I can't tell you how much I love this. This, this is wonderfully brilliant and sad and amazing.

This makes me wish I had many more adjectives and enough that would describe it.

The repetition of it is simple and haunting. The description of the forest, their meeting place, somewhere serene and I think it fits for all the rush each of them have had to deal with. So fast paced and they never thought of just stopping and being because they thought they'd always be there. I love the waiting. I love how she tries to tell him but they focus on their last moments. I love the talk about his change, the wildness and how he says he's going to live. I love it all. To bits. Itty bitty bits.

Thank you so much. I keep meaning to write Rose/Doctor, but I can never manage it.

Comments like this make me never want to stop writing. <3

Jesus, MJ, this is beautiful.

The way it goes back on itself as it goes forward, and uses what at the beginning seems promising and turns it into something sad is just sublime. It's a little bit heartbreaking in the most perfect of ways.

only you can make sex so soul-crushingly, suicidally depressing.

My husband has been saying this for years.

That piece moved me so much. I can hardly see the screen through my tears. I don't know why the Doctor and Rose affect me so much but they often seem as real a couple as anything else. Call it obsession I don't care but they are beautiful together just like this story. Thank you.
