Hello again! I really hope you enjoyed this novella, I've actually still got another couple lined up and waiting, so let me know if you want more of The Doctor and (Y/n)!
Same as ever, I appreciate any and all comments and criticism, as I believe it helps, but I will not stand for harassment or bullying, including slurs and hate speech.
These novellas mean a lot to me, as some of the experiences are very personal for me, and I hope I accurately conveyed some of the more difficult situations.
For this story I really wanted to focus on how trauma affected (Y/n) in her relationships, especially the immediately broken trust when Jenny became a male. This could also be seen at her numbness towards the psych ward when she was returned, which is why I didn't spend a long time on it. For her, all that time bled together.
I also felt it important to have The Doctor, Yaz and Jenny attend her funeral, and not just from (Y/n)'s perspective. I wanted to convey how heartbroken they would be though their actions rather than their words, and to hopefully show anyone struggling the reality of the funeral of a loved one.
I don't often see people recognise the aftermath of self harm, and the constant reminder from the scars we bear. I felt (Y/n) would be more comfortable on her date with them covered up, but I also needed her to accept that these were a part of her past, and not something she should be ashamed of. This is further touched upon in a later Novella of mine.
On the theme of acceptance, I tried to have (Y/n) learn that some things can't be changed, and sometimes that is for the better. Seeing her sister and mother alive and well was horrible, but it taught her the rules of The Doctor and why she follows them so rigidly.
Finally we come to Missy. I wanted to keep her fiery and sarcastic nature (she's also been one of my favourite Doctor Who characters) while have her thaw with surprising compassion when something truly touches her. This time it was being unable to see someone forced to act against their will.
I look forward to releasing the next novella, I think it's probably my favourite of those I've written so far.
And of course, a disclaimer, I do not own any of these characters, they belong to the BBC, I intend to use them for creative and entertainment purposes only.
Goodbye my lovelies, and I'll be back soon!
