This makes me ache for them, but in the best way. Really, I could quote every word back to you, but these were some of my favorite bits:

The air around them thickens with conversations that have yet to begin. The Doctor is new and bruised, fresh from Bad Wolf Bay and placed in the company of a girl who is older now, and not as gentle as she once was. They are easily hurt; they can easily hurt one another.

They don't talk about applegrass and bazoolium. They don't talk about burning Daleks and bad wolves. They don't talk about one heart or darker roots, or age lines that carve the thin skin at their eyes, their lips.

Rose is so weary of being a stranger. In this world, in the family that her real mother and fake father and inexplicable brother have started. In this duo of theDoctorandRose, which is not like the one she knows from before.

~

He's always a bit wild now, this Doctor, and lost. His gaze is shot with constellations that no one knows but him, so much so that Rose swears could travel ten thousand new universes in

I was just rereading your Howling Trilogy last night and now this. Wow. When you write you really write, with power and something else that just pulls the reader in until the story is in charge. Mesmerism, I suppose. It's such a wonderful experience to read like that. So few author's have it, but you have it in spades.

This is absolutely beautiful. I don't really know what else to say; it was just gorgeous and moving and beautiful. Thank you for sharing this story. <3
