​In the red of night, the melted soup that was once a child weeps. A transformative glow tends to the mess, angelic hands piecing the child back together bit by bit. The tears of Change run down a newfound face. A girl raises her new hand; she dabs the rose-warm damp from under her eyes. Her first sight looms into view. Her hands are red and wet. The blood of a dead little boy soaks her undersized tunic, and stains her freshly woven form. Maybe now she’ll finally be allowed to grow up.

the thing about the other is that it made gallifrey. we know rassilon took gallifrey by force and we know omega found time travel and we know rassilon speaks of the other as though it’s some demonic entity he’s made a deal with and most likely the other is the timeless child so that’s where time lords get their regenerations from. so the other made gallifrey. it was there in the planning sessions it helped in the military coup it made them nigh-immortal. the other made gallifrey what it is despite gallifrey being consistently terrible to it.
