AWESOME! I can hear Rose, Jack and Nine perfectly. If the old girl's that upset, it must be BAD.

Thank you! I must admit, I'd had the idea for this fic kicking around in my head for ages, but it was your HDM crossover that kicked me into gear to actually write it :)

Ooh! I love His Dark Materials. I'm very, very curious to see where this goes. :)

Wow, I hadn't realized that there was quite so much overlap between the fandoms (which is why I took extra care to make it accessible to people who haven't read HDM.) Stay tuned!

Hmm, Carol of the Bells? Sounds like it in many parts, anyway.

Very nice start! I bet this'll be cool, especially since it features HDM. ;)

Points to you! Carol of the Bells is one of the songs I used. (All of them are either folk songs or otherwise traditional. Three of them, including Carol of the Bells, are Christmas songs.) I'm glad you're as excited about this fic as I am. It seems to hold new surprises as it unfolds, even for me.

TO be honest, I hate crossovers and as a rule don't read them. But I took a look at this and your OT3 are so brilliantly written that I'm intrigued. Jack's reassurance to Rose on the way back to the TARDIS was perfect, as was the Doctor's illustration of parallel universes - and that tiny swallow when he mentioned his people.

Looking forward to more :)

I know how you feel - I usually don't like crossovers because all too often it seems like the author is just putting all their favorite characters into one big sandbox and playing with them. I like crossovers in which the melding of worlds actually casts each of them in a new, revealing light (such as how the setting of Firefly reveals new aspects of our trio in aibhinn's Ulysses) and that's what I'm going for here. Thank you for giving this story a chance. I hope it continues to delight.

I wasn't sure I'd be up for this particular crossover, but you had me at "Bad Wolf." And I love how you've captured Jack's clowning. :)

Thanks for giving this premise a chance.

Clowny, happy Jack is so rare in canon that I had to unleash his silly side here. :)
