Review of The Wormery by quartz_

19 December 2024

This review contains spoilers!

love this story, overall!

Sixie being so depressed after the Trial, beloved. And Iris! Iris, Iris, Iris, carelessly stepping all over his feelings with no idea what she's doing and a bit too many drinks in her.

But, of course, her drinking is plot relevant, here! Hilarious, I love it, there's bloody tequila worms, half of whom want to freeze time forever, half of whom want to use Iris's singing voice to cause chaos all throughout the universe. And Iris can only hear them when she's drunk, and initially she just thought she was hearing the Voices because she was out of it. But no. It's the tequila worms. Oh, and they also plan to take over hijacking the minds of every alcoholic ever. Hilarious.

Oh, and did I mention Bianca? Iris's version of the Valeyard, babey!!

(Bit of an odd point where six falls in love (????) with Bianca, and Iris, the overdramatic dear, has a whole tearful love confession to make to him. It's hilarious, and amazing, and though Iris is being overdramatic there's some truth to her, and just- ough, Iris, beloved.)

Anyway, fun Magrs story :)

Also!!! Seven being the one who's being told the story???? Promising to keep the tapes safe???? Oh my god, yes! This does prove that the Doctor does, in fact, care for Iris, no matter how much they may protest. It being Seven is particular is so heartwarming (with context of Muse of Fire. I wonder whether it's before or after?)
