Ach! Beautiful! The romantic tension builds up and up toward that final breathtaking image. I love how their care for each other is so obvious and mutual and important beyond (and including) the physical.

Btw, this is my first ever Who fic! I finished S1 last night and started S2, so it's delightful to find a Nine/Rose fic waiting at home this evening. :D

It's intriguing to me how fans keep joining the Who phenomenon. DVDs have revolutionized how fandoms work. :D

I'm so glad you enjoyed this fic! I'm really grateful for your comment, and honored that you read my little try first! :D

I can point you to some active LJ comms and a great archive when you're ready. :)

Lovely! I had concerns at first about a massage on damaged tissue, but they were addressed very well. Everything flowed beautifully and I adore the ending. Fabulous!

I was so glad to have a prompt for my entry into Who fic -- so thanks for the wonderful inspiration. I'm glad it worked for you!

I hope if you ever have fic languishing on the hard drive -- just speak up. I am an encouraging beta! :)

What a beautiful loving fic you have written.

The tension you build through Rose's act of caring for the Doctor's injury was well done. Your descriptive details were perfect for the tone of your story.

I especially loved this part:
Rose couldn't look away -- his cool hand warming in hers, her lips tingling from their brush against the icy wound, his gaze seeming to plead with her for something more, some deeper connection.  Her heart was pounding now, her body frozen in the moment. Mustering all her courage she leaned forward a hair's breadth, never breaking his gaze.   She held on to his hand, praying with all her heart that he could feel how much she cared for him, how she'd care for him forever, if he'd let her.

And then a joyful fitting ending!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I really love the relationship between Nine and Rose -- he's in so much mental distress and she's so good for him. :D

thanks very much for taking time for such a thoughtful comment -- I appreciate it!
