Ten…

Rose begins to fret about the time. Or rather, the absence of its passage. It is one thing to be human and lose track of an hour or two, but it is another to be caught unawares as a whole year passes you by…if you can trust the relative temporal meter in T-Too's console. It was only then (not the regeneration or the sensory enhancement or even the so very useful ability to absorb a dictionary in under twenty seconds) that Rose realized that she was no longer quite human.

Nine…

"ROSE TYLER IS DEAD," he screamed, twisting against the arms that held him back from tearing her throat out.

Eight…

He always did adore that stupid blue jacket. Even if it did not quite fit as it once did, Loki could not ignore the golden fire of the woman the faded leather contained.

Seven…

Be careful what you say in the presence of a Trickster God. Even if you once were in his favor.

Six…

Asgard was warned, long ago, about the Bad Wolf. Even the humans kept fragments of the omens sent down by the Norns, but Odin refused to believe the tales. To travel in time and scatter words across the cosmos—that was sorcery lost with Gallifrey and the Time Lords. They were are all dead and gone…or so Odin thought.

Five…

"You really think you are a match for me? You are nothing, Bad Wolf. I control you now."

Four…

Your time is up, Loki Laufeyson.

The winds of Hel are calling for the blood of the betrayers.

Try not to scream too loudly, will you? You might wake Jormungandr.

Oh wait…

You already did.

Three…

Two worlds. One shriveled root on the World Tree. Castaways fighting to the death, because if you cannot fight the thing you hate, how can you possibly learn to find the one you love?

Two…

"I told you I would come whenever you would call, Guns. Even if you are bloody well certifiably insane. At least it isn't London. Torchwood would have a field day with paperwork."

One…

"Don't leave me. Please. Not again."
