Yes, yes, yes, yes! You're posting this! *does a happy dance* I loved Atonement and I was hoping you'd post a sequel, and there it is! Yay!

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

Love your icon, btw. So friggin' Ten. :-)

The text is by Neil Gaiman; he did a parody of a Ten-speech at one point. Makes me all the more sad there won't be a Ten episode written by Gaiman.

Warnings for rampant h/c (again - God, I'm hopeless).

I think you typed "hopeless" when you clearly meant "awesome!"

Love this!

Hahahaha, thank you!

I'm a serious lurker, but I HAD to comment to tell you that I nearly peed my pants when I saw this post. I love your stories. And I will read this the absolute second I'm finished chemistry.

Hahaha, thank you! I'm thrilled to hear you were that excited about it.

I almost screamed out loud when I saw this posted! What a treat for a Monday evening!

And so far it doesn't disappoint. Absolutely wonderful stuff. Of course Jack's still very sick - just as well he didn't stay on Glaxon 3, yes? - and I love the Doctor taking care of him. So much for the two of them working on the TARDIS together, though! Poor Doctor, forced to do domestic, and discovering that even if he's getting very slightly itchy feet he can cope.

Such perfect little details, such as how Jack's room has changed, and how Nine would have behaved in a similar circumstance. Oh, and on the room, tiny typo:
complete with discrete metal loops at all four corners

Think you mean discreet. Discrete = separate, distinctive. Discreet = done with discretion.

And the subtle affection, together with the subtle indicators that Jack is doing his best to forgive:
The Doctor hesitated, then found Jack's hand where it lay, limp and damp with sweat, outside the covers. He laced their fingers together. "You'll both be right as rain again in a few ( ... )

Thank you! Yes, poor Doctor indeed. Somehow he'll get over it. And Jack is doing his best. I actually imagine that Ten could do "contrition" very well if he were so inclined (he just isn't, most of the time).

I did, in fact, mean "discreet." Thanks!

Glad the Doctor is actually trying this time.

sahiya January 27 2009, 16:22:16 UTC

Heh, me too. Thanks!
