Almost forgot to post. It's... well, it's been a day.



The moment Anthony fell limp in his chains, the Doctor leapt over the fence, pulling out the sonic to unlock the manacles on first his ankles then his wrists. As soon as the iron bands around his chest clicked open, the Doctor caught the falling body and laid him out on the stone floor.

“Should’ve left him,” growled Phillips from the doorway, his hand tightening around the grip of his hunting knife. “No idea what he might do when he wakes back up.”

“The pansrid’s gone,” the Doctor replied as he inspected Anthony’s wounds. “Nothing controlling him anymore. This is the Anthony you’ve always known, and I’m not leaving him locked up for anything.”

( Yeah, same. I was worried I’d have to rain check. )

And oh! This is pretty exciting. I want to know more. Is Anthony okay?

No, he probably isn't. This is a scene that will be in my origfic, if I ever write it, but adapted to DW. The Anthony character is controlled by a hostile entity and ends up being restrained to prevent him from killing any more people. When the entity is defeated, Anthony is free and pretty much physically fine, but mentally, not so much. He will have to cope with all the bad stuff he did while he was being controlled.
