:sniffles: Rather sad.

Thanks for writing.

Wow. That was brilliant. It really was. Now that you've written it down, it makes sense. Lucy and Martha really are a lot alike. Wow, I never thought about that, but it's so true, it's scary. I'm just glad Martha had the good sense before she could hurt the Doctor. I'll admit that I'm not that much of a Martha fan, but that's just more b/c I really don't like her episodes that much. Series 3 wasn't my favorite, I'll admit that, and there's only so many times you can watch the three Master episodes before you go insane. Reading this, though, I can really say that I like Martha, at least here. Knowing that she's leaving to protect him from hersef, well that right there is real love. I just hope Martha can stop having that nightmare; for what she's doing, she deserves that much.

Again, I love this story, it really helps me see Martha for a person, and makes her a character I can actually like. I've never hated her; I've never really felt anything for her, but I can like and respect her so much more for leaving to protect the Doctor. You did an amazing job; this story is fantastic.

A very deep perspective into Martha's character. Well done!

DAMM. THAT WAS SO DEAD ON. I HAD TO READ IT TWICE. VERY GOOD.

Oh this is brilliant!

Brilliant. It gives light to how the Master's wife felt at that point as well.

Wow. I mean...wow. As many pieces as I've seen on Martha and her feelings, I've never seen anything like this. So one, kudos for originality and uniqueness. Two...wow. What an awesome connection to make, between Lucy and Martha. Can't wait to see more from you. Keep up the great work!

Wonderfully done

This is amazing. You've captured bushels and bushels of emotion and nuance in less than 600 words. On my best day, I don't have that precise turn of phrase. I am in awe, and I just fricking love your story!!

Death and mayhem follow the Time Lords in so many different ways, and not all of them have to do with worlds exploding. Sometimes the mayhem is even bigger than that, and thanks for capturing it.

Excellent fic.

Though this story is short, it really made me think. I never really thought of Martha and Lucy as comparable, but now that you piont it out, you are absolutely right. They've both lost themselves in Time Lords who don't love them. I thought The Last of the Time Lords was a heartbreaking episode, and you have made Martha's sadness more real. Well done.
