Whoa. This chapter was so full of tension! Great job of keeping the suspense going throughout the entire thing, and building throughout this episode.

When the rift thing opened up in the flat and sucked Doyle in, I was like NOOOOO when the Doctor didn't see Rose, but then he did, so all was well. And the part after that when they just hug for a bit? Awwww. You write their body language so well. It's so true to the characters and how Billie and David portrayed them.

I thought you did a wonderful job of mentioning the Timelord!Doctor without really mentioning him. Perfect, and I think the way that it would be this far into the Doctor and Rose's life together.

CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT INSTALLMENT. HEAR THAT, shinyopals???

Very interesting ending with the rifts opening up and using the cannon to try and close them on their end.

Can't wait for the finale fic!

A) A capital ending to a really stunning and well-thought-out tale. I shall miss Holmes.

The show is about to start??? what show? Oh my god, is there a doctor Who show in the alternate universe? maybe Holmes shared with his new "friend", his new Watson, the adventures he had had with a mysterious Doctor and his wife Rose, traveling in time and space and coming from another dimension and now it's been made into a tv series??? ha, ha, ha, that would be funny.

Apart from that, where did that key come from, the one that Doyle found? Is it like a Tardis Key, and why did it allow to travel between universes?
