Sorry about the late reply, but thank you so much! This is my first Doctor Who fic, so I was super nervous about writing in this fandom! I had to do AH and AU for my first one, and I'll probably keep at it for a little while until I get comfortable enough to delve into the Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey of rewrites and canon manipulating, lol. Thank you again for your kind words!

Also, as of right now I have plans for this to be a loose trilogy. I'm currently writing the second story out in my head and hope to type it up sometime tonight.

Oh, that was so sad but I'm glad that Rose kept her perspective.

Oh I know, I was making my own heart ache while I was writing this one. The next one will be a bit angsty again, but it WILL have a happy ending, promise!

Can I just?

and when he is not looking, she adds in five extra pairs of socks.

like The Girl Who Is In Love and The Boy Who Isn’t.

Okay, so I cried. A little.

She had not expected him to write letters; he talked far too much and was far too impatient to sit down in one spot and actually pen down all those thoughts.

Lol, how true!

All she can do, and is doing; is wait. She will stay here and work, and he will travel but always come back.

She is home.

:(

This was gorgeous. Made me smile, laugh, and get a little teary eyed. I hope you write more on this because it's brilliant! Most definitely AU in the sense that, besides the fact that it's AH, it has Rose waiting. I hope that, in the end, she does join him, though.

Only one little thing: and she hopes that he feels the same way, and she thinks that she does as he puts an arm around her and pulls her into a tight hug.

Wow, I'm glad you liked it so much. I didn't mean to make you cry though! I will definitely be writing more in this universe. At least two more. The hopes are that this will be a loose trilogy.

You are right of course about my little mistake, I will fix it shortly, thanks for pointing it out for me!

[silverlunarstar]

Glad to hear! Looking forward!

Your first Doctor Who fic, wow. Incredibly well done and it made me tear up a little but lovely hope at the end. We all need hope when it comes to the Doctor and Rose. Hope to read more from you. Cheers :)

I'm so glad to hear that you liked it, but I have a hard time believing my words brought anyone to tears, lol! I don't think the next part of the series will be TOO hopeful, definitely very angsty, but the third part should be positively brimming with it, lol! I'm actually hoping to post it up sometime tonight.

BTW, I love your icon, so cute!

[emraldeyedauter]

Wonderful I look forward to reading it.

Re the icon - it was made for me by alizarin_skies I bid on her services during an auction early last year and as part of the agreement she made me this icon. I requested the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler with their two sons dressed as the Tenth and Fifth Doctors, thereby including all my favourite Doctors. If you haven't seen Ally's work do go check out our live journal. She hasn't been on much lately but she is wonderfully talented and while this particular icon is not shareable you'll find many on her journal that you can use but please give her credit.

The icon I'm using with this post is also one of hers
