The Everlasting Light (Eight Doctor) all ages, no warnings a_phoenixdragon January 2 2013, 12:03:09 UTC

Soft, almost petals of white - falling slowly and thickening as twilight fades to evening, the brush of them on your upturned face as soft as kitten fur. You close your eyes to lose yourself in the sensation: the crisp chill of the air in your lungs, the blush heating your face as the cool mist soaks under your skin. The icy flakes register as a caress, then a flare of wet-cold as they melt upon impact; settling in your hair, your clothing, making them feel denser, heavier - even as the falling drifts of white seem to weight nothing at all ( ... )

Oh, the Doctor and the TARDIS sharing a quiet celebration in the snow :) I love how you got the blanketing, muted feeling of snowfall across in words.

Thank you so much, honey! All that I love about winter was placed here. I love the quiet peace of it and snowfall (on Christmas Eve no less) seemed like the perfect celebration for the Eighth. I'm sure there is more to be said, but this (for now) was what he quietly whispered to me (with that lovely soft smile of his). I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

*HUGS*

This is lovely. I adore your descriptions of the snow. I love it when people write well in the second person. I find it very difficult to do. When it is done really well - like here - it's just so totally immersive. I felt like i was there in the scene and could feel/picture it all perfectly. It's a lovely lovely little snapshot of a moment in his life.

Thank you, honey. *Kisses*

You know, this wasn't even how I intended it to go. I was trying to capture the essence/feel of Christmas Eve/Christmas to me and what it means and this...kind of came out *smiles*. The second person was wholly unintentional as well. This was how it insisted on being written though - so I just let fly with it.

I'm so glad it put you there standing with/beside him. This just felt like a perfect form of celebration (even though it is a slow moment, a tranquil one), something the Doctor even needs to do. Stop. Breathe. Take joy in being alive.

*hugs you tight*

Always so good to me and my fics, sweetie. A lot of these can be placed at your feet, with your constant encouragement and love.

Ah, 2nd person! :D This is perfect, totally fits 8, that old Romantic!

Re: The Everlasting Light (Eight Doctor) all ages, no warnings a_phoenixdragon January 7 2013, 18:30:15 UTC

You know, when I was writing this, I wasn't even thinking of POV, lol!! I never do. I just write it as they tell me and post it if it works. *Grins* Didn't realise the structure was even different until Lonewytch pointed it out to me. Shows how much I pay attention!

*Headdesk*

Thank you, sweetie. I just thought of how Christmas Eve makes me feel - and I knew that Eight would understand. He is definitely a romantic...and so, so empathetic. Think we both enjoyed writing this one!

*HUGS YOU HARD*

Re: The Everlasting Light (Eight Doctor) all ages, no warnings honeynoir January 7 2013, 18:53:02 UTC

It's so cool when a fic writes itself, sort of! Then you don't have to pay attention! :D

Yep, it was a perfect description and perfect for Eight!

*hugs*

Re: The Everlasting Light (Eight Doctor) all ages, no warnings a_phoenixdragon January 7 2013, 19:39:16 UTC

Isn't it? Not to say I didn't fret over it (because I very much did!), but I was too worried about how it would turn out to even give a second thought to POV. Now that it's been pointed out I'm doubly proud, because that is a hard POV to work from normally.

Thank you, honey. You have more than made my day - you have made my WEEK!

*DANCES*

Aw, that's lovely. :-)

Re: The Everlasting Light (Eight Doctor) all ages, no warnings a_phoenixdragon January 21 2013, 15:01:29 UTC

Thank you! Rather happy the Muse let me have this one.

*Happy!Hugs*
