    Summary

    The chill of the Shackling Prison lingers in his bones, below his skin where he can't reach. He knows, from the first time he left, that it will last quite a while. Maybe it will be less time, this time, but it will still be far longer than he's comfortable with.

    Despite the warmth of the sun, he shivers.

    or: cold lingers, even if not physically

    Summary

    Their time left on Amphoreus is limited, he knows. The Era Nova is rapidly approaching, now that all the Coreflames have been claimed, and soon they'll all go to sleep until it's time.

    Summary

    "If you have something to say, make it quick. I don't have much time to spare."

    As if on cue, the lights flicker, once, twice, before dying entirely. Backup emergency lighting kicks on, bathing the hallway of the ship in a stark artificial glow that didn't match the false daylight of a normal daytime on the vessel.

    "I'm going to assume that's your time running out?"

    "You need to leave," says Dan Heng. There's something bubbling up in his chest the longer he thinks about Caelus staying here, and if he didn't know better he might think it was concern, or even fear. "You're only in danger on this ship."

    Summary

    At the end of the day, his best choice was to stay silent, and so silent he was.

    Except, now, Dan Heng won't even speak to him, might actually hate him, and Caelus's only shot at fixing this is to talk to him.

    Summary

    The mantle of the Deliverer is heavy. Caelus had known this when he'd taken it from Phainon's shoulders, and yet hadn't expected the way his knees would buckle beneath it. Without Phainon sustaining the Eternal Recurrences, he hadn't expected them to keep looping.

    or: Caelus will keep finding Dan Heng, as many times as it takes.

    All he can think of, after recent events, is Jing Yuan in the Shackling Prison.

    It's the only thing in his mind, anger focused into a white-hot star. Very, very distantly, he realizes he isn't usually this angry at all, and the thought is blown out like a candle seconds later.

    Summary

    "I'm going to need you to take one of those stakes," he continues, as if Caelus hadn't said a word, "and send it through my heart. It's the only way."

    "No."

    "Yes." Dan Heng is still far, far too calm about this. "You know that there's only one way this ends if you don't."

    Summary

    The last time the Doctor had to wash a dish was… had it been with the Ponds, maybe? In the year he’d settled down with them? Had it been sometime in his tenure as a university professor, watching over Missy in her vault? Had it even been far back on Gallifrey, before he’d run, back when his family was alive?
    It didn’t matter, though. Donna had asked him to do the dishes today.
