Yay I'm been waiting for this ever since you mentioned you needed a beta for it! It most certainly didn't disappoint me - that was really heartbreaking :3 Ooh I do love a good Merlin/Doctor Who crossover.

Thank you. Between this, Merlin Redux and my Paperlegends, I'm going to be a gibbering wreck by the summer. But it's possibly worth it :)

Glad you enjoyed!

Yay you posted! You already know I love this but I'll say it again here, amazing job Jades!!!

[jadesfire]

I get there in the end :)

*smishes you* Couldn't do it without you, love. Thank you!

Gorgeous and heartwrenching, absolutely perfect crossover.<3

[jadesfire]

Thank you. Some things just *work*, and I'm glad it came across on the page like it did in my head :)

I have such a thing for Merlin/Doctor Who crossovers, and this is the crossover I've always longed for. Thanks very much for sharing!

[jadesfire]

Thank you so much. Once I hit on the idea, it wouldn't let me go, so I'm chuffed it worked for others as well :) So glad you enjoyed.

So sad, that Merlin is even older than the Doctor. I liked how they both understood about loneliness and being apart. Loved the little thing about Merlin going back to check and rubbing his chest as he says it. Oh, Merlin. Well done.

Thank you so much. I think once I worked out that on this timeline, Merlin would be older than the Doctor, the whole thing just clicked. So glad you enjoyed, and thank you for the lovely rec :D
