That’s even truer for people. The most powerful ones don’t conquer their dysfunctions, quirks, and potentially embarrassing insecurities. They seamlessly integrate them to make an impact on the world./ to which I can only say, he is guilty as charged on both counts. :) Ah yes. And he's always aware of his faults. He just tries to turn them into virtues. ;)
– Very good distinction re: Donna, but to it being only temporary, you as the authors might know that, but we as the readers don’t. Yes, I see “but their relationship - as friends, lovers, or whatever they were - would weather it. It always had before.” is in the text, but as these two chapters have just hammered home in a recursive loop of cleverness, the Seeker doesn’t always get it right. Ah, I hadn't even thought of it like that. I don't know what's planned out for Roda (completely in the dark!), but I always presumed he'd return once he'd done what needed doing. Although I supposed he might never come back... Hm. Also I love 'recursive loop of cleverness'. :D
And let's see if a spoiler-cut will work? Santa appeared at the end of Death in Heaven and not only in the Christmas Special, how much of season 8 is going to turn out not to have happened at all...) Ah yes, I am alllll over that. Haven't written anything yet, but... Am thinking.
SPOILER-CUT IS GO! The code is this:
{lj-spoiler}{/lj-spoiler} but with < and > instead of { and }
ETA: Also, I'm guessing you're appreciating the fic title more now? ;)
