    Summary

    Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.

    Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

    Summary

    “What do you do when you sunbathe?”

    “Well,” the Doctor’s voice floats across the windless air, “You might read, or sleep…”

    Ugliness stirs in Jamie’s stomach. “Aye,” he says, dull.

    But the Doctor, oh, bless the Doctor.

    “You’re comfortable there, m’boy,” he says softly, and Jamie shuts his eyes, squeezing them under the dark tint, “Howabout I read out loud instead? Save you sitting up?”
