I do love your Who-fic!
Yay! *does the happy dance*

You make the Master well, maybe not sympathetic exactly, but comprehendable? Or you would if that were actually a word! His actions make sense in this universe; which is just about the highest praise I can give. Go, you!
Squee! I *love* The Master and I guess it ought to worry me how easily I write him... Actually one thing I wanted to do in this piece was to show how - if it wasn't for Alex - suicide really would be the preferable option for The Master.

and who wouldn't love Alex? Even me, who isn't generally a fan of baby-fic.
Alex is wonderful (and I figured a Timelord child ain't all that different from a human one, and those I have plenty of experience of! *g*). Also I don't think it's possible to have a child in your 'verse and not have a Christmas Miracle happen. :)

Very believable situation with the school-friends and their dad. One of my favorite things to read are stories where we see our characters through an outsider's eyes.
Oooh thank you! I was worried all the OCs might put people off - I'm glad that wasn't the case. (And yes the viewpoint thing is v. handy.) Anyway, one day when I continue the 'verse Matt and Josh will show up! :)

Snerk!
Heh. I couldn't not... and I also wanted to show that Harold Saxon still holds some sway, somewhere deep in people's subconscious.
