Seriously, can I just tell you how I almost burst into happy tears when I got the text from unfolded73 that I had to go look at how many times it had been reblogged and what people were saying in their tags? Thank you, so much. :)

It worked for me. Thank you so much for pimping this, ladyprydian. I'm so glad you're back with this story, fid_gin. It's a great beginning and I'm waiting patiently (well, at least I'm trying, because I know how it works) for the next chapter.

Thanks so much! Next chapter will hopefully go up this weekend. :)

I just read your whole series not long ago, so consider me excited for another addition to it. I love how you had Rose questioning why she should help and risk losing him all over again, though she does know.

I do wonder what the right Rose will say when presented with herself. Does she remember and has just been keeping quiet about it, or will there be some other interesting forces at work.

Thank you so much! It's great to hear both from those who love revisiting the 'verse after a long hiatus, and those who only recently discovered it! :)

I'm new to this fandom, too, so still exploring all kinds of fic. So it's nice to see something new from a series I enjoyed, since I've already encountered a few authors who are awesome but no longer writing. I saw this and was like, hey! I know that 'verse! Yay!

FAN. TASTIC.

I love the idea that in all her jumping, Rose finds the Doctor further down the timeline. (I will here admit I was trying something similar, and it was also set aside due to the addition of baby to family.)

I really like that Rose and Ten2 disappeared into the Bubble Universe first, and had been gone for so long - almost as if the universe had set them aside because it knew the paradox was coming. And I wonder now - does Rose remember all of this happening? Will she put two and two together and realize that this separation is so that her younger self can come and comfort the Doctor when he needs it most - and now that Baby!Rose is going home, she and Ten2 will return home as well?

(I can't help but think that Rose wouldn't mind the sexing. I mean, Ten2 might be a bit put off that it happened in his bed, but ultimately it's not like the Doctor cheated. Sort of. I think

Thank you so much! It is so WEIRD, and wonderful, to be back!

Eeep! So, so, so excited for more Lovedverse and especially Rose/Rose!!!!!!

Everything about this is perfect- the difference between this Rose and Lovedverse Rose and the Doctor cataloging those differences, the description of Rose's dimension hopping, the sex, the Doctor's sadness,
Rose's questioning (does she know about the Doctor's relationship with the other Doctor and Rose?), everything. I'm excited to see where the other two ended up and how the rescue plan goes. Glad you decided to publish this!

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you liked it! And of course I know your manips (which you mentioned before you edited) - you're in my rec list, silly! If you ever feel inspired by my 'verse, I always love to see what you come up with. :)

I'm glad the differences between young!Rose and older!Rose comes through - that was really important to me and plays a bigger role in the later chapters.
