Oh, this was wonderful!!! The whole epic was wonderful and you did a fantastic job with the story, plot and all the entangled emotions involved therein :)
I LOVED that Brem was going to write his memoirs - and the name of them LOLOL!
It was also great to see everybody get a vacation with each other - and that Rose and the Doctor had some quality alone time :D
I think one of the most interesting things about this entire story is that even though you don't directly address it, all throughout, the Doctor knows that Rose will grow old and eventually leave him and the kids. Instead of worrying about it, he seemed to treasure every moment that he has with her. That's so applicable to our own lives and makes your story all the more poignant.

Ah, yes. Brem got naming rights. ;-)
"all throughout, the Doctor knows that Rose will grow old and eventually leave him and the kids. Instead of worrying about it, he seemed to treasure every moment that he has with her. That's so applicable to our own lives and makes your story all the more poignant."
Why, thank you! This does get addressed a bit more in the ficlets, but the Doctor really has made a decision not to worry so much about it.
****Sniff**** I feel like I just said goodbye to a dear friend lives far away. Its a bittersweet feeling. Had a wonderful visit but so sorry its over already. This was so delightful. Will be waiting for those ficlets. Hope they come fast and furious. I want to see what Brem is like at 5, 6, 7 and goodness can't wait until he's a teenager!
What a lovely ending! The Dancing is pure, pure squee. And I love that you let them all have some fun, even cranky Owen (who was probably secretly thrilled by the parallel heroics). I'd definitely read Brem's memoirs, especially his thoughts on home decorating and iced tea. :)
On a general note, thank you so much for writing this. It's been a pleasure to read and you've collected such a fun group of people to share thoughts with. *applauds*
I could see the dancing so clearly that the rest of the epilogue was actually organized around that one moment. (And yes, I agree that Owen loved the idea that he had been a hero in Pete's World.)

You really, you deserve a medal and for so many reasons. First of all, this thing is enormous (not that I'm complaining)-- how did you ever finish it? You have the best perserverence. Secondly, it's just so consistantly, perfectly lovely and in character and original and funny and overall one of my all time favorites, cross fandom. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It's beautiful! *hugs*

His memoirs would indeed be far-flung. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed!
