Story: Things That Did Not Happen in 2011
Author: Curuchamion
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 309
Author's Summary: Nine attends the Brigadier's funeral, maybe. (Rated for major character death - the Brig, obviously. *hat off*)
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Zoe Heriot
Warnings: Major Character Death
Recced because: I just don’t read death!fic much as rule – and yet not only did I read this one, but I liked it very much, and I keep returning to it. I can’t explain exactly why and how, but Curuchamion has a knack of packing a huge punch in very few words that makes 300 words equal 3000 from anyone else. And maybe this never happened, after all, and maybe it did, but the author is right about one thing: if there ever was a moment where the Doctor would do this, it’s the moment chosen here.

And I've finally thought what I actually meant by that sentence: I get the sense in many of your short fics of a kind of physics-thing where matter has been compacted down to become very dense. But I still can't find a way to say that coherently, and the other is a reasonable translation. ;-)
And, as I told you, I don't 'do' death!fic. Except this one.

(Since you said this, I've found myself talking about having a "packed-neutronium writing style" on a couple of occasions. LOL! It's really a fantastic description, so thank you! *g*)
