Something about this just killed me... I think it's the earnesty of his feelings, and how there's no concrete ending. It's very true-- you don't stop missing people you love, no matter how long they've been gone. This is beautiful. Thank you!

Oh I absolutely love this. It's so short, and you manage to fit so much emotion into the small space.

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey whatsit indeed. As far as I can remember, and I could be wrong since my mind is more in Hellenistic mystery religions and post-colonial theory at the moment and this fic was a mental burp, Rose told the Doctor she was nineteen in the first or second ep. I believe that "Father's Day" took place in November of 1987, which means that Rose was seventeen when she met the Doctor. Even though they came back a year later in 2006, by her measurement it was only a few days later, so she was still physically seventeen. Unless the timeline places "Rose" in 2004 and her "World War Three" return in 2005, in which case she'd be sixteen. (Feeling Buffy vibes here.) So I'm not sure about the specifics, but I am pretty sure she was NOT nineteen in "Rose", and I don't know how the laws go in the UK, but that would be she wasn't legally an adult by US laws, which is a whole 'nother can of worms. (And adds to my lingering feeling there's some dark undercurrent to DW that I haven't figured out yet ( ... )

It IS so complicated. It's such crack. :P

Oh, I totally didn't interpret your comment as picking, I just tend to ramble. I sometimes wonder if there's nothing for my future but to become a professor or something just because I cannot shut up with the analysis. Like, ever. And DW is ripe for it. But I'm glad you thought it was a lovely fic. *g*

*sigh*...this was terribly sad and lovely. I loved it a lot. Man, now I'm all depressed.

Aww! Sorry I made you all depressed! But I'm glad you loved it. :D

That darn wibbley wobbley timey wimey stuff will get you every time, huh? ;) I personally love it when a fic writer can take a possible oopsy ;) from a show and make it work so beautifully like that! Really nicely done. :D

I particularly adored how the TARDIS doesn't let her just "disappear," but keeps her bedroom and clothes and even her voice echoing along with them. *sniff* Aw, that's just GOT to be canon, I don't care if we haven't seen it on the show (yet). ;) Lovely job! ♥!
