very enjoyable.

I particularly liked Susan.
disclaimer: i only know Susan from the recent films & from bits and pieces mentioned in conversation.
she keeps getting left behind...but she keeps herself afloat and has confidence and a determination. (and was that a hint about finding a way to return to Narnia?)

a nice way to marry (divine) magic with the travel methods of the Whoverse.

bravo!

Thank you so much! I love to think that even after Narnia is finished for Susan, she still has the strength to go on and do awesome things - and of course, being a companion (or even a post-companion) helps her do just that!

This was so great! First off, I really appreciate that you just started it post Susan as companion to explain why she's in our time period. Like, I didn't need the backstory of what she and the Doctoer were doing; the idea was easy enough to roll with so we could get to some new stuff. Such as Donna and Susan as roommies! Yay! Loved Donna being so nosy. And Susan and Jack as old flames. Amazing and sexy.

I loved how you wrote Susan, so sweet and gracious, but also tough as nails and driven. That felt so true to her. Her whole story was so dark and sad, how there's no one left for her to get back to. I loved her determination to help Donna. And WILF! This was fabulous all around.

Thanks! Having written companion!Susan before, I wanted to try something new and I'm glad that it worked to put her after the TARDIS travels, no-backstory-necessary. The biggest driving factor was def the idea of Donna and Susan as roommates because there is something inherently awesome about the idea. Susan/Jack, otoh, was completely out of nowhere (though I had such fun with it, too). Wilf was also pretty unexpected but I honestly can't write Donna-at-home without getting Wilf involved.

You had me as soon as Jack greets Susan with a classic Jack-ism. :D

This is amazing. So understated but so emotional. The Susan and Donna feels get me right in the gut.

I love it all. Fantastic job!

Ha, to be fair, I wasn't even planning on adding any Jack/Susan until I had "Long time no" staring up at me from the screen and the inexplicable desire to add "sex" to the end of the phrase!

So glad you enjoyed this, and thanks for reviewing!

Oh, I really like this. Donna and Susan play off each other well here - Donna is so boisterous (and so fixated on the idea that Susan has been hiding a boyfriend from her, oh Donna) while Susan is cool and collected as ever. They're both so much more resilient than anyone expects (the way everyone acts like Donna's a ticking time bomb, but when her memories start to resurface she tells them to pipe down and away they go, even if it is a bit mad) and so similar in the way that they keep carrying on in the wake of their loss

[wingedflight21]

Aw, thanks so much!

It's funny, cause I started this with the mere thought that it would be such fun to have Susan and Donna be roommates and only as I got into the story did I realize how very alike the two of them are, regarding both memories (and the struggle to retain them) and how it feels to be denied the world they are meant for.

And I'm so glad you liked my first companion!Susan story, too! I keep thinking that I'm done with that verse and then something comes along to pull me back in and write another story - and given the way this one ends, I wouldn't be surprised if, eventually, another one turns up as well! Ha.
