Fic: Protect and Survive, Part VIII: Protect and Survive

The conclusion! Answers, though they may not be the ones the Doctor wants to hear, and a solution, of sorts; here's hoping it makes sense. More past Doctor cameos too. All of the quotations I have used as chapter headings in this fic are from the movie Dr Strangelove, and some dialogue in this part is taken from the Who stories Genesis of the Daleks by Terry Nation and Resurrection of the Daleks by Eric Saward. The Daleks belong to the Terry Nation estate. None of these things belong to me!

*faints with excitement*

(By the time I recover, it might be up on the site. There's method in my madness).

The conclusion! Oo-er. :-D

I left a review, but I'm terrible at those.

Yay, Obligatory Romana Reference!

Now for Sontarans Up the Jungle!

Wow *remembers to breath* that's one of the most wonderful and haunting fics I've ever read. Seven's solution was as unexpected as it was brutal, and then the quick snap back -

I didn't find it a cop-out at all since you set it up so cleanly. I love the reuse of dialogue and description at the end (said that in the Teaspoon review too), though I feel compelled to point out a minor possible typo:

Nevertheless, there were people walking on long strand of beach

Pretty sure there should be a 'the' in there somewhere.

Thanks for the ride JJpor; it was magnificent.

Excellent! Now I will go read it all. (I prefer to have it all available before I start so I don't lose track).

Ohh... wow. Awesome. I have a bit of a thing about reading WIPs, especially when the suspense might drive me up the wall, so I read all the parts this evening, and just finished.

That's great Seven and Ace, and absolutely terrifying. I was gasping and having chills run through me in various parts. Part of it's the dark Doctor; part of it's being old enough to have grown up with the fear of nuclear war being a constant nightmare.

Because I don't have a Teaspoon account, I'll say here that I was amazed by your "Gaze Into the Abyss" Romana/Seven/Eight/Time War story, as well, and this hit about as hard as that one did. (I'm no fan of New Who, but if we have to accept the Time War, then your version of it is now my canon.) Congratulations and keep writing!

I have read it and I thought it was mostly marvellous, especially around about the "Something you would do" line. I will try to muster some more coherent feedback when I'm not burned out from three days at a conference.

Read it all and I have this to say:

This was brilliant. Too many brilliant things to point out anything specific. Although, I absolutely love how Seven still is/was/will be the Oncoming Storm at the end. Not everything can be changed.
