Title: And Confess Your Love As Well As Your Folly
Pairings: 10.5/Rose
Rating: R, not overly explicit but just to be safe
Genre: Angsty romance but still mostly happy
Author's Note: I know I promised an update to YAMH but I saw leeson's prompt at the doctor_rose_fix Spring Fling Ficathon and simply could not resist as I adore the song White Blank Page by Mumford and Sons.

This is lovely. You've captured them both perfectly. Love the last line.

Thank you! I have not written much TenII so I am always a bit nervous when I try but somehow this fic just seemed to click right away.

even as she fidgets with the wedding band on her finger.

As angst-y as the whole thing was, this just cut the cake because, even when they're married they're still affected. I love it! It's heartbreaking that they're still tortured by their memories even when they have happy ones to make up for it, but it shows that they don't just forget everything that they've been through even though they've moved on with their shared life. They don't let the memories affect them, per say, but they're still there and I love how they draw comfort from one another until soon it will dwindle because they, as much as time, have healed one another.

^.^ I am glad you like it and yes I hadn't even decided they were married yet or when this was set exactly until that line just sort of happened and I went with it. White Blank Page is such a brilliantly bittersweet song but I knew they had to be ultimately happy and this just seemed like the best way to capture that.
