A very good arrangement, all told, especially given that Donna and 10.5 share a sensibility. Loved the lovely bit of the Doctor giving in to his feelings for Rose. I suppose that with part of Donna's mind in him, 10.5 isn't as attached to Rose as the Doctor is. She's nice, but that's just not the way he leans.

Glad to see this, and looking forward to more!

The funny thing is, it seems so logical once you start thinking about it. And the contrast between a very romantic relationship and a more earthy one is very nice.

You're right, it seems to make perfect sense! And it feels so good to see Rose back with the Doctor, as they both wanted so much. I smiled at the snowflakes -- John and Penny were writing about snowflakes on different planets in my story, back in the chapter when Penny met Jackie.

By the way, I assume you intended to put most of your story under a cut? It seems to be malfunctioning.

I've been having a lot of difficulty with LJ cuts ever since I downloaded Firefox Three - I've had another twiddle and I hope it's working now.

The snowflake idea originally came from a lovely picture swankkat did of the two of them looking at a snowflake. I wanted to restore that sense of wonder to him.

I thought of that picture, too -- it is indeed lovely.
