I rather like the weird direction. *G* Really, this was very nice. No need to be nervous. I particularly loved the line:

The Doctor grinned, a smile so alive that Jack could believe in that moment that there were still years in front of them.

It's a happy death fic, especially since it's not the end for them.

Thank you so much, I was really nervous about posting, I think this is only the second time I've ever posted my writing to a community. I'm glad you liked it.

Aw, this was beautiful! I love the description of the Doctor, regardless of his regeneration, and the doomed, yet peaceful air around them.
It made me feel sorry for Jack and yet not. Very well done!

Thank you, I'm still really nervous about sharing my writing, but everyone in this community has been so welcoming and encouraging

Aw. That was so beautiful. Never have read such a good fluffy death fic. I'm scared of them but I can't stop reading them... but your story was final. But also beautiful in a very sad way. I loved your descriptions, very heartwarming.

And the end. I was happy to read that both of them won't die lonly *sigh* Well done.

I couldn't bring myself to actually having him die in the fic, and had to make it not completely sad. What can I say I'm a big romantic at heart

[petit_fox]

Oh. I was very grateful for you doing so.
Still I think it's really romantic. Beautiful :)

*sniff* Lovely... absolutely lovely. I can't think of anything more to say. I've never had the heart to kill him but you've given him a death full of dignity. And with Jack by his side.
I need comforting now!!

*huggles you even though you're a complete stranger, but all for sharing the pain*

Thank you so much, and i'm glad it was it effective (or is that affective)

The imagery in this is incredibly beautiful. It's very sad to have to say good bye to someone you love. But reassuring to know that neither of them will be alone in the end.

“Yes Jack, I’ll be there. Just as you are with me now. All those years from now, you’ll know me and you won’t be alone. I won’t know you Jack, but yet, I’ll love you.”

This is my favorite line. It was obvious from David's performance that the Doctor really was moved in that moment even if he did not completely understand why it effected him so. It really ties into your story very well. :) You did a brilliant job on this story.

this started with an idea of comfort after injury, but it was that scene in Gridlock that played in my mind, there was something in the Doctor's face, even if David didn't of the whole Face of Boe thing until much later.

Thanks for all the compliments
