You already know I love this story, and the AU you set up here. I'm so happy for you for getting it to the point where you're happy posting it! :)

[kae_nine]

Thank you! And thanks also for all your help throughout the writing, especially when I got to the Jack-parts. ;)

I am TOTALLY HOOKED. Even if we don't see Donna again (and it seems pretty likely we won't), I will keep replaying that scene in my mind. I didn't know there could be a version sadder than the original, but I now I think there is. (Good on you.)

But oh, poor 10.5. And what will happen next? I'm going to be very sad, aren't I? Will Rose forgive him for not explaining what's happening? Will he forgive himself what what's happened?

Ohhh, can't wait for more. Twice a week, eh? I'll be looking for the next installment!

[kae_nine]

Yay! Hooked is good! Hooked is very good! :)

But yes, sorry about Donna and Ten2. :( I'm extremely flattered that you thought the Donna scene was sadder than the original (which made me cry), though. As for Ten2, I'm afraid I can't claim it's all going to be all right. :/ It broke my heart to do that, because I actually love him to bits, but the story just demanded it.

Will be posting the next chapter tomorrow. Hope it'll have been worth the wait!

Oh wee hee, so excited about this! Can't wait to read more.

[kae_nine]

Thank you! More coming tomorrow. :)

I'm so glad you're posting this at last! It's been a long time in the writing, but so, so worth it. And you're making me cry again with the ending of this chapter!

Hurry up and start comforting them, yeah?

[kae_nine]

Aww. Sorry for making you cry again! And thanks so much again for all your help and support. This story wouldn't ever have been finished without your encouragement!

Oh jeez. It's only the first chapter and already my heart is breaking! Poor 10.5.

A great beginning. I can't guess where it's going to go, but it's great fun trying. I'm wondering if Children of Earth might come into it along the way.

But for now - poor 10.5. The way you got into Donna's mind as she faced her fate was beautifully written and very touching.

And this:

He turned to look at her. Part of him wanted to walk the short distance to her, tug her to her feet, away from a dying body that was too much like his, and crush her to him, seeking comfort in a presence he’d missed for years. Part of him preferred to keep to himself, away from affection and reassurance he didn’t deserve.

“I had no choice!” he said defensively, as if Rose herself had appointed him the culprit for the situation.

A very good acount of Ten's compulsion to pre-empt people accusing him of things he blames himself for.

[kae_nine]

Thanks so much for your detailed comments. :)

I'm wondering if Children of Earth might come into it along the way.

I'm not going to claim that it will... I'd already written Jack into the story by the time I watched CoE, so in my mind, he was in post-Exit Wounds time, but pre-CoE. The temptation to shift things was there, though, but I bravely fought it. ;) (would've been too much to handle for one single fic, I think)

But for now - poor 10.5. The way you got into Donna's mind as she faced her fate was beautifully written and very touching.

Thanks so much!

[kae_nine]

Aww. Sorry! And yes, poor him. :( - I'll have to write something else to make it up to him, really!
