Interesting right turn. Somehow this is a little sad to me. They seem happy enough, but somehow it made me melancholy. I picture them older and a little more hurt and broken in this fic. Especially Rose. It could also be that I'm just as gloomy today as the weather here and you should pay me no mind.
Maybe because I adore who Peter and Rose are in the 'real' Pete's world. (All the alt. alt universe stuff could get confusing aye?) I think, even if Peter and Rose had to go through so much...I'm glad it was a left turn. This fic made me like who they became in TWoT even more which I didn't think was possible.

Well...Rose is certainly more broken in this fic. She's had a far harder time of it, and the one thing which she loved and gave her purpose has been yanked away from her, through no (well, very little) fault of her own. Peter...Peter's had a hard time, too, but he's not nearly so broken as the version in ASTG. It's just..different. *shrugs*
I'm actually fascinated by your reply, because there *is* an odd note of melancholy to the fic, which I'd not really noticed before.

Rose just makes me ache in this fic. I don't know why. It's a whole different side of her.

Oh, absolutely. The experiences make the person--and Rose has had some terrible experiences. All because Peter wasn't a DI in Kendal.

I know this is going to sound completely out of left field, but for me it's almost like the differences between Will and Professor Maguire in Good Will Hunting.
