Ohhhhhh, this is AMAZING! I must have been in denial about how much I missed your fics. As much as I love your comedies I love your more serious fics too, and your Doctor here is utterly brilliant, all kind and frightening and disillusioned, and Ruth is lovely too, especially here:
Ruth, now a teenaged girl and sensitive to being patronised, only stuck out her tongue in concentration as she completed a diagram, refusing to give him the rapt attention she once had. “Well, I’m not surprised. I don’t believe you, either, Doctor. I know all those stories of yours can’t really be true. I’m not a little girl any more.”
She had been saying that ever since he had met her, although it would be true one of these days — sooner now than seemed possible, even for a human with their mayfly lives.
Perfect!
Ugh, I cannot express exactly how delighted I am that you're writing fic again. And, because you seem to be in doubt, you should know that the only way in which this is a second-rate fic is the way that it very rudely hurt your head to write - to read, it is just as marvellous as your fics always are.
I will wait patiently, but - here's to more. *hugs*
