I've been trying to put my finger on what it is that I like so very much about this fic, and I think it's this: Ten is my Doctor. I like Eleven, I do. I see him as the Doctor and I'm relieved, really, that he's not Ten in new dressing. Very not emo, sort of grandfatherly with Amy, still manic but a new flavor of manic. I think that change is good.
And yet.
And yet I don't quite believe that this new man who has waltzed away wouldn't still feel something, well, *more* for Rose. And this fic helps me connect the dots in my mind. And I can absolutely hear Eleven here:
"It's nothing." The Doctor reconsiders for a moment. "No, not nothing. Definitely something. Something from a whole lifetime ago. An echo, I guess you could say. My ship saves more than just hard data, it saves Time. She invited the TARDIS in, and it took something back."
"She was real? I mean, once, on this ship, you knew her, and it saved her."
"I've known a lot of people." The Doctor turns from Rory once again, but does not start walking away. Not before he heaves a heavy sigh (almost human, that sound of regret). "And I knew her."

Just marvelous.
