Head over heels obsessed with Dr Who.  10/Donna are my #1 faves and I'm an avid 10/Donna Shipper.  12 is my 2nd favorite new Doctor and he is simply amazing!  10 & 12 FTW!

-- The best of times.

Please forgive me for not putting these thoughts in tags. I've been living in the tags lately and I just want to speak.

The difference in these two scenes. The fear and regret in 2008 compared to the bittersweet acceptance and pride in 2023. Both are tragic and both are powerful. But to have Donna chose and the Doctor being there with her at the end was gorgeous.

Oh the two of them. They are and always will be my OTP. Their chemistry was the same as it was 15 years ago with old person humor thrown in. This scene had me in tears but it was indeed so powerful because finally Donna Noble got to choose!

Things are finally starting to come together.  As in the last chapter, all the preconceived notions that I had about where this part of the story was going to go were thrown out the window.  Which is why it’s taking me even longer to write these things now.. Quite a bit of tug of war going on but man let me tell you, Donna is a bada$$!  I love her!

it’s crazy that they spent the entirety of the runaway bride saying how stupid donna is, that she always misses the big picture, she gossips too much and she’s running out of time. she’s getting older, her looks are fading, people aren’t gonna stick around forever, life is passing her by and she doesn’t notice. every single person has something nasty or cruel to say, including the doctor! lance spends a whole two minutes berating and belittling her in front of the doctor and the entire time she’s just so disheartened and upset, maybe she’s thinking it’s true, maybe it’s reiterating what she’s heard from everyone else her entire life, maybe she’s hurt he’s saying it in front of other people. BUT then the empress tells them to kill the doctor and the FIRST thing she does is jump in front of him and tells them that she won’t let them kill him, a man she’s only known for a few hours, who thought he had kidnapped her, wasn’t sure whether or not to trust him, a man who called her unimportant and not special in any way and she IMMEDIATELY offered her life for his without any hesitation. because despite her character and what everyone else thinks of her, despite how much people belittle her or talks down to her, donna noble is a good person, she is a kind selfless person. she’s had the toughest day of her life and the man she loved stood in front her mocking and degrading her and it stopped mattering the moment they threatened the doctor. donna noble is the best companion and she always was and always will be important

So true! This is why I always loved Donna. She truly was his moral compass and her loss was one of the biggest reasons for the Doctor’s headlong fall into insanity and near embrace of the Timelord Victorious. And he still called her his best friend. One of the only companions that he ever referred to in that manner.

Ten x Donna rules!!!

I honestly wasn't sure how I was going to get to this point when things literally went to hell in a handbasket, the sequence of events in this chapter were a complete surprise to me and also took the tone of the story that I THOUGHT was going to continue and shifted tracks completely. I realized though that where I thought it was going and needed to go was not where these characters needed it to go and in the end, they're the ones in control of the story telling. I'm super excited to finally be getting to these next chapters because so much is finally coming together and all five of our characters will be able to grow together as a family while overcoming truly daunting odds.

There is some (not graphic) Donna whump in the beginning, more psychological then anything and then Wilf and Alec take over.

I have to say I was so not expecting their story to take the turn that it did, but watching the two of them get closer to each other and work together just gave me the warm fuzzies! I love these two and Alec especially is really taking on a life his own. I always imagined Wilf as the grandfather I never really had and Alec is reacting much the way I would have if I'd suddenly discovered a grandfather I didn't know about. :)

I sometimes want to grab Jenny up in a big hug and give her a giant bowl of chocolate ice cream with extra whipped cream and cherries. She was reticent in the beginning of this story for me and led to some of my longer periods of writer's block, but now she's jabbering at me all the time. Her story hasn't been a good one and I'm not entirely sure how much of her story I will go into detail with as I don't think that that will be necessary, but she DOES need to come to terms with her emotions over the course her life has taken. But luckily she has her family now!

Hello again everyone!  I find that I take very long breaks between updating chapters and I think it’s only because of the fact that each chapter now takes so much energy out of me to write.  My year has been nonstop work and with the state of the world, it’s become even more hectic then it normally is.  My health has also been impacted with taking new medication to help manage my MS, which has led to a severe lack of energy to anything beyond work and sleep.  Also, these characters tend to go quiet on me when I’m in a low energy mode.  Maybe that’s their way of watching out for me?  Hearing about the 60th anniversary though and the news of Tatennant being reunited gave me a little spark and I’m so happy to be back with these characters in the Phoenix universe!   I hope you all enjoy this and are doing well!  All the best and thank you for your love and support despite the long pauses in the storyline.  I’m so sorry to drag this out like this.  Enough about me, let’s get on with the show!

Happy new year everyone!  What a crazy year 2021 was and I didn’t have nearly the time or energy to write like I thought I would be able to.  It’s amazing how living in a constant state of dread can suck the life out of a person.  I found myself in this endless cycle of work, cook and clean and sleep with no variation.  My love for my fandoms was at an all time low and I just simply don’t have the spoons for anything of a personal nature right now.  So I’m working hard to try to make some ME time this year, while still managing to do all the adulting stuff that I have to do in order to live and eat.  I’ve started working out pretty regularly and that has been a good help to my mental health, but still exhaustion seems to be the perpetual state I’m in.  

Anyways, enough of my nagging, I hope you all like this chapter that FINALLY decided to come out.  I’m finally feeling like the story is moving toward its climax.
