This was a stunning story and a very original read. I wasn't sure where you were taking it, but I'm glad I stuck around for the ride.
You have a beautiful style. Little bits like this made my heart melt. How his hearts had leapt that night when he’d caught sight of Rose in her little blue denim jacket, her head cocked over to one side, holding out that fairy cake with a giggle and a smile that spoke volumes about how well she knew him.
Thank you very much! I wasn't sure where I was taking it either. It changed many times as I wrote. The ending will never please everybody but I tried to give all the characters what they deserved, and I achieved that as well as I ever will, I think.
Wonderful job! There's something sweet about the way the Doctor got to "preserve" Rose so that she could have a fantastic life with Ten II... I wonder what Donna thinks of doppelganger Rose... Anyway. it was a fun read! Thanks so much for writing it!
I didn't like the idea of him preserving a real Rose, so I tried to give him what he needed most without doing that. I've a feeling Donna will be OK with it. Ten's pretty high-maintenance and she'll be getting some back-up without it making her feel second-best. Also, with a Time Lady's mind, she'll maybe understand him a bit better.
(I’m easily confused, especially when my head’s a mess like it is right now, so I had to read this twice over to make sure I had read it right.)
And although it might not be the result I wanted (because yes, I am still remarkably ambivalent about Ten II), Ten proper isn’t on his own and he has a Rose of sorts. And Donna is fixed and happy too.
Yes, I can deal with this much more easily than I think I ever will with Journey’s End; thank you so much for it.
It was actually quite important to me that it brought you some closure. I normally try not to write to specific readers but I know you're struggling with the same things as me and having a bit of a hard time.
I think, in fact, you might find it easier to deal with your mixture of responses towards Ten II if you wrote about him. I was surprised how he came to life and became very likeable and true.

I hope you begin to feel better very soon.
