That was a delightful story. I've always thought that the most natural place for them to have gotten together would be after Boomtown. It just feels like that perfect moment where everything is balancing on a precipice and they have to decide whether or not to jump or go on as they've always done. I love the way you made them jump here. It's sweet and realistic and very gently loving. Wonderful job.

*squee* This is perfect. You've got the dialogue spot-on.

I love your Jack in full big-brother mode.

even if that man is Mickey, idiot man-child that he is lol, this is exactly how I think the doctor would think of Mickey, at least, at this point in the series.

Lovely story!

This was wonderful!!! I love how you write these two and the last scene of Boomtown is a great springboard for fic and you did a wonderful job. I too used the end of Boom Town for my fic since Rose and the Doctor are NOT together the entire episode of Bad Wolf! LOL It was great to read the same scenario from a different perspective :)

Awww, yeah, I think this was a great place for them to get together. Mickey's gone, we have two more adventures (off screen) before the GameStation, and it's kinda now or never for them.
