-- 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 …
Rose tightened her arms around him and brought her head to his shoulder. "You can. You always can. I believe in you," she whispered.
-- <333!
She stood and held out her hand to him. "Come with me,"
-- ISWYDT ;)
I like that Rose supports him when he's doubting himself. She doesn't even need to know the whole of his worries - she just believes in him and gives him strength.
Beautiful, simple moment - I can see why you wanted it to exist as a stand-alone, as you mention, above.
:D

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! =)
