Thank you for your continued support. I'm really glad to have finally thought of something to write for this one.

He thought it was because he was overworked. It made sense – planning to bring the monstrous versions of humans from the year 100 trillion to 2007 and enslave the Earth was bound to cause some stress.

But that still didn't explain the strange feelings he sometimes had.

He found himself thinking about his life back on Gallifrey – it had been so long since he'd been there – and trying to remember his childhood. His friends (back when he was so immature as to require that connection with another person), and particularly his family ... what were they like? What had happened between them? Had he ever had a family? Or was it all a lie, a fantasy?

One time he woke up in the middle of the night, and found his hearts beating fast. He knew, because he'd checked them himself. Checked that they were both there. For that was the strangest thing about these feelings – that he found himself questioning – and in some cases denying – his Gallifreyan heritage.

But then he'd come to his senses, and think yes, it was just because he was overworked.

Of course he wasn't half-human!


For New Whovians - it was revealed in the 1996 telemovie that the Doctor (in this case the Eighth) was half-human. This however is disputed among fans.

So I finally saw the telemovie the other day - and I've gotta say I really enjoyed it. What's more - I've become an Eight/Grace shipper!

For those of you who enjoy my fanvids, I've recently completed yet another Doctor/Rose one. It's called Brave Face, and you can watch it on YouTube or download it from InsideTheTardis. Details are on my profile.
