Okay, this one ended up SUPER LONG, like barely under my own self-imposed limit of two minutes, which is nearly twice as long as my general aim. Sorry to future prompters but you're unlikely to get something as long as this is... *facepalm* I blame the song choice, which I just feel in love with. Seriously, I meant to vid one verse and a chorus, but I couldn't chooooose so I chopped up the song to keep the gorgeous final rendition of the chorus and ended up with this:

Title: a thousand goodbyes
Video: Doctor Who
Audio: 1000 Goodbyes // Captain Tractor
Summary: For every hello there's a thousand goodbyes.

I will index and crosspost all vidlets at the end of November or when I've done all the prompts, whichever comes soonest.

I'd never even heard of Captain Tractor before, but I agree, this song is just gorgeous. And I'm really happy that more than one person has picked up on the better-or-worse match, with the awesome illusions to weddings and stuff. And yeah, the way she took out the Dalek: shivers of awesome.

I think the first/last meeting becomes ever more tragic and poignant because we end up knowing River and her story more? From her knowledgeable perspective it keeps getting more sorrowful, and also, the more we know about all the things Ten doesn't know (but he must also understand the scope of what he doesn't know, and the weight of it), the more, in this, he begins to look...young/undeveloped/naive? Like, I still, and probably always will, find Ten deeply irritating, but in the context of this particular story, the way it frames him as a young idiot who doesn't know what he's just lost, but can, perhaps, see the edges of it; enough to know how much it mattered directly undercuts a lot of what annoyed me about him? OR SOMETHING.

The point is, RIVER. SHE BREAKS MY HEART. Thanks for the awesome thoughtful comment and I hope you did rewatch all those episodes. ;)
