SO GOOD! SO GOOOD! CAN'T MAKE PROPER SENTENCES BECAUSE OF THE SO GOOD!

"There are no Daleks in New York. Only ghosts." this line made me go oooooh out loud.

loved it! loved it so much!

!! NEW MHALACHAI! YAY!

... but then it ended. SADFACE.

Loved the interweaving of the timelines and his perception of them. OUCH, poor Susan. :(

Susan really got a bad hand throughout the whole of Doctor Who. The 1st Doctor boots her from the TARDIS, she got sucked into the Time War like all other Time Lords, and we all know how that ended thanks to grandpa.

So yeah, I hear you.

Glad you liked the story :)

I don't know the White Collar characters, but I enjoyed the story anyway. There must be a lot of people left in the Doctor's wake with similar problems.

Ow my heart. What are all these feelings?

This was lovely and bittersweet, the steps towards healing and moving on and building new things. But o(w), how I wished Neal got the chance to talk to the Doctor!

(secret headcanon to combat the sads: in a few months or years - this is the Doctor, after all - he totally does! Neal touched the TARDIS; Sexy will get back to him soon)

[mhalachaiswords]

It's my head canon that on Eleven's 200-year goodbye tour, the TARDIS dragged him to New York and he and Neal had a pretty good run. So in actual fact, Neal *did* rob that bank in 1963 with the Doctor's help >_>

I'm glad you liked it even though it was sad :)

Oh, ow. Once I started realizing certain points, things just started hurting a lot more. Brilliant story.
