This was really good - the life of an ordinary man turned against his will into a superhero. Some people simply don't grow into the roles fate assigns them, do they?

This is canon. This should have been in the comics... I think you just didn't get a thing wrong, that's all so-fucking-perfect. I wanted to read this since forever, and I didn't knew it until I did. I appreciate Jeroen so much, too, you know? and I like the new Doctor, but Jeroen was precious. He was so underestimated and had so much to give. Thank you for writing this!

Awesome. There isn't enough Jeroen love out there. :)

that was bloody brilliant. i fell off the fold out mattress, i have no fucking clue who this person is but that was just so fucking hilarious! oh, and just so ja know, 'Oh-dee'd' would actually be spelled 'OD'd', because it stands for 'over-dosing', did you know that you can OD on tylenol? me neither, it says 1 every 4 hours, and i got the wording on the bottle wrong, who knew that stupidity combined with a headache could result in the longest nap of my life, and then I woke up seeing double and a worse headache... oh well, toodles_

Great character piece, especially that insightful (though quietly depressing) last paragraph. There's a distinct lack of good Doctor fic out there, so I'm glad I managed to stumble upon yours.

great! I think you've really captured Jeroen's quandary. That he can't lose his powers, just because it could be worse if some other bastard got them. There's no way-out for him. He can't connect with the rest of the team because he's so inseccure and vice-versa.

Whoa. Deep, seriously. You should definitely write more Authority fanfics while typing under the influence of 'Human Traffic'

Oh, this is so sad! I really thought this gave some perspective to Jeroen. I've always been vaguely disappointed in his drug use; it's cool to see that he's noticed how people feel about him. Most addicts are frightened of other people's perceptions, so they try to avoid them completely.

Oh, baby. *hugs Doctor* Heartwrenching story.
