Characters: Jack, Nine, Rose

Notes: Unsurprisingly, this came to me in the dead of the night... I usually don't write from Rose's POV, so I hope

Loved this. Very emotional. Rose's POV totally works.

"But you can fix it." She repeats, too unsure to make it a question.
Great line.

One nitpick:
It hits her then that the man laying in front of her -> Should be "lying."

So... any plans to write more OT3? Because you do it so well... :)

(nitpick fixed - thanks!)

Thanks for commenting!

Oh, this is gorgeous! You do hurt/comfort so well.

And how typical of Jack is it that a kiss is his wake-up trigger? I suspect that if the Doctor and Rose knew him better they'd have guessed that might be it *g*

I love the way you show the Doctor's behaviour, too: worry disguised as anger, but as filtered through Rose's POV we know she understands what he's really feeling.

What he doesn't say, but what's clear from the detached tone he's talking in, is that this is their fault. They took too long.

And I bet the Doctor's blaming himself for that the whole way through.

Lovely work! And why isn't it already on betterwiththree?

Gorgeous. I'm generally not a great lover of fic with Rose in it - but I am when Nine and Jack are there too! Part of the reason this works so well is because it's from Rose's POV.

The other thing I like is the sense of foreshadowing I get from Jack having to be woken up with a kiss. It *so* works...

Thanks !
