Oh, this is gorgeous! You sucker us in with hilarious exchanges between the two of them, such as this:

"So that great slave revolt that 'revolutionized Cygnus IV', that didn't make the history books?"

He glared at her. "It temporarily slipped my mind!"

"Riiight. Says Mr. Time Lord. But really, there's only two planets that are dangerous?"

"What, not counting yours?"

"Mine?"

"You wouldn't believe the trouble you humans cause me!"

"Don't mind returning the favour, now, do you?"

but then soon turn the tables when the conversation becomes bleak, the Doctor talking about Gallifrey and telling Rose that he's the one who destroyed it. Love her method for letting him know he's not alone, and the ending is so right: she did decide that she wanted to make sure he wouldn't be alone:

she wouldn't stand for being told that this was dangerous, too much for her, too little for her. If she did get burned by it, it was only because he was on fire himself, and she had no intention of letting him burn alone.

The kiss was like fire, and she threw herself in.

Lovely!

Thank you so much! ^^ Ah, you make it sound so duplicitous... ;) But I'm very, very glad it worked, especially the ending, because I wasn't entirely sure it wasn't a bit too much. I am so glad you enjoyed it...
