It is snowing again! My Yuletide has the shape of an actual plot and is coming along nicely! I can't stop listening to
nextian's hilarious Ode to Jamie Crawford! The world is a lovely place, so I have decided that it is time for this meme that is going around:
If you were asked to pick one scene, one shot, one detail, one moment of some kind out of all the things I've made and say "This, this, for whatever reason, I remember, this is something that struck home with me, that I wanted to keep," what would it be?

I can't pick just one. I have to pick three.
Everything in The Naming of Things. That is so canon with me it is ridiculous. But the moments that stand out are these:
1) Koschei deciding that the logical solution to problems in a relationship is suicide and regeneration. Because really, you KNOW that's going to end well.
2) Theta and Koschei joining their minds telepathically.
That one always gets me because it's intimacy on a level that no human can ever know, and it involves masses of trust on both sides (an incredible amount from Koschei just to allow this to happen)...and yet it's not enough. Because he's still concealing the parts of himself that he knows Theta wouldn't react well to, and you can't really blame him for that because everyone wants their partner to think well of them...and yet he's lying to Theta. Very deliberately lying in a fundamental way, and Theta is going to realize sooner or later that there are things he isn't seeing, and he's going to see the distrust and be deeply hurt--as much as he was when Koschei first regenerated, if not more.
And Koschei isn't going to understand WHY.
3) Theta and Koschei meeting as little boys and falling asleep in the same bed after spending half the night talking. It's so cute and it always breaks my heart, because Koschei is just so damaged, and yet it's not immediately apparent. And Theta/Doctor will always wonder if there was ever something he could have done to fix what's wrong. So the scene is both sweet and fundamentally tragic, and I want to hug them both.
