Ohhh....

Ohhh, this is marvelous. Just brilliant! Of course he would watch over a star. Of course he would understand that even the most powerful being can have the greatest of weakness. Can be all alone in it's hurt.

This fic was amazing. Such beauty and strength within the words. Thank you for this...

*HUGS*

Thanks! I love Eleven in this attitude, when he's telling a story, being philosophical, or trying to teach something. I love his phrasings and words and movements, and Matt Smith plays the "old wise man in the young man's body" so well.

Think all of this is the reason why I love the Eleventh so well. Smith definitely gave us a memorable Doctor with many complex sides to him. Depending on who you ask, he's either dark or puppyish, silly or serious. *Nods* This was a marvelous take on one of his more endearing sides...

Oh, this is just SO beautiful! For all his silly goofiness, Eleven really is an ancient soul in a boy's body (and Matt portrays that perfectly). I love that about him, and I love stories that show his depth under the child-like attitude he so often shows.

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I was striving for.

Oh my god this is stunning. I just don't have words for this-the writing was simply stellar, and the emotions so intense, so raw. The description at the beginning was just gorgeous. Your Amy was spot-on, with the restlessness, I loved her joking-I could really hear it in her voice. Loved the Doctor's smile that didn't reach his eyes. And his lines and mannerisms, getting more and more intense, the words just pouring out of him-that was just breath-taking… The symbolism was so meaningful, and it's like the metaphor is so layered, the sun and the planets like the Doctor and his companions, yet the Doctor also knew that greed, also stole and brought destruction in his wake (or so he thought at least)-and there was all the history with actual stars too, 42 and Omega. It's amazing, it's fascinating, it's intense, it's brilliant, can I marry that fic? How do you perfect? It's just… an incredible piece of writing. I'm in awe.

Wow, thank you! It's very gratifying that this story spoke to you so well! I did try very hard on the descriptions for this one, as I wanted very much for the Doctor's movements and expressions to tell his story as much as his words did. I'm not really sure where the rest came from. The story started with a prompt ("Sun") and all I could think about was "42", and it just went from there.

Yeah, and the focus on that gave a really wonderful effect! It was brilliant ♥
