YES!!!!! *pounces* *runs off to read fic* I'll be back ( ... )

Aww, thanks! (I will admit that when I got the notification about the award, I was certain it was going to be someone attempting to harass a chapter out of me. Instead, a very pleasant surprise.)

I might have said this before, but one of the things that has always bothered me with a lot of Smith fic (I adore exceptions to this) is that the Smith tends to be a bit of a nuisance and all you can think is that you want the Doctor back. He's not enough of a person to care about and if there's anything inside, it's always more the Doctor than anything else. Changing back is always entirely the right thing to do, which just seems wrong. Because, really, we should be torn in a situation like this. We ought to be able to love both of them. I'm very glad to have achieved that.

Thank you so much!

God, the suspense in this fic is going to kill me. Will she find the watch? Will they ever kiss? Will she be torn when it comes time to open the watch? When will the next chapter be posted??

*leaves the issue of suspense entirely unaddressed*

Thanks for reading!

*flails like a flailing thing* It's back! OMG, I missed this fic. Loved it, all of it. And 9!Smith is just heartbreaking. I love how much you convey in so few words. This is a wonderful, wonderful story and I can't wait for the next installment.

It does be back! Thanks for reading!

Forget the watch! Get on the motorcycle and GO!!! AAHHH!

BTW...the ebb and flow of time as a traffic metaphor....was a brilliant piece of writing!

Thank you!

Forget the watch! Get on the motorcycle and GO!!! AAHHH!

His thoughts exactly! (Except without the yell at the end.)

As for the traffic metaphor: when I thought of it, I tweaked out. Fully tweaked. Then I bingewrote for three or so hours.
