Oh, this is terribly sad. And yet, under other circumstances, I could see it.

*pets Jack & Martha, invites them over for tea*

Thanks for the feedback. And yes, absolutely, tea solves *everything* - it's a basic tenet (*snerk* - I seriously just wrote "a basic Tennant") of my religion...

I wanted to comment on the story because I really enjoyed it, but everyone has pretty much covered everything I wanted to say, except for one thing. Your summary is one of the best I have seen. In two small sentences you managed to convey exactly what the story was about and with dry humor helped raise my intrest to read it. Exactly what a summary should do. That may sound like small praise, but I have a pet peave regarding summaries that make no sense until you have read the story, or in some cases even after. So, I thank you for your summary in addition to the actual story!

First off, thank you so much for commenting. Secondly, thanks for letting me know that the summary worked for you. Summaries are something I often struggle with.

Interestingly, with this one, the "You too, huh?" summary crystallised in my mind before I knew exactly how the fic would go... it wasn't till afterwards that I wondered if "Love the one you're with" would be more appropriate. And then I discovered they actually worked kind of well together... but it's reassuring to see they worked for someone else as well.

Thanks again for the feedback - I really do appreciate it!

Oh! *hugs them*

Ouch :(

Yeah, the poor wee souls. I'm glad it *didn't* end up this way.

Thanks for commenting :-)
