Thanks! I wanted it to be very simple and delicate, I'm glad that came across. I really wanted it to reflect how her belief in him still stands despite his newfound lack of belief in himself ... and how he relies on her in a much different way than before now.

It's just a snippet in time for them, but the fic was just begging me to be a one-shot ... how could I refuse? lol

This is such a gorgeous fic, the slow pace and simplicity is wonderful and it's something I can really imagine the characters experiencing! I know you say it's just a one-shot but I would loovee to see more! ;D

Thank you so much!! I really am glad you liked the pacing and simplicity, that is absolutely what I intended for the fic! I definitely expect there will be more fics in this same universe taking place before and after this one - this is the bunny that bit me first though! =D

You gotta love those bunnies, don't you?

Lovely fic... It makes sense that things wouldn't be all peaches-n-cream in Pete's World. That there would be struggles and failures and near failures and frustrations and all that. But the bedrock is them - The Doctor and Rose.

You captured that beautifully!

[strange_charmed]

Thank you, I really appreciate the thoughtful comment - and I'm glad you liked it! =D

And yes, those bunnies certainly have minds of their own sometimes!

-- Lol!

The Doctor closed his eyes at the thought, raking his fingers across his face and feeling the oh-so-human stubble beginning to grow across his chin. He paused, marveling at the odd sensation. He hadn’t yet gotten used to that ... he wasn’t sure he ever would.
-- I like the line of thought you have in this fic, beginning here, about all of the elements - physical and emotional - that this Doctor needs to adapt to/come terms with the limitations of.

He wanted to smile and reassure her, put on an easy grin, make a flippant remark or a joke - and then change the subject to anything else.
-- I want to tell him that wasn't the best way to handle it before, either! ;)

"What if I can't?" he said quietly, flatly, lips becoming even more taut over the words. He felt a tightness in his chest and realized he was holding his breath. He didn’t want to know her reaction … he didn’t need

I had a feeling that you'd manage to pick out my favorite line in here - good to see my confidence wasn't misplaced haha! Also note the lack of a toaster-moment - he can fix it, but it's a moral thing not an ability thing! Ngl, I had our conversation in mind as I was writing that =)

Glad you liked it! =)

- Never doubt! ;) Besides, it really IS a great line!

Thank you for the lack 'o' toaster incompetence - oh, you know me well.

Ngl, I had our conversation in mind as I was writing that That's kind of awesome.
