Excellent wrap up. I enjoyed seeing how deeply everyone was affected by the experience they had. The plot is resolved, but not their emotions, and closing there gives the whole story more emotional weight.

Yeah, that was my intention. There's still a lot going on under the surface. It's not going to be over fast, because it can't be. For a whhile they were different people, with different intentions, but ultimately they were still themselves. They have to figure out what they found out about themselves. Thanks for the review, and sorry it took so long to reply!

Just read all seven parts in one go, and I think this was an excellent story. You drew me in right at the start and didn't let go.

Of course, you need to write a sequel now and deal with those lingering issues between the Doctor, Rose and Jack. :-)

Yeah, lots of issues going on there between the three of them. Which is why I wanted to write this fic in the first place. It gave me the opportunity to delve into things they might happily ignore until the end of time otherwise. Thanks for the review, and sorry it took so long to reply!

At last! I was wondering what had happened to this. Very, very good conclusion, with lots of loose ends left for a sequel, which I can't wait for :)

There's so much lingering awkwardness and uncomfortableness between them, which is perfectly understandable given the implanted memories and, in Jack's case, the memory of being left behind. The Jack/Doctor conversation brought a lump to my throat.

And now the Doctor thinks he can never be more than a friend to Rose, yet remembers how it felt to be her lover. I don't think he can keep that resolve - at least, I'm hoping not ;)

Excellent story, and I hope it won't be long before the sequel comes along.

Yeah, it was actually the Doctor and Jack scene that held this chapter up. I almost literally wrote it paragraph at a time, I just couldn't get them to interact at all. So it's a relief that it didn't come off as being completely awful.
No, I don't think the Doctor can keep his resolve either, but we'll have to see. In the sequel. Which may or may not be soon. I've just been offered a real job with real money and these things can hinder the whole writing thing. Thanks for the review, and sorry it took so long to reply!

Just lovely, as were the other 6 parts. And a nice ending with plenty to resolve in that promised sequel!

[kazzy]

Aww, thank you! Sequel as soon as possible, I promise.

I just found this, and read the 7 chapters -- it's great, your a good writer! cheers!

[kazzy]

Seven chapters at once - and they're long ones. I'm impressed (I'm also glad you enjoyed them!) Thank you!
