Our wings are not tired.
I mourned the loss of Nine- he was my Doctor - but also accepted Ten pretty quickly.
I expected to hate DT and resisted, but it was, as they say, futile. I kinda love that the show made me love both of them.
EDIT: D'oh! Stupid grammar error! You think it'll never happen to YOU...
Hee. Truer words...

Juliebird, you might enjoy this, it's a virtual season 5 by the same person who wrote the virtual season 4 I linked to a little while ago.

Believe you me, Sail, the second I finished that fic (epic! Awesome! Epicly Awesome! Thanks for linky!) I began stalking and searching and looking for more and set a tracker on the alternate season five when I first read of the intent for it. Read the first ep, waiting for more!

I can also buy Ten as capable of genocide or icily consigning individuals to their just desserts as he did at the end of "The Christmas Invasion" and "Family of Blood." If Eccleston had tried that it would have rung false in light of his prior performances as Nine.
I think if Nine was the one responsible for the destruction of both the Time Lords and the Daleks (ahem), or the first incarnation afterwards, he was so despondent with that kind of destruction he was incapable of such behavior (as much as he may have wanted when it came to Daleks) until The Doctor Dances. I suspect he would have kept that attitude had Nine continued, but Ten has the luxury of the memories of "everbody lives!" to draw on, and the distance of a new incarnation, so he's a bit more callous about those things.

I'm not sure I understand your point, Frank. How would experiencing the ebullience of "Everybody lives!" make him more likely to engage in genocide or dole out evil punishments?

He knows it's possible, so when he sees a place where he thinks mercy is undeserved, Ten's more willing to go to the extreme because he knows somewhere down the line another "everyone lives" may happen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I disagree, since genocide is anti-everyone living.
