Like others, I love how Martha Jones is bigger on the inside. You capture her very well here, and handled the big, frightening implications on Billy Shipton's life excellently; it'd be terrifying to know that much about yourself, down to the day you die. Wonderful fic.

Did I never comment on this? Well, let me say that like everybody else I'm impressed by your portrait of Martha, and struck as I never was before with the sadness of Billy Shipton's fate. By some standards he was very successful: married, had a thriving business -- but he died almost alone. No wonder, as he said to Sally at the end, he now thought that life was long.
