pendulum (8/9)

[vail_kagami]

Rating: R
Pairing: AU!Master/Doctor (10), Jack/Doctor
Warnings: Dark
Summary: In which the Doctor discovers that not all is lost yet.

The Doctor’s hands were trembling.

They often were, these days. By now he could hardly recall when they hadn’t, but today the trembling was getting worse along with the pain in his head; a dull, insistent throbbing

8/9? Is this the first time that we have had a definite number? I can't remember.

This chapter felt a bit like a swansong- do you have anything planned after this or is that top secret? :D

The ending was so sweet- Ican attribute no negative connotations to it, which is shocking considering the Master is involved! The effort that the Doctor put into getting his senses back and absolving Jack was heartbreaking. Aaargh- can't wait to read more.

Thank-you for sharing! xXx

Yes, it's the first time I determined how many chapters there will. I had the whole thing planned from the beginning, but it's always hard to say how long it'll be in the end. So the last part might be slightly longer than the others, depending on how many extra scenes randomly pop into being.
Thanks for the feedback!

you updated! It was beautiful in a heart breaking way ♥
I can't see how this could end happily with one chapter to go but I'm hoping for the Doctor anyways

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thank you! I'll try to get the next chapter started today, though it might take a few days to finish it.

Woot! An update! *happy dance*
This chapter was a roller coaster of up and downs! Now I'm worried about the last chapter D: Can't wait to read it!

Thanks for the comment!
Writing thischapter also was a roller coaster. The next one will probably be worse. I'll get it started today.

Wow, just one chapter left, and I really have no idea how this is going to end, but I'm afraid it's going to make me sad. I feel so sorry for the Doctor. Nice chapter.
