This is awesomely bittersweet!

He didn't put the brakes on! Ah! So sad! Tears in my eyes!

My god this was painful. Love your style of writing!

Oh my heart. Madis you're going to ruin me -rolls into a ball and weeps-. This could have happened though, definitely. It felt like he always knew he'd fall in love with her.

Very moving.

Was Anita their daughter?

This is beautiful. Purely and simply beautiful.

Loved it! good idea, originally handled :)

This was wonderful, I loved it. However, there was one thing that didn't "fit" The Doctor isn't supposed to play around with his own time line, he's not supposed to be allowed to cross paths with his past or future selves or be in a situation where they can see each other or interact.

Wow. Sad and powerful and poignant and I'm going to cry now. I hope somehow he'd come to say goodbye, come to take her back. If she can't come back from the Library, I'd like to hope he goes to her besides the Towers.

You did an amazing job in how you use words.

The curls of her hair spill over his arms as secrets often do.

That is just brilliant as is the whole reverse coronation metaphor.

There's so much I want to fan about in this story, but an earlier reviewer has already covered it for me XD

Great story, either way :)

wowowoowowowowow. That was.. That was... I have to draw that. I have to draw that. That was so gorgeous. I can't talk. This beautiful story has jammed my ability to talk.

Oh... Poor Doctor. Doctors... I liked the throne/crown comparisons. The writing style flowed very nicely as well.

Oh my word...what a lovely, sad answer for a question that I never thought to ask.

I like the way you left the details open-ended, and the little hints as to Anita's identity. :)

Oooh. I like it, even though I'm not sure why.

Wonderful! I love that he knows who it is (both the man and Anita), even though he doesn't make contact. So poignant. Well done.
