Oh, Seeker, you dear poor idiot… What he tries not to think is that he might look too much like his father for comfort. Like the first time round. So she doesn't see *him* she only sees whose son he is. Which is actually completely accurate, but not in the way he thinks.
Ah. Yes. Not quite an idiot, just preferring the less painful interpretation first. And who wouldn’t? Okay, as you were. Yeah, he knows all about being screwed over by time...
I remember wondering about this when I was reading luckweaver’s part of the story, and thinking what happened to loves between regenerations? Well, when we look at Doctor/Master (as well as Doctor/River), Missy barely notices which face he's wearing (and the other way round). I'd say that Seeker/Roda, here, is unusual.
Third!Seeker doing the obligatory Colin Firth from Pride and Prejudice scene? :P It's actually a mirror for the end of A Good Day, when he goes swimming with the twins (and the Toclafane). Loneliness vs. finding new 'friends'.
Oh, Seeker. An idiot, but a delightful idiot. As someone says somewhere else “Hermione’s idea of an instant breakthrough is so much like everyone else’s idea of a major research project.” Emotional problem = bury self in work
Enjoys cameo of Allison’s mother’s plum tree. Ignore the rapid blinking of my eyes. Nothing to see here, move along. Oh but this is why his TARDIS takes its preferred shape from that tree. It's all connected.
Oh, right. I’m not sure I remember us having seen Jack post-A Good Day before. Interesting. The Seeker mis-reads it slightly - yes, Jack (for the first time) is attracted to one of his regenerations, but the discomfort is also there. Not that Jack falls out with him of course, but he knows what's to come, and he can't tell.
Of course he would, just on the off chance that it did make the Doctor’s hearts burst with envy. He probably also notices the lack of swagger.
And this is the version of the Seeker who drops Marcus Aurelius on Clara; if there had been any doubt beforehand that that was deliberate and not a lucky guess (not that there had been much), it’s gone now. It sort of ties back to Roda's 'How could he have done it to them?' But because of the timey-wimey they push him away... So he learns detachment (moreso than before), and by the time A Good Day comes round has not been particularly involved with the lives of his family/friends for many years. (Ouroboros, see?)
Because it feels as though the effect of the end of the universe on a less-prepared human mind (less prepared than a “typical” Doctor Who companion, whatever that means) could have been very interesting to explore. I wrote fic once. Although you've probably read it.
“Well, you say that as if it's a bad thing. But honestly, it's the best thing there is.” Well, the Doctor/his TARDIS have a very specific start. I liked to take a different route, but with the same sort of outcome.
100% control freak, as you say. Mmmm.
Of COURSE. Brilliant. :) It could not be otherwise...
Sad, and beautiful. Thank you. Thank YOU! Hope it was a good present, despite the sadness. <3
