I...yeah, ok. You are brilliant. Because this whole time, I've been thinking, "oh, this is lovely, but it's a bit more sentimental than I think I can wholly approve for any relationship between the Doctor and...anyone." And then...that happened. And it's perfect. Crushing, but perfect.
“God, you’re turned on. Is this your idea of a threesome or something?”
I can't bear to live anymore! Throw me to the pugs!
Seriously, this was amazing, funny and heartbreaking and beautifully characterized, and after all that you made it fit into canon, which is even more brilliant.
Also, in a host of other hilarious lines:
“Honestly? It looks like Snuffleupagus got his nose wrapped around your throat.”
I just love this story. The truth is, as sad as I am about the ending, I have to admit that it feels right. Also, I'm a sucker for stories that completely carry you away, make you happy, and then pull the rug out from under.
I would love to see a sequel where they DO meet again, the Doctor with full knowledge of what happened, Martha with only a vague sense. I'd like to think the love would still be there, even though the circumstances would necessarily be different.
I do feel a bit guilty about the sucker-punch, but OTOH, I really felt like that was how it would have to go. I'm glad you agree, and that you enjoyed it. :)
I have thought of a sequel, but I don't know -- free time is not plentiful these days. How strong is fic farr?

Absolutely fantastic. Excellent plotting; spot on characterisation and heartbreakingly perfect at the end.
I'm saving this one to treasure.
