:D I hope astonishing in a good way!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
I so love it!!
But it's so sad.... Donna's saved by River and she can do nothing to save River!
And Donna's also a good actor! She acted as if she didn't know that the Doctor was married!
And I'm so glad that the 2 most important women (his wife and Donna) and Amy get along pretty well. I'm imagining that they will be ganging up on him (at least Amy and Donna) and keep him in check...
I wonder if the Doctor will ever give in to River's advice to go shag Donna for "stress relief" :D
Like River was telling it, it sounded as if River and the Doctor were never intimate, or at least, so it seemed to me.
But I might be wrong, after all, River is a 51st Century girl (although being brought up in Leadworth) and she might "handle" things differently compared to 21st Century people.

I'm glad you thought it was worth the wait! Thank you for tuning in, after all this time ( ... )

This is GORGEOUS, and amazing and wonderful and a whole freaking thesaurus-full of words that basically say that you are the most astonishing writer of one of the most delightful stories I've had the pleasure of reading in a long, long time.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and don't make us all wait months and months for the follow-up, please?!?

Thank you so much! And thank you for always being a cheerleader for all my stories, even when I take ridiculously long. It really does help to know that someone out there wants to know what happens! It's really embarrasing when facing someone who's doing a 50+ chapter novella themselves (and beautifully done, too, thank you for your own writing!) and I can't reliably update something under ten chapters. :/ I'll keep trying to be more prolific and timely!

Wow! So that's how Donna got through the metacrisis.

Eleven's reaction to seeing Donna again, this brings a whole new light to it. Even River realized that the Doctor's feelings for Donna were definitely much more than "just mates," that the tension from that would get in the way of their own relationship (whatever it was). I wonder if the Doctor is ever going to try to take River's advice.....

I have to read that part again, now please don't make us wait so long for another update! I want to see what happens after this....

I'm actually not sure if the Doctor takes River's advice at this point! Donna would certainly have a lot to say about it, wouldn't she? Not sure exactly *what* she'd have to say. :) I'm going on a trip and I tend to get a lot of writing on planes so hopefully the next update will not take 1+ year (sorry about that, by the way!)

Hence the word "try...." I'm not sure that Donna would go for it at this point. He looks more like her son than her contemporary now. They would need to come to some sort of equilibrium. Ten was very different in personality, that's for sure!

Hello! I just started watching Doctor Who a couple months ago, and Donna's definitely my favorite companion so far ( ... )

Thank you for taking the time and letting me know! I know I'm often guilty of enjoying other people's writings and then not giving feedback, so I really appreciate it when someone does. And believe me, NO ONE is every annoyed by having people comment on their stories, no matter how old the stories are! It actually feels pretty nice to know your old work is still being found and enjoyed. So never fear ( ... )

Haha, no worries - no warning needed, at least not for me! When I read this the first time, I had barely started the Moffat era so my only impression of River was from fanfics and Silence in the Library (I still liked her though). I know what you mean about the "Donna helps the Doctor get together with Rose" stories - I can't stand them either. Avoid at all costs! But Doctor/River is so complicated - there is no way that monogamy factors into their non-linear relationship. Would someone really be angry that River wants someone to make sure the Doctor's okay when she's not around? Then again, I guess that makes me kind of a hypocrite about the Rose & Donna stories, haha ( ... )
