Terminal Decay: Andy

The Terminal Decay Concordance

Terminal Decay by unslinky is a fan fiction novel that takes place shortly after the episode "The Planet of the Dead"in the series Doctor Who. The story is Alternate Universe to everything Doctor Who and Torchwood after that. Unslinky started posting this amazing story in May 2010 and here it is March 2011 and the story is far from being completed. The story is on the website A Teaspoon and an Open Mind.

I am such a big fan of this novel and it's amazing complexities, I decided to write a concordance for Terminal Decay.
The labels in this blog can be used to track of who's who and what's what in the novel. For instance if you scroll down to "seizures" you'll find that it has (3). When you click on that label you'll come up with the Chapters that has someone having a seizure: Chapter 410, 509, 555.
The summaries are just to jog your memory and sometimes I'll write something pertaining to that Chapter that is a bit of TD trivia. The Blog Entries themselves are listed below the rather long (and bound to be even longer) Labels section. Summary inconsistencies should be directed to me and I'll make corrections. Writing this is a long process so I'm far from being caught up but I'm trying! One final thing: I am American so my phrasing and spelling may look a little "off" to you in the UK
Allons-y, Donnaj

Terminal Decay Chapter 498

Chapter 498 link

Jack is pretty much recovered from his Artron energy depletion. Donna explains to Jack, Ianto, Andy and Tom how the Doctor feels telepathically isolated from the Time Lords and his TARDIS. Donna cautions Jack on believing what the Doctor said about his love for him and that they should talk about it soon. Donna also discusses the use of a chemical to block the Doctor’s link to John: if the Doctor takes the drug he won't make John sick as he gets sick, but the Doctor will be still subject to the pain that John endures, and without the comfort of the link. If the Doctor takes this drug the side effects may be he has no way to control his feelings whether it is physical or emotional. Thus needing more TLC.

Donna also discusses the possibility of delaying the Doctor’s chemotherapy treatments until they are in the other universe and John’s infection has cleared, and the status as to what should/could be done for Rose. Donna also warns Jack to stay clear of Rose. Jack decides to remain with the Doctor in isolation for the time being. Ianto offers simple advice to Jack to give any relationship with the Doctor time.
