Beautiful. I love the structuring, it's very poetic and yet strait-forwards at the same time.

I love you.

Rule one.

Oh. Just... oh.

[trialia]

Heh, thank you. I'm seeing several people thinking I meant that the Doctor lied when he said he loved her, which I admit it can be interpreted as such if you're not following the order of the italicised words too closely, but is not what I meant. *g* I'm glad you enjoyed the fic so much though.

"My love...
He marries her.
I love you.
She kills him.
I love you.
Rule one."

That. That just. That is just SO THEM! In every way that they are great and terrible and beautiful and ugly and separate and the same and together and apart and just. Just. So that. So this.

Thank you! ♥ That's a major compliment coming from you. *grins* Love the icon, too. She's beautiful when she cries, it's so unfair. *g*

Ouch. Loved the 'rule one' at the end.

[trialia]

Well. How else would he get her to kill him, but by lying that he has a way out of it? I doubt she'd do it if she didn't believe him. *sighs* Thanks, hon. Glad you like.

Only just commenting on this as i was writing for this prompt as well, so haven't read it until now. Heartbreaking and lovely. I love the way you've structured it. So sad :(
