Wow. Just wow. This was stunning. I highly recommend this story. This paragraph killed me though: "The Universe needs a Doctor. There are gardens to be tended and roses to be grown. A Captain must perform his duties. There are storms and wolves on the horizon." Anyway, beautifully written, pure poetry. Keep writing!

this story is so magical and mystical. it highlights the sober wonder of them both. it makes me very happy!

I'm not convinced by the tree, but I can't help wondering if Aslan took a peek back/forwards to Day of the Doctor.

Cool!

This is inspirational. I applaud you.

I love the riddle about Jack and Rose

Soooo beautiful.. :))

Oh my GOD. That was beautiful. I was nearly crying. It was gorgeously C S Lewis-y and your Nine is perfect.

I LOVE IT!

*heard this read in a male, British-accented voice*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
*pleasure*
This... . The mix of respect/casual treatment from 9 to Aslan, the TARDIS as Gallifrey's tree...
Oh my gosh. It's ANOTHER wardrobe made from magical wood in the aftermath of a storm. :p

Oh, this is quite lovely. I love it...so much. I don't remember if I commented or merely thought of it, but I do love this lil story. And of course Aslan would give a little hint about roses, a Captain, storm, and a wolf...

Thank you for posting! C:

Good job! The writing here is absolutely amazing! Two tentacles up and a samich for you my friend.

That was a beautiful description of the Wood Between the Worlds. Somewhere CS Lewis is trying to swallow the lump in his throat.

I loved Aslan's allusion to Rose.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I particularly love the TARDIS growing out of the tree.

I have to say that this story really plucked at my heart strings. What a great idea to cross over the 9th Doctor and the Wood between the worlds. It's perfect. His meeting with Aslan almost made me cry. The way you depicted Aslan was almost the exact way he was like in the books. Majestic, godly.

I do, however, offer one piece of advice. Though I know that this was written some time ago, and I believe your writing has most likely improved, I would suggest to avoid using passive tense. More precisely, using "is," "are," or "am" before a verb. It causes confusion surrounding the subject and sounds like the subject is not really doing the action. Of course, sometimes it is unavoidable, but in most cases, passive tense can be changed.

For example: "The Lion is regarding..." could be changed to "the Lion regards..."

That makes takes the phrase out of passive voice and gives more clarity.

Thanks for writing this piece, it was very inspiring.
