Sam found herself shaking. Words exploded from her with sudden anger. 'All my life people have tried to make me do things their way. Mum and dad, the kids at school, the Doctor. Everyone wants you to operate their way, think like them. They want you to see everything their way and think that it's best for you as well. They call you narrow-minded if you won't do what they want and resent you if you try to maintain your own space and all the time they're putting you in a box of their own making. You're doing it as well. You're just putting me in a different box.' The priest lowered his head. 'I saved your life.' 'That doesn't give you the right to possess it'

Fitz bit his bottom lip. 'Course, yeah? The thought of being sent back to Yquatine right now brought him back to his senses and he got to his feet, allowing Sorswo to help him, his qualm over. Get a grip, Fitz. Don't give in to insanity. Was he prone to it? Would he end up like his mother? Would madness be a welcome release? Was that how it been for his mother? So easy to give in, to abdicate responsibility for yourself.

Lombardo leaned on the counter. His face was round and glistening in the fluorescent light. Rather like a pie, thought Fitz. He had thinning auburn hair and there was a delicate, epicurean quality to the set of his lips and his thin nose. 'Compassion! Now that', he said, 'is an interesting name.' 'My name is not important,' said Compassion, turning abruptly away. The Doctor frowned. 'What's up with her?' he muttered, motioning for Fitz to keep an eye on her.

Fitz was babbling, about Arielle, about the Doctor. his face streaked with tears. Compassion remembered when she'd tried to suffocate him, to force him to remove the Randomiser. She felt she ought to apologise for it sooner or later, but now wasn't the time. 'Fitz,' she said, and, when he didn't pay her any attention. she said it louder. 'Fitz!' He was breathing heavily, his face was pale and it looked like he'd put on some weight. What was that he'd said? He'd been in prison? Well, they'd have plenty of time to talk. 'We've lost power, we're drifting.' She rose from her seat. 'I'm going to see if I can repair the engines.'

Fitz gazed back at him with new hope flooding through him. The Doctor was alive. That meant freedom, hope, maybe even a happy ending, somewhere down the line. 'Doctor,' he croaked. 'You don't know how glad I am to see you.' The Doctor smiled at him. 'Everything's going to be all right,' he said. 'I'm back.' And Fitz found that he was grinning too.

'Excuse me, sir,' said Theta Sigma, raising his hand only once he'd already started talking. 'When are we going to get on to the good bits?' '"Good bits"?' rumbled the Cardinal. The interruption had obviously caught him off-guard, because his jaw had dropped and his chin count had very nearly doubled. 'Yes, Sir. You know. The bits about vampires.'

Interference - Book One

He was a one-armed man now. Which would have been a mark of distinction, if he'd still been with Faction Paradox. Adding irony to injury. Hah. He felt his head sink back into the dirt. Maybe it was the drugs, but he felt a lot more relaxed than he had done in a long, long time. Perhaps it was just the comfort of knowing that he didn't really stand a chance of killing the Doctor after all, and that he didn't have to go through all the stress of trying. Not that his collection of Time Lord heads existed any more. He felt a bit sad about that. Still, at least he was feeling something.

The taxi driver had been happy to take Fitz's watch in exchange for their trip across London to Docklands. Fitz got the feeling that the driver knew more about watches than he did.

The Shadows of Avalon

Life was a never-ending series of dramas, some big, some small. The same dramas, experienced again and again by different people all through history. Only the trappings and circumstances changed. You got a job. You bought a house. You met someone. You got married and moved into their house. You had an affair. You got the wrong person pregnant and they married your best friend. You wished you could marry your best friend.

The Taint

His head reeled as he tried to work it out, and he came to a shattering conclusion. His coming back in time had set in train the sequence of events leading to the end of Yquatine. He'd been so bloody careful, not warning anyone, going out of his way to avoid Lou Lombardo, but it had all been for nothing. He'd walked right into it, like a trap. Was it because he was tainted by Faction Paradox? Was this some intricate, temporal sick joke? Fitz couldn't shake the feeling that it was all somehow his fault. That inbuilt Kreiner guilt again.

'No more rifle butts, please!' pleaded the Doctor. 'I've had more than enough today, thank you.' 'Take him away,' said Zemler. 'Yes,' said the Doctor. 'Take me to your spider.'

The Jaunus Conjunction

Every nerve in the man's body was ringing out a warning, you could feel it from here. The Doctor froze. The other soldiers took a few more steps back. 'Oh dear,' said the Doctor. 'I've upset you, haven't I?' The leader answered him by punching him full in the face, with a gauntlet that felt like it had been made out of the kind of substance you usually found only in the middle of very old and very dense dwarf stars.

Her attitude to the suffering all around her was frankly pissing the locals off, and was getting in the way of the Doctor's efforts to bring all the factions together and kick start a new economy. Perhaps it was getting to the Doctor, too. It was unlike him to want to stay put, to deal with the consequences. He'd spent ages talking to the people he'd rescued from Mechta, sitting cross-legged in the meadow room, with butterflies settling on his shoulders. These days, he seemed to be concerned with everything, pondering the consequences of every action he took, involved with the people whose lives he'd crossed. It was understandable really. The Doctor was trying so hard to he involved, to not treat the timesteam as a playground, the way the Faction Paradox did.

She vanished completely. The Doctor restrained the urge to bellow a relieved laugh at the sky. The consequences of this were too huge. He made his fingers let go of the parapet and turned to meet Fitz's boggling gaze with a baffled smile of his own. 'What —' he began. The Doctor put a finger to his lips.

Sam found him a few minutes later - a few minutes for her but a lifetime for him. He lay on the floor, his limbs crumpled, his face bruised and smeared with crimson. He coughed and fresh blood flecked his lips. 'Danny no! 'Sam was not even aware of screaming the child's name. 'You bastards, oh, you thoughtless, careless wankers!' She screeched at the crowd but no one heard, and no one responded.

The Doctor had told himself that he would not close his eyes. His arrogance had killed her. He should have checked Gandar's body. Now he'd lost everything again. He kept looking, helplessly, as Compassion neared the moment of her death. But then a sound so familiar that it took a moment for him to realise what it was began to resound across the downlands. The Doctor stared in astonishment. Was it his eyes failing him, or was Compassion - Fading in and out of existence.

'I'm not. I'm Sam. Sam I am.' She lifted the silver dish. 'Do you like green eggs and ham?' The Doctor bit his lip. 'You see?' Sam replaced the dish, covering the slowly reanimating corpse of a seagull. 'I said you'd laugh.'
