luckweaver has replied to most of your wonderful feedback, I'll just jump in with a few comments of my own. ;) Because I love feedback. ♥
she glanced up at the Seeker and forced a bitter smile onto her face. I know... Poor Seeker.
– rightly or wrongly, this brings back Three’s description of Four: “all teeth and curls?” I am leaving that at luckweaver's door. She wrote it. >:)
– Now a canonical occupational hazard, thanks to Missy. As luckweaver said - just because Missy got there first doesn't mean we didn't THINK of it.
– Oh, Eleven. We miss you. We doooooo. :(
– once again admiring the Seeker’s fine grasp of the essentials... Well he had a gender-neutral friend (Jamie) at uni, plus this is new and therefore very very interesting. He wants to know everything.
– !!! The very idea of 'nonsense High Gallifreyan' is one of my favourite things from this chapter.
– The Seeker at work with a new problem where he has no data and hasn’t had the opportunity to pop off and research the answer yet, as with Clara’s Marcus Aurelius fandom. Neat. That is an excellent parallel!
– So perfectly the Seeker, both the good and the bad, the loyal relieved friend and lover and the “God I’m good!” insufferable genius... Indeed. (You can't separate the two...)
– Let alone the end of the Day of the Doctor echoes, or Donna in End of Time either. It is only temporary - and voluntary - so not as bad as Donna. But DotD is a good comparison.
– If he hadn’t said that Roda had been the one who taught it to him, I would have gone back through Dating looking for where he said this in apology to Allison... It's the very beginning of <a href="http://elisi.livejournal.com/791891.html'>Chapter 21</a>. Roda doesn't literally used those words, but helps him see himself in a new light. (It was after Allison - quite rightly - was furious when he told her about the mindsex with Jamie, and was utterly unapologetic.)
<i>– pets the Seeker, gently.</i>
When he makes up his mind - that's it. He'll take whatever comes.
