Oh...oh...oh...this is just...breathtaking. I've so enjoyed every second of it.

[io_aenaria]

Oh, yay. :) I'm glad you like it, especially since I know I changed a bit in this chapter from the last version you saw. Thank you for all of your help with the story - you really helped to make it as good as it could possibly be.

[io_aenaria]

Thank you for reading! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed the story. It does feel a bit weird that the story's ending after so long, but the verse will continue on, lol. So anything you wanna see happen, let me know... ;)

I feel like this is the end of an era or something! Beautiful end to a beautiful story! I really, really hope there'll be lots of follow up stories :-D

[io_aenaria]

Whoo hoo, I have an era. Go me! ;) LOL, okay, I'm definitely feeling silly by now. But yeah, it's a bit strange considering how much of my life this story has taken up. I'm really glad you like the ending, it means a lot to hear that. And yes, there will be follow up stories. ;) Anything you especially want to see?

Ending it with Gemma = COMPLETELY LOVELY AND PERFECT. ::happy sigh:: Wow, it always amazes me to see long WIPs end. It truly is like the end of an era. And it was BRILLIANT the whole way through. :D :D :D

Whew! I'm glad you thought that ending the story with Gemma was perfect, because I have to admit I was damn nervous about it. ;) Between the lack of D/R and Gemma doing something very timey-wimey, it had the potential to be a big disaster. ;)

To be honest, I'm amazed I finished the story too. One of my biggest fears was that I wouldn't be able to finish, and that this would be left as yet another unfinished reunion fic. I'm not a fan of posting my stories as WIPs (and most of my stories are a lot shorter than this as well-the final word count on FF.net for this piece is just shy of 60,000) but RTD announcing that Rose would be back for S4 put me into panic mode, LOL...

Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout the story - it really means a lot to me. :)

Holy crap, I somehow missed a chapter or two here. But that's alright - I got to read them at once. I love it, seriously. And fittingly, it all comes full circle. :D I'm glad Gemma took to TARDIS life so well, but I'm even more glad Rose found her Doctor and made/kept some great friends along the way. Priya and the others took her story quite well!

[io_aenaria]

If there was one thing I could always guarantee with this story, it's that it would have a happy ending. :) I'm so glad that you love it; hearing that really means a lot to me.

Gemma's a definite character in her own right, that's for sure. I've got some ideas about what's happened to her in the interim, but yes, she's definitely taken to TARDIS life. And remember, technically Priya was in the hospital that ended up on the moon in Smith and Jones. So they know weird things do happen in this world. ;)

Full circle, I think that's a very appropriate term for this story. :) Thanks so much for sticking with the story!
