Wow. Just wow. This is officially getting filed away as my personal brain canon, because it’s just that damn beautiful and perfect. Also, I’ve rarely seen 2nd-person PoV used this effectively. Awesome fic.

I am so flattered by this comment because I was mightily nervous about using second person POV. Now I'm proud to have stuck with it.

*points up* My first thoughts exactly. Totally canon, and just gorgeous. <3

I know a fic has worked when I get it to infiltrate people's headcanon. Thank you.

This is both lovely and adventure, and I want to cling to it. Thank you!

Aww, you're welcome. It was fun to write.

This is so lovely! Ganger!Doctor as Jack's companion, what an utterly brilliant idea. :D I love the plot about the plants on the space station; the Doctor's changed sense of Jack's Factness; Jack handing over the Vortex Manipulator, just like that, as he would - and the Doctor giving it back ... ♥ So many wonderful details, right up to the classic "Buy me a drink first" line. ♥ ♥ ♥

This is probably my favourite passage:

All of time, from the Big Bang to heat death, rotates about a fixed point, and you know him. You trust him. Every other feature of the space-time continuum is cold and impersonal by comparison. You know the Time Vortex well enough, but it isn't your friend.

Thank you so much! :)

Your enjoyment of this fic leaves me fulfilled! I've read and admired your Ten/Jack fic for a long time, so I really wanted to write a Doctor/Jack fic you'd like. The prompt you gave me about Jack with two Doctors instantly took over my brain. It was a good prompt and fun to write.

Happy holidays and a sweet New Year to you.

*blushes* Thank you so much, I hardly know what to say! I just wanted to let you know your comment made me incredibly happy. ♥ ♥ ♥

Best wishes to you too! :)

This is lovely! Your use of second-person in this works wonderfully, and your characterizations are spot on. Great job with this!

A lot of thought went into the POV for this fic - second person is rare and I didn't want to scare people off - and I'm so happy it worked for you!
