And he took it, because she was Rose Tyler and he was the Doctor and some hands were made for each other.

MARRY ME.

Or are we already married? Have I proposed before? Am I putting myself in the dog house by not remembering these things? Okay. I got this.

LET'S RENEW OUR VOWS.

[zombres]

YES, LET'S.

Did I do a good job, bebe? Because I was so worried that I didn't capture them quite right in this. *frets*

[mylittlepwny]

BEACH OR MEADOW?

Oh, darling. You got them so right; in love even in her past and his future, connected on a soul deep level that sits just beneath the skin all the time, no matter where they are or who they're with that comes to the surface when where they are and who they're with is in the same place, with each other, and really, there's nothing more that could be asked for.

I HOPE YOU WRITE THEM MORE OFTEN. Them being this Doctor and Rose but also all Doctor's and Rose's, as WE HAVE MISSED YOU HERE MOST PROFOUNDLY.

[zombres]

MEADOW, DEFINITELY. BEACHES MAKE ME WEEPY.

I must admit, I'm a tad bit tempted to do a couple more John!Eleven/Rose fics -- maybe they keep happening to bump into each other in 2004 and early 2005, have a few fleeting moments of romance before she starts dating Mickey in earnest...

I SHALL TRY TO WRITE MORE OFTEN, DARLING, FOR I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL QUITE SINCERELY, AS WELL.

Ooooo wow. This was just gorgeous.

“That’s why I’m such a live-in-the-moment kind of guy, Rose,” he said softly, his eyes tracing the lines of her face. He thought he had memorized every one of them, but he didn’t remember that particular laugh line, that precise freckle beside her nose. “Anything can be lost in the blink of an eye. You’ve got to enjoy it, love it, hold it as tightly as you can while you’ve still got it. Before you lose it.”

Her heart constricted in her chest. Whatever had happened to this poor, funny-looking man must have been truly horrible. He must have lost someone incredibly important to him; she knew she couldn’t fully understand that kind of pain. Yes, she missed her father, but then she had never known him, either. Whoever John had lost, it had to have been recent for his pain to be so raw and powerful.

Suddenly, Rose didn’t care about her row with Sherine, or how Jimmy Stone had cheated on her, or that this was a complete stranger. She only knew that she had to do somethingThis bit brought me to tears...

THANK YOUUUU for these lovely words. I'm so relieved that someone liked it; I was a bit worried it wasn't up to snuff. ♥

Oh, this was possibly the most excellent story EVER. I was worried when I read it was Eleven, but you know? You did it AMAZINGLY. And it's still the Doctor, and she's still Rose. That's all that matters.

[zombres]

For me, Rose/Doctor are canon IN ALL REGENERATIONS. Their love transcends everything, ohhhhh. Glad you enjoyed this, and thanks so much for the lovely words. ♥

I don't often read Eleven, but benefit of the doubt and all that I gave it a go. I'm so glad I did as it's a lovely story.

[zombres]

Aw, thanks! I'm glad it left you satisfied that you'd taken the risk. :D

[dqbunny]

Your version of Amy is so likable. I wish I could really like her like that.

This is a fantastic story. Oh, my little core love of Eleven/Rose is growing by the day thanks to gems like this. <3

[zombres]

Thanks so much for the sweet words; glad you enjoyed it. :D
