Ah yes, I loved this very much. Its lovely... and fits nicely with the beach scene where Donna pipes up in the half-human Doctor's defence. Very lovely characterization and I think you nailed Donna very well. Great writing style and just the right amount of humor. CHIA PET?! xDDD

I think my favourite part of the fic though was a part of a line which struck me as utterly perfect. Which I think is more to do with awknowledging something about my own view of the half-human Doctor than anything, buuuuut (to quote it...)

"For the first time, she wonders how you deal with a love triangle when two of parties are the same person in every way that counts."

The same man in every way that counts... so so so God damn true! All the talk of what parts of the half-human Doctor are different and how he's picked up Donna's mannerisms etc; it doesn't matter at all! He IS the Doctor and he loves Rose and that's all that ever mattered before and I can't see that changing now. I was completely accepting of the half-human Doctor before but there was always this little "but it's not really him!" niggle that would rear it's ugly head every now and then and I think you just set it to rest for me. Thank you so much! :)

Yeaaah there's a fair amount of disagreement within the fandom as to how much human!Ten is actually like original!Ten, but frankly I've always been on team "whatever, they're the same guy", and to be frank I think the few differences way in human!Ten's favour, at least as far as "suitable long-lasting relationship material" goes. Glad to help convert you! lol

Thank you!
