This new-new-new Doctor who looks at her like she’s the only thing he’s got left in the universe.

So many gorgeous lines in this. I am so glad that you wrote about these parallel times. I can only imagine what it might've been like for her to have to go through that experience twice.

And I am so glad that you brought Donna up and what was about to happen.

Loves this!

I watched the two scenes back to back for research purposes.... god Billie Piper is a brilliant actress. Every single word in here stems directly from what she poured into the character.

Oh, this is excellent! The conversation Ten II and Rose have is so characteristic of them, it's absolutely perfect. Wonderful! :)

*sobs* It was so lovely! I love that you mentioned Donna too. Just beautiful.

“I’ve changed,” she blurts, helpless to stop herself, because the last time this Doctor saw her, she was running at him with a gun strapped over her shoulder. She doesn’t say: he was wrong. I can’t make you better. I can’t fix you.

“Not as much as I have, I bet,” he says lightly, and his smile feels like sanctuary. (And oh, how she’s sinned.)

godDAMN that was superb :):)
