Rec: Teacher, by Thriaemis

[but_can_i_be_trusted]

Wow; that sure went fast, didn't it? We've come to the end of my latest run, and it's time to hand it over to the next member. :) I hope everybody enjoyed what I brought to the party this time. Sorry there were so many this time, but it's hard to narrow down the Awesome. ♥

Okay, time for my last rec, and I really think I have a treat in store for everybody...

Story: Teacher
Author: Thriaemis
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 801
Author's Summary: He punches again and screams as his index finger snaps. No problem, keep going. He punches again and thinks of her face, with those eyes and the never giving up. He will do this for her, as many times as he has to. Somewhere along the line, he forgets what she taught him.
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor
Warnings: Disturbing imagery.

To me, the episode 'Heaven Sent' is a perfect picture of horror, and this story absolutely nails that same horror. Just as in the episode, I read this fic wanting to protect the Doctor from everything, and you have to be damn good to make me feel that. It is chilling and painful, and beautiful in the darkest way. This story serves as a reminder of how brave and incredible the Doctor truly is.
