Ooh, you brought it full circle back to The Waters of Mars! I like. =D Also, I'm very glad that he finally told Rose that he loves her and that they finally consummated the relationship (well, they already did in a timey-wimey sort of way, but that doesn't count).

So sad that this is now over! Well done, m'dear!

*hugs you* Thanks for all the lovely comments. I'm really glad you enjoyed - I know this story was a bit on the angsty side for you.

Thanks again :)

Angsty-angst is usually fine if there's a happy ending. =D

cookie2697 December 12 2009, 05:15:13 UTC

Agreed! I don't believe in angst without a happy ending! I just think that complicated emotions make for a better story!

Squee!!!

So sorry for taking so long to reply! It's been a crazy week!

This whole thing just made me squee and bounce and giggle. I laugh hysterically every time you say sexy tiems. LOLOL. Yes, yes, they did ;)

BWAH, and I love that you felt the need to compare the two sexy tiems. I totally felt that past Doctor deserved a bit more in this scene to one up Future!Doctor a bit, and I struggled with it mightily, so I'm glad it worked for you.

I LOVED his nervous ramble, you aced that! *draws ♥ around that line and hugs it and squishes it and takes it home* And I love you dearly for this comment. *folds it up neatly, sticks it in my pocket, and keeps it forever ( ... )

And the scarred timelines thing is just awesome; I don't think I've seen that in another fic before. At least, not quite like this. :D I love it. I MIGHT HAVE TO STEAL THAT SOMEDAY Y/Y?! xD

Oh, go for it! I'd love to see what you could do with that! I'd LOVE to see what you do with it. DO IT!! *grin*

Also I love it when ideas like that come to me AS I'm writing, that's so much fun when that happens.Yes, me too. I think it makes for a more organic writing process too, just to see how things develop naturally and what ideas just seem RIGHT when you get there. I mean, I think I might have mentioned this in the first chapter feedback responses, but I had NO INTENTION of any sexy tiems in Chapter one when I sat down and started writing. My INTENT at the beginning was to give Future!Ten the kiss on the beach at the end and have that be the first physical anything. And then I was writing the scene with Wilf and Sylvia, and the Doctor showed up, and he was being all sexy, and it just SEEMED RIGHT. And as I was writing it I kept ( ... )

Ohh that was brilliant! The BBC should have picked you up to write for them seriously!

Then again, I guess it's just common knowledge that the Doctor is better when he has Rose. (And Donna too, but mostly Rose!)

cookie2697 December 11 2009, 16:54:28 UTC

Dude, I'll take that job! LOL! If only!

Thanks for the awesome comments! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Oh my GOD, this was an amazing finish to the story! Having Rose and Donna at his side as he left Bowie Base One and them being the ones to "stop him", as Donna put it all those years ago was the perfect way to round out the fic. And Rose and the proper Doctor saying their I Love Yous and having a little fun in the TARDIS. ;) LOVE IT!

I'd be eager to know how the events of Planet of the Dead would have panned out with Donna and Rose with him. One thing's for sure, Christina wouldn't have gotten anywhere NEAR the Doctor's lips, not if Rose had anything to say about it! lol!

Wonderful fic. Loved it from beginning to end.

cookie2697 December 11 2009, 16:56:32 UTC

Thanks for the wonderful feedback!

Yes, having Rose and Donna there is SO vital! I somehow think that he would have needed them to stop him. I hesitated to think that even either one of them alone could stop him.

Interesting comment about Planet of the Dead. I never thought about it, to be honest, but now you've gotten my brain ticking. What WOULD have happened if Rose and Donna had been on the bus? Certainly one of them would have to be with him on the bug ship instead of Christina. And yes, no lips! None at all! Hmmm.

What an excellent conclusion! I especially liked how you brought it around to WOM, back to the start in some ways. And it felt very real and very much like the Doctor and Rose as they had their conversation. I could very easily picture them and see them have the conversation so it was lovely to read!

cookie2697 December 11 2009, 16:58:06 UTC

Yes *nods* It definitely had to come around full circle. To show how things had changed as a result of everything.

I'm glad you enjoyed :) Thanks again for reading - I know you're a little less fandom-active these days on DW and I appreciate you taking the time away from Legend of the Seeker to come play with me over here :)

*hugs you*
