Vail :D Vail, Vail, Vail... I do love the smell of angst in the morning.

This is shaping up to be fabulous, as ever. My only lament is that it will only be in two parts, but judging from your other two-parters it might as well be a fifty-part epic from all of the angst, hurt/comfort and just plain, gorgeous Jack/Doctorness that you take us through.

I love this. Everything was unfolding at break neck speed and yet I was just urging Jack to be faster and for the Doctor to be more coherent.

Your OMCs are seemingly on a par with early-John Hart, which is worrying. They are convincing and I am truly worried for our lovely, brave heroes.

On the edge of my seat waiting for more. Thank-you for sharing! xXx

Thank you!
I'm currently writing two auction-fics alternately, so this will be continued once the next chapter of the Merlin story is finished. Which might happen tonight.
I know where this is going, but I'm not sure how dark it will get on the way. Which made rating this a bit hard - the rating might rise in the second part.
I'm glad you like it!

You know, ever since I read that you were writting a fic for this auction I check your journal compulsively at least twice a day!

And it was so worth it! My heart was racing while I read this! Soooo looking forward to the next part! Who are those time agents are and what they are doing with this planet? What will happen to poor injured!Doctor? I'm almost self-combusting with anticipation now! 8D

I think I'm going to re-read it now...

Thanks for the comment! I'll start the next chapter tomorrow, I think. Even more ideas for the story are forming as I type this. Hm...

Very nice, though the beginning was a little confusing. Maybe it's just because I'm bad at spatial relations, but I had trouble picturing the whole tunnel thing in my head. I think I've got it now, though.

Great Jack! Love it!

Sorry for confusing you. I'm glad it all became a bit clearer as the story progressed.
Thanks for reading!

You cannot imagine the excitement I felt upon seeing this post. I have always been a fan of all your DW stuff and settling down in front of a log fire to read this last night was just what I needed after a long and tiring weekend working ......

Simply brilliant. I loved it!! The pace kept me on an emotional roller coaster till the very end. And, after such an incredible build up, I can't wait to find out what depths of pain, angst and heartache you will put our heros through in the concluding part of this story. You write Jack so incredibly well and your OMCs make chillingly believable villains.

What is it about these darker pieces that make them so addictively enjoyable? Whatever it is, I am hooked.

Thank you for writing and sharing this!

I'm so glad you like this!
The boys have a quite a bit of drama to survive in the second part. But they're used to that...
