lovely xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Very well written. Keep smiling.:-)

This is a gorgeous story, both in concept and style. I've been reading your works and have been just utterly floored by your insight and talent. You write the Tenth Doctor and Donna amazingly well - your dialogue, characterizations, and your descriptions of their expressions and gestures are spot-on. They make me feel like I'm watching at actual episode of the show, and I can picture Mr. Tennant and Ms. Tate doing everything you describe.

I think the thing that really amazes me about this piece is how you develop Half-Donna's relationship with the Doctor, and then Returned-Donna's relationship with him, while keeping them both in character. I've read a number of the-Doctor-helps-Donna-return stories, and they all have have the Doctor wield some technobabble to fix her and they either have a joyous reunion or they have some angsty argument, and then they continue traveling together. In yours, the Doctor is still quite unable to be completely truthful to Donna, talking in hints and circles, and Donna, for her part, once she figures out what's going on, recognizes what he's done and is angry and indignant. And that's what Donna is: she's brilliant because she sees clearly and stands up for what she knows is right, and you've captured that so well.

I do have to admit that you've cheered me up by including something that I've always thought about the Doctor, that Donna helped him move on from Rose (I believe that started from the time that they were sitting on the rooftop looking out over London, but suspended when Donna left and Martha came aboard), and that he'd realized that he was no longer in love with her (if he actually had been at all, rather than just crushing) at Bad Wolf Bay (and that the Metacrisis Doctor realized it as well, and basically settled for second best).

I have been really enjoying your stories (and been quite a bit jealous of your talent), and look forward to more!

Brilliant-I loved it! It was a very well written and creative "JE fix-it". I've read stories involving the chameleon arch to fix Donna before, but you executed it much more skillfully, making it a very original take on the idea. And I always love the way you write the Doctor and Donna (and Wilf, in this case)-you really seem to have a good grasp on the characters and their body language, speech patterns, etc. Seriously, well done! Molto bene ;)
