The way you opened this piece was really vivid and sweet, you set such an atmosphere of happiness, I loved the mentioning of soufflés and "companions". I loved the picture of Oswin sitting on top of the jungle gym, and the way you described Eleven climbing up to join her was amazing, all long limbs and sweetness, such lovely description :D I really enjoyed their dialogue, Oswin deciding which position she would apply for and his giving her the music player. I loved the way you described the Doctor's eyes, and that sweet, swift kiss he gave her, too fast for her to react or realize, and then the way he was suddenly gone, as though he'd been but a dream. The last sentence of that part was just stunning, and the Dalek!Oswin part was really haunting as always, so fragmented and vivid and desperate. Very well done! :D

Oh yay, I wanted that opening part to hint on the Doctor and her past, but basically be about happiness. I imagine her echo lives are basically normal really, the pitfalls and joys until she sees what she's really doing there

Matttttttt ♥
Indeed, the ending was really powerful in terms of acting and emotion… Poor Oswin ♥
You're welcome-and thanks about my icon! Haha, I have so many and I change so often, I never have any idea which one people are referring to, the current one or whichever I might have had at the time of commenting :D

This is lovely and such a nice look at Oswin -- and how Clara and the Doctor are sort of entwined in each other's lives...

[run_remember]

Yeah, they sort of are entwined, love that description.

Thank you so much!
