That's adorable. I absolutely love the ceremonial words, and the Doctor's nervousness is just delightful.

Thank you!

The Doctor's nervousness around Rose is his cutest canon trait, I think. It's so adorable.

Fantastic! :-)

The end of LotTL scenes were very nicely done - recognisable as being part of canon but different enough to feel refreshed and not to be boring. (Particularly amused by how easily Rose got it and the Doctor didn't have a clue Martha was going to leave until she actually did.)

The ceremony itself was lovely - sweet and heartfelt and I love the idea of it being a promise of equals.

The teasing between them was nice and the banter was sweet. All in all, wonderful ficlet! :-)

I'm really glad that worked for you. I wanted to transition Martha and Jack back into their canonical places but without being repetitive about it.

Awww.

Is it wrong that I wish this had been the Children in Need special, and then whatever followed would have been the Christmas special post series 3?

Thanks!

I wouldn't mind either, especially with all the kissing! That's a really sweet thing to say.

(I've actually got some plot ideas for covering some of S4, but it's amazing how incredibly obvious it is, just looking at it, that things will be very different with Rose around)

Oh that's wonderful, like they've gone full circle. *sniff* Just lovely.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked the story.

Heh, I love this. Romantic and lovely and so very them. Looking forward to more adventures if you write any!!

[butterfly]

Thank you very much!

I'm actually currently looking through S4 and tinkering with some of the plots to see how they'd work with Rose there. We will see if anything comes of it.
