Thank you!

I love the way you've interspersed his past regenerations into this

It was fun going through the past Doctors and finding quotes. The only one I missed was Eight (and Ten, but somehow that didn't matter so much), because I couldn't find anything quite right, even if I opened up to the books and radio plays. But I really wanted all of the past Doctors in here, because he really is sort of walking through his life, kicking up his own memories.

I also loved that the very first thing he remembers is Rose, even though he can't quite figure out who she is just yet. But then, that might just be the Doctor/Rose shipper in me talking. ;)

Sort of, but it's the Doctor/Rose shipper in me writing it. *grin* I justify it by saying Rose is the most important person in the world to him - so she's going to float to the surface no matter what he does. And we've already seen in canon that when he loses all sense of self (as in Human Nature), Rose is still such a strong force for him, she's the only name he remembers of his past life. Made it appropriate here that Rose will be the only thing he actually remembers, even if he doesn't know why.
