As someone who reads and write Doctor Who fanfics, I laughed when you said where your inspiration came from. Loved it! I did not see that time travel part coming, even with the Doctor Who note, so bravo!

Thank you! I'm glad the timey-wimeyness wasn't too obvious.

Thank you!

I love how they're right at the start and don't really know each other (especially how Elizabeth reacts to finding the Major in her bed *g*), and then we get hints of what their relationship becomes as well.

Just what I was going for. I wanted to get them to fall in love before they actually knew each other, because of desssstiny. Yay!

I LOVE this!!! Wow. Time travel! And JANUS!!! Man, Janus is just all over this year's sparktober and I could not love it more. LOVE THAT GUY. And I love time travel and first-season-what-the-heck-are-we-doing-in-this-weird-city fics. This is so great. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it. Yeah, Janus, who knew? He's a super useful ancient ex machina, I guess.

Yes! There should be more of these. There should have been more in the show, for that matter.

ANOTHER FANTASTIC FIC!!!!!

Ugh, this was SO good. All the time-travel stuff was fantastic and I LOVE that you basically fixed their future without really telling us how it happened. Just knowing that in your fic, Elizabeth is okay and she + John work everything out...Such a great feeling.

And I really have to applaud the way your wrote these different versions of the characters. It was really easy to tell which versions were speaking at which times, yet for all their differences, they were still the characters we all recognize. A really hard thing to do yet, you made it look simple.

Another one for the memories, that's for sure :)

Thank you! Fixing the mess TPTB is an exhausting thought. I'd rather just do a hand-wavey time vault over the problem epoch.

Great fic. I love Sparky and Who, but I didn't see the time-travel coming. Yay for Future!Sparky. :)
