Notes: Gen or slash, depending on your viewpoint

Author’s Note: This is my first Doctor Who fanfic; I normally write Life on Mars. I wanted to do something quite a lot longer than this, but I already have three long fics for Life on Mars eating my brain, so this is it for now.

 

 

I Win 

 

The physical pain is extraordinary for such a small wound. Such a neat wound: all the blood staying on the inside, warming my stomach. 

I feel myself lowered safely to the floor, held close by strong, trembling arms and I let go. 

So tired.

 

Happy Now?

 

 

 

You catch him before he falls. Hold tight that slim, taut body and lower him safely to the floor.

Ready to give him strength for the next stage. Ready to care for him and watch him forever. 

Ready to change your life for him.

 

I’ve Got You.

 

 

 

You can’t stop the shaken mind breaking open; can’t stop the broken madness slipping away. 

You didn’t expect his relief. You didn’t expect his triumph. 

You didn’t expect his death.

 

It Can’t End Like This.

 

 

 

The mental relief is incredible for such a huge wound. Such a messy wound: all the hurt and madness spilling out, cooling my mind at last. 

I feel myself falling into blessed silent darkness, as the fading, maddening drums batter the weak, trembling face. 

I live at last.

 

I Win.

Jeez, I just went to sign up with Gallifrey Base, but after I read the rules I backed right off! The whole thing seems incredibly unfriendly, not to say draconian. I really don't feel comfortable about joining a forum that feels the need to be quite so hostile in the rules and threatens people with life-time bans and being taken to court in Cook County Illinois for such infractions as posting links to YouTube!

Also, the way it harps on about it being a company, owned by this company and that organisation, isn't quite the kind of thing I really want to be involved in.

It's a pity, because I would quite like to join a Doctor Who comm of some sort, but that one just made me feel quite scared and uncomfortable!

Crikey - I haven't actually ever read the rules I have to confess, even though I know I'm probably meant to!!! I've been a member since it started in July this year, and the previous forum 'Outpost Gallifrey' for a year or two before that and the only difference I've found to other comms is that some of the posters can be a little... pedantic, you could say! You get sniping and stuff as you do most places but I just ignore all that and follow my own moral guidelines for behaviour...do as you would be done by, basically... haven't been banned yet!!! I mainly stick to the 'Infinite Quest' Forum, which is where all the discussion set reports/photos etc for upcoming episodes can be found - it can be spoilerific but thats fine by me. As far as I can tell, what actually tends to happen with ppl who post links to youtube is that the links just get removed - never heard of anyone being taken to court or banned over it! That's not to say it mightn't happen of course but I'm sure ppl who've done so are still posting there so perhaps its just a warning... hmm... it does sound kind of scary, i agree. All I can say is that i don't find it a scary place to be, if that helps!
