Thought on Priestess-Doc?

I really, really like it. Personally, I need to see WLW PriestDoc. I'm not done reading Babel yet, but I just find the relationship between them utterly intriguing. It's one of the few things about "canon" Doctor writing that I like. I wish they'd explore it more. And commit to her being the canon endgame love interest, even if it pisses off all the self-inserters. That'd be ballsy, but gratifying.

This is a slight tangent, but I'm reminded of the game "SOMA". It posits some really interesting philosophical questions about morality and what constitutes a life, a soul, and the meaning of preservation in the face of destruction. I'm getting similar vibes from the conflict between choosing to continue with Priestess's plan or not. You've come this far, is it worth it to throw it all away? Will all that sacrifice be for nothing?

I also recently read a Priestess/FemDoctor fic and it was good--the portrayal of their Doctor fell in line to how I think my own Doctor would feel. Or rather, how I would like to see their dynamic play out. Doctor misses her and wants to be with her again. They're incomplete without her. Watering it down to Priestess being "evil" or "yandere" is very lame; she's by no means "good", and there's no doubt she cares more about Doctor and the Precursors than the Terrans, but I'm harkening back to how some people are so quick to label Kristen Wright as bad/evil. Though it's on a drastically greater scale, I think it comes down to selfishness.

But I'm rambling. Yes, I really like Priestess and I greatly enjoy Priestess/Doctor and my only wish is that there's more of her and a female Doctor.
