A Pleasant Picnic

Characters/Pairing: Danny
Warnings: Mild animal violence
Spoilers: Series 3 finale


Life in the Pliocene was no picnic.

The days were long and dry, leaving him parched. The nights were even longer and colder, only a small fire providing him warmth.

He scrounged what edible vegetation he could find. When he was really lucky, he found a rat or other rodent to kill.

The worst part was the isolation. With no other intelligent life around him, he resorted to chatting with his walking stick.

But sometimes, when he stayed up to watch the sun paint the sky a myriad of colors over the pristine landscape, Danny found life was almost pleasant.

Nice look at Danny lost in the past. Is that the first Molly?

Nice to find something to keep you feeling positive in even the worst of circumstances *hugs Danny*

Poor Danny, he must've had a horrible time stuck there by himself (although he had Molly, of course *g*). Nice look at him. :-)

Awwww. Vivid, painful little drabble. I like the touch of beauty at the end in contrast to it all.

Great Danny-focused drabble.

Epic Danny-centric drabble

Aw, poor Danny. But I'm glad he had a moment of almost niceness.

Aw, great look at what his life might've been like. I like that he can find some appreciation for some of it, at least sometimes.

This was really lovely. :) Nicely done.
