---
I've been lurking here but haven't made a post in quite a while; RL got busier and I haven't been writing as much (or rather, I have, but for professional purposes :P). I miss posting here however and am trying to come back a bit. So I thought I would share this fic! I really loved Lux, and I've written what I think may be the first fic with these three characters in, at least on AO3.

Also... while I hate begging for comments, I did something a little unusual in this fic and would really, really love to know how it landed. (Including if it didn't make any sense!) So while I am always glad for people to read my fics with or without commenting, know that in this particular case, if you do feel motivated to say anything in response, it will be extra-super-duper appreciated. :-)

Well, if that's what you were going for, then I think you achieved it quite well! :) I definitely wouldn't put a "Second Person POV" tag on the story, because you don't want to give away the twist. Also, it's a tiny part of the story, the rest of which is all third-person, and it's not really a trigger so you don't need to give a warning.

Thinking about it becoming an iconic episode, I just had a thought. That fan scene hit me hard because RTD managed to develop three characters within a space of a minute, giving them personalities and individuality, and then having them help the Doctor and bravely face their deaths. But I also feel like it was a love letter to the fans, saying, "This is how we see you all," and to me, it puts it on a par with "The Five(-ish) Doctors Reboot" -- as Sylvia said, "I have no higher compliment."

So my husband is absolutely obsessed with figuring out Mrs Flood, like, he even has kind of a dossier, listing where we've seen her and any clues we can glean from those glimpses. (He's not dumb about it, though. His conjectures always have good evidence to back them up.) The first thing he said at that scene was, "She can time travel?"

Edit: As I posted this, I realized, that doesn't have to be the same Mrs Flood. She could be multiples, or fragments of the same being. We saw something very similar in "City of Death" - Scaroth was fragmented across time, and the fragments could communicate with each other.

Love the idea of fragments! That would be kind of similar to what happened with Susan Twist - maybe they have something to do with each other?
