_medley_ yesterday…
He knew he was acting stupidly.
Quarrelling with Rose, accusing her of only coming with him so she could save her dad, storming off without cooling down first, actually intending to leave her here in the past where she couldn't help but do more damage…
But the most stupid thing was bringing her here at all. Because of course she'd try to save her dad.
Wouldn't he have done the same thing, if he could?
And maybe that's why he did it. Wanted to give her the one thing he couldn't have himself. Her family back, alive and well.
Stupid.
ETA D'you know what? This is the first fic I've posted that hasn't been about, or referenced, Jack! It's also the first time I've written Nine! Go me! :-)

The thing is, I think the episode did try to make that point, but I don't think it did it very clearly.
Oh dear, that makes me sound like I'm saying I'm a better writer than Paul Cornell... Not what I meant! :-)

And I like Cornell too. I liked this episode. I just think it could have done a bit better in places.
(Ooh, look, another Nine icon!)

To quote Jack -- "Shame on you!" (lol)

I was just proud because it was beginning to feel like he was the only character I could get my head round (apart from the Master, of course - but even my Master fic at that point was very Master/Jack, though it's swung to much more equal attention on Jack and the Doctor now)!

That is a helluva long day ! At least - hopefully - you'll be able to sleep well tonight. I'm trying to write porn and failing - I thought I had it and then *poof* BAH!

Will be heading bedwards very shortly, in fact. :-)

If the gas man doesn't get you sorted tomorrow you'll just have to move down here ;-)
