an icepick through the keyhole

I particularly like the way you twist the time element in this story. It's a conceit that belongs to Dr. Who more than any other sci-fi series, in my opinion. (Though I will admit I am fairly new to this fandom.)

But also, I like the way the Doctor and the TARDIS respond to each other (okay, the TARDIS never gets any snappy lines, but...). They are both the last of their kind, and have always been there for each other. It only makes sense that One would be lost without the Other.

Nice fic!
