Powered through this despite it being gone midnight because I couldn’t help myself. Brilliant as per!

I am just reading your stories in 2019. And I have to say even if it is a little late, I agree with what you said about the 50th anniversary special. I didn't like how he basically put a bow on the time war. 9's pain was genuine and it seems wrong to basically make him live with guilt and not be guilty. And don't get me started on 10. I did like the bad wolf aspect because I am a big fan of Billie Piper. Story note, love it.

I'm rather sad you've disappeared. Your Marion the Librarian bit was rather hilarious... I had to run off and listen to that song afterwards.

I was wondering, if you plan having it so that the 50th never happened in this story line, are you going to still have the twelfth doctor in the story or are you going to end the series with the death of the eleventh doctor. I'm planing on writing a doctor who story with an oc and I don't plan on having the 50th happen, because while seeing Tennant and Smith together in the same movie/episode, I didn't like it and I'm having trouble figuring out how I would go about the twelfth doctor happening if I decided to keeping going after the Time of The Doctor.

The Christmas special sucked... but, since this is three years after you posted this, they had a reason for making it like that

Yup... This is gonna be a toughie. Can't see the Doctor ever being okay with Rose being in danger again, but that's their life... Eep!

"So... you travel a lot?" Astrid asked as the Doctor wound an arm around Rose's waist, his thumb running over her bottom ribs."

It's lines like this right here that make your writing such a joy to read. Not just the huge emotional moments but the small intimate gestures that you take the time to show, slipped in unassumingly to make the whole thing come alive.

And here we are again!

This is one of my favourite bits of Whoniverse ever, and I adore the addition of Rose. I also like that it's a bit harder for the Doctor to be so cavalier about the Master after everything that's happened... it's those bits of continuity that I love about your writing.

Please don't kill Astrid.

Really good.

Well you just managed to fit Rose into these scenarios beautifully. And I love that Astrid survived. But the PTSD is very real for both of them. Hopefully time and each other will help them find peace again. Great work!

I loved them bumping into 5, absolutely brilliant. I guess I understand why you put this here, to show their recovering and whatnot, guess I'm just confused as to why it's not just put in with the next bit. Oh well, no need to dwell. This should was wonderful, time for the next chapter

Okay. So on a almost entirely unrelated note, I am listening to this song Queen of Hearts by We the Kings. And I just felt like some of the lyrics, particularly the chorus, matched this series perfectly.
And this fic, along with the others in the series, are absolutely AMAZING. I have binge read this far in only two days. Im in love.

You just summarized EVERYTHING I hated about the special. Christmas was just as bad. Ugh. In my head, the whole 50th was a bad dream.
