Quite a jolt when the Disney-esque happy villagers turned out to be what they were! The Doctor ought to have known that things were too peaceful there. Nice reunion between the Doctor and Jack, I loved that Jack had to be convinced by the hard truth and not the well-meaning lie. They've both had recent experience with Too Good to be True, right?

A tiny little typo: "Have too look after your wounds"

Can't get over 'porking us of our sins'. :D

Thanks for sharing!

Yep, he ought to have known, but he was too hungry for companionship to notice. He *wanted* it all to be nice and wonderful and companionable.

Yes, they've both seen Too Good to Be True, and Jack would rather have hard but solid rock than soft and slippery sand to stand on.

Thanks for the typo pounce! :)

*g* Annie was fun to write!

Thank you for commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the fic. (And also that you're still around! :) )

Very very shamefully deep in lurker-mode, I'm afraid... But I always enjoy your fics! :)

[yamx]

What can we do to make you unlurk? *baits with cookie*

[scifiangel]

So love this! The Doctor really should have know. *giggle*

[yamx]

Hee. He can be a bit naive sometimes, for a 906-year-old. ;)

Thank you!

This was quite charming and you set the Disney-esque horror mood very well! Also some extra points for going some way to redeeming Ten's attitude / relationship with Jack. Lovely.

[yamx]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

This was absolutely brilliant!! I loved it to bits! It was so nice to see the Doctor interacting with the villagers, and enjoying their hospitality and their food. You really captured everything so perfectly, and I felt as if I were part of the fic with your beautiful descriptions

[yamx]

Wow, thank you so much for this awesome comment! You've made my week! :)

I really tried hard with the descriptions of the forest and village--I wanted them to come to live. So I'm really glad you mentioned that they worked! :)

Yeah, it does get a bit rough for our guys in the middle, but that only makes the ending more rewarding, right? *g* (And the homing responder is super-handy! he Doctor should build one like that! Only he never will because it'd make every episode too easy to solve. ;) )

Jack is predictable to everyone but the Doctor sometimes. ;)

It's also on AO3, btw, in case you want to bookmark it there. (I find that easier than memories, but whatever works for you. :) )

Yesss. This is all I want for canon.

[yamx]

Aw, thank you. :)
