A version of the underground railroad was a nice surprise...loved the pink Dalek as well as the other various thoughts that went through his head.
Author's Response: That idea practically write itself. I have to admit that I kind of wrote myself into a corner and needed to figure a way it that made some kind of sense in the universe that I had built. It occurred to me that obviously not everyone liked the world they lived in, especially those who didn't have the influence that the upper class Time Lords had. Thus Hanchei and Boss. 😊
Author's Response: Ugh! Ignore my poor grammar and spelling. Swipe texting while you are in a hurry isn't conducive to good grammar.
Wow, Jack is finally showing that he is capable of trust & working towards the greater good...so many wonderful parallels.
Author's Response: Wow! 5 reviews in one day! I must be doing something good. I'm so glad that you're back! Readers and reviewers like you make it all with it. I am having a lot of fun with building up the new Jack into a person very similar to our Captain Jack but different enough to make him his own character.
“I don’t know. But she is.” That line summed up the height of this update for me. Rose & her Doctor have come so far in their love, their trust in each other...what a journey we are all on.
Author's Response: As the Doctor would say, "Oh, yes!" I figure by this time, with all I put them through, it was a fitting line for Alex to say. Now the question is, is Rega with it too?
Jakobb so similiar to our beloved Captain...“You must trust the wounded soul."...now I see the meaning of that reference as it relates to both Jakobb and the Captain.
Thanks for updating this captivating story. Oh you were not wrong to give that warning...that toture was beyond OK. I am anxious to see Rose's reaction to “The Oncoming Storm. But a Tempest will arise and frighten the Wolf.”
Author's Response: Yeah, that torture no doubt would have an effect on anyone. But what kind of effect will it have on the Doctor?
I really hope that he can influence Jakobb because torture and healing will only last so long until sanity ceases...is there any help out there, or is he truly on his own...very distressing update...thank you for posting.
Thank you very much for the new chapter. You are always very much appreciated.
Author's Response: Thanks! It's good to know that my stories are appreciated.
"But will I recognize him when he does? Ok, I am more than worried, is that statement relative to possibly changing his face or does it mean a change to his personality...very apprehensive for next update.
Author's Response: Well, the series pretty much established that the metacrisis has only one life so no regeneration. That doesn't mean that something can't happen where he'd have to had reconstructive surgery. Not that I'm saying that's what's going to happen. Just saying that's the only way his face would change. As for personality... well... he already isn't the same person he was when Rose first met him.
Jakobb, wow that description reminds me of a certain "Captain"...not sure how I feel about that should it be true...my worries have grown even more so now that he has begun his mission...admire your tenacity to get this story put to paper and posted for all to enjoy.
Author's Response: Actually, it's a bit of deja vu for me to write out the story and then type it when I have a chance at home. I didn't have my own computer growing up so I would have to use my dad's computer when it was available. So writing my stories by hand first was pretty common for me. I still have my first Quantum Leap fanfictions (handwritten) somewhere. I also did a couple of Sherlock Holmes fanfictions but they were so bad, in my opinion, that I threw them out and erased them from my hard drives. I still have the artwork that I did for them though. I'm not a great artist but I liked them enough to keep them.
As for Jakobb... you'll just to wait and see.
Neither Rose nor Bad Wolf should discount those ominous feeling of dread...they usually come to pass in one shape or another...no worries for delays, this story is definitely worth waiting for.
Really did make my day with this great chapter......I'm so glad he proposed and told her about his intention and the engagement ring back on earth. I sure do hope the bracelets will be ready when Alex gets back. And....speaking of him getting back, Rose's fears really worry me, kinda like you are going to hurt our boy and not let them get back together real soon. You know me, I'm so anxious for the romantic stuff!
I wish you luck in your job hunt and home renovations. Any time you can send us your wonderful words, it will be greatly appreciated, don't feel pressured, this fab story is worth waiting for.
So glad you are back!! Sorry the job didn't work out, that can be so frustrating
Excellent update but I am worried about Alex going to the Citadel. Why do I think things won't go as smoothly as he told Rose? I will be scared for him until you get him back to Rose. And, omg I hope it is your intention to get him safely back to Rose. Those two have been through so much, as what he reminded Rose, bringing up past history. We followed him through the drug additcfion, etc, and he overcame all the terribleness. I have faith you will take care of him and his Rose.
I love when the Doctor stands up for what he believes in and refuses to back down. He knows he can help those people, let's just hope he or Rose don't become ill too.
Such an interesting world you have given your readers, another excellent post!
You have no need to be concerned about any delays, it's worth the wait...life has a way of grabbing your attention and all else will happen at its own pace.
"We all have done and said things we regret. Weve all been hurt by someone or something in the past. How we handle that reflects who we are.
I absolutely love this!!! So true for all of us.
Thanks for the names of the seasons, that is way interesting.
Rose is just too quick to say she and Alex "aren't like that." I hope with all my heart that will eventually change. I'm a great lover of the romance between the Doctor and his Rose. ❤️
Ive missed you, sorry RL has been a challenge lately. You should have been able to hear my "Yay!!!!!!" when I saw this update. Good luck with your new job!!
Author's Response: Aww! Thanks! I'm really looking forward to the new job. Something I've never done before but I think I'm going to like it. If not, at least it's money in the pocket until I find a replacement.
Concerning the seasons, I just thought that, since Time Lords are so focused on time, they would be a little more precise in how they judge the passage of the seasons.
As for Rose and Alex, of course they're a couple. They're most certainly dating. But as described in Book 1, Alex isn't willing to go quite that far unless they're married, mostly for ethical and biological reasons. He just loves her too much to go there unless he can fully commit to their relationship. I think it's very romantic to wait until the wedding night. It show deep respect and love.
