Finally! One of the Time Lord Fairy Tales is all about the Time Lords! Well, okay, there are no Time Lords whatsoever in it, but it takes place on Gallifrey! Well, okay, in takes place in some forest on Gallifrey that is nowhere near any populated area, and could be any forest on any planet, but at least a couple of locations get name-dropped.

Based on the fairy tale Babes in the Wood, the skin is the same, but the babes don't die when they're covered with leaves. Honestly, I don't know what the reader is supposed to take from this story. Except maybe further proof that twins and Doctor Who do not a winning combination make.

I like this one a lot, and it's definitely the sort of fairy tale I can see being told to Gallifeyan children, it does have a happy and hopeful ending, but it paints the outside world as dangerous, and Gallifrey itself as a place of safety, where you can life comfortably even out in the woods.

I think as a fairy tale there's maybe a little much dialogue, but eh, I'm nitpicking.
