Stories about Rose immediately post-DD are always so difficult to read. This one is very well done. I love the gaps in her memory, and then the moment at the end where her Rose-ish determination shines through.

Thank you. I know - poor Rose. Even though I imagine her coping better than the Doctor, she's really gotten the short(er) end of the stick in a way.

THIS! This is what I love about Rose. The Doctor mopes about, being useless but Rose gets up and puts on her determined face and gets shit done. I love her heartbreak and her resolve. You've captured her very well here. I can't wait for more.

Thank you! This is what I love about Rose, too.

The are Brilliant!!!
I STILL after all these years have difficulty reading about Doomsday. Maybe I should look into getting some kind of therapy? hmmm

Fantasticly written and I can't wait for more.

I STILL after all these years have difficulty reading about Doomsday.

Hah! Apparently I can write about it, but I still can't watch it. When I was fact-checking for this fic, I had to use transcripts instead of actually re-watching the episode. Group therapy? :)

Oh, Rose. Oh, my precious girl.

This is so heart-breakingly accurate. I can't even.

Thank you! Poor Rose.

Great chapter! As I lie in my sickbed, mopping my own fevered brow, this fic made me happy. Maybe because I can feel the hope and see Rose and Mickey and these huge grins, with something to look forward to.
thanks!
