lastincurableromantic chapter 12 . 11/6/2012 I really enjoyed this. I love the part human Doctor and Rose pairing, and thought it was fun seeing them interact with River, Amy and Rory. |
Alithe Cambre chapter 12 . 10/23/2012 I love it! Brilliantly woven into the ball of wibbly wobbly time that moffat already wrote :) |
edwardfiend chapter 12 . 10/19/2011 This was so good! I was hooked right from the beginning. I've been looking for a really good fic involving Amy, Rose and ten and I was thrilled when I found this, after reading your veronica mars fic Fairy tales and seeing your note that said you had some DW fics up as well. :) Anyway, great fic, really engaging. Loved it! |
The Doctor Rose chapter 8 . 10/3/2011 o boy |
Does Not Exist Any Longer chapter 12 . 9/18/2011 Thank you for this wonderful story! I just stumbled upon it, and read through the entire thing in one sitting (annoying my impatient boyfriend whose computer I've "borrowed" in the process). I've always loved the idea of Rose and the Doctor living happily in their parallel universe, and it's refreshing to read a story where you accept that the Doctor is the Doctor in any universe, and Rose is not settling for a man that is not "her" Time Lord. On that note I'm also in love with your portrayal of River. She's such a fantastic character in the show, but for the longest time I tried to make myself hate her... I think some part of me believed that accepting a world with River and the Doctor made Rose's relationship less perfect. I know this website is devoted to fiction, but your description of River's feelings for the Doctor fit so perfectly with the show, that they helped me come to terms with loving Melody Pond whilst simultaneously believing in true love between the Rose Tyler Defender of the Earth and our resident Madman with a Box. Thank you so much for sharing this. |
purplestarkatz chapter 12 . 9/15/2011 This was just... I loved this story. I really feel like you honestly and truly captured the characters personalities brilliantly. I'm going to have to check out your other stories. By the way, I have to say, 2 months for a 12 chapter story? That's not all that long. That works out to something like that chapter every four or five days. Only bit of criticism I have is that you might want to go back and check your pronouns in the story. I noticed a few places (which i've now forgot which chapters.. sorry about that.) where it should have been 'his hand' and said 'her hand' or something like that. |
Queen of Night chapter 12 . 8/28/2011 Yay, that was fantastic! |
ViolinSonata chapter 12 . 8/26/2011 Hmm, a fanfic about what could happen after "A Good Man Goes to War" that somehow involves Rose Tyler and the 10th Doctor duplicate? What could possibly go wrong? The fact that Rose and the 10th comes along with the usual gang and that it's set right after the mid-season finale (which I just watched) is the sole reason that perked my interest in this fic. I miss Rose dearly, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, and if we had our way, Rose would appear somehow but alas that is not meant to be. However, you did a fantastic job in tying them into the story because not many people have Rose and the 10th along with Amy and Rory in a way that could happen. You've managed to include everone in there, even Captain Jack Harkness! The dialouge was brilliant, the story was believeable, and everyone was definetly in character. At times though, Amy seemed a bit mean but I guess she could get tired out from the day's events. From the 10th Doctor's energetic "Allons-y!" to the nice, subtle ending at the end, I loved everything in this fic. You did a brilliant job, and helped staved off some of my starvation for the new episode coming up! (: |
WishfulThinkin21 chapter 12 . 8/26/2011 OK, so... first of all, I'm really sorry. I read this from my phone today and I'm on my computer planning on writing a review as long as possible. God, I didn't even realize I read this before until I saw the Chap. 3 shout out, thank you by the way :D What I really liked about your story, was the fact that hell yes, we want them back and hell yes, you gave them back to us. Rose and TenII were awesome as always. All though it is my belief that like Martha all those years at a military like Torchwood hardened Rose. But that is just my way of seeing Turn Left. About TenII it was hard to understand who was who in the Chapters that had both of them but that is probably because I'm not a native speaker. About Amy, she kind of grew on me after A Good Man Goes To War, although I'm pretty sure I don't like the Amy in the teasers. I hated the way Amy described Rose but her distress was understandable, she had just lost a baby. The thought of Rose and Amy being friends is highly possible. The common thought is yes, Rose and Donna would rock together but I think Amy or Martha and of course River, would understand Rose better because they know what it is like to depend on someone while your heart gets torn apart. Rory... oh Rory :P I loved the Jack, backing of part. But perhaps, he could have been a little more Roman, little more father. Steven likes us to forget but the man spent 2000 years, which makes him older than the Doctor. They make him so old and so wise but when it comes to Rory or even Jack it so easy to make them look like foolish school boys. Jack was a joy as always but seeing that the Jack you had here as the one after CoE, you should have watched it first. The death of Steven Carter ( and of course Ianto) kept me crying for days. About Ianto there is a radio play, The House of Dead you should listen it, and listen it fast it will change your opinion faster that you can imagine, because Miracle Day? That is not our Jack. River was awesome as always but I would have loved to see some Father/Daughter/Mother interaction. And we assume that it was River who killed the Doctor, the girl in the suit who had Amy's photo in her room? But that wouldn't work for a River line of course. Her talk with Rose was lovely, and yes 9 Rose Tyler is living a fantastic life. I didn't really like the way you ended things. But Amy remembers, and Rose knew once :P River is amazing and Rory and Jack... well they have enough in their heads :D Great story overall, the rescue the everything. For one moment I thought he was going to say ''I'm the Doctor kill me' but he had Rose, and Rose is now, his everything and IT İS SO SWEET! |
roflshvuakomail chapter 12 . 8/26/2011 BRILLIANT! FANTASTIC! MOLTO BENE! BOW TIES ARE COOL! - erm sorry, didnt have one for the eleventh doctor in there (: i loved it, brilliant ending, so looking forward to the new series though! unfortunately i live in new zealand so i wont be seeing the new series for a few months yet :/ still cant wait though! :D thanks for this lovely story x |
BlueNeutrino chapter 12 . 8/26/2011 I wasn't expecting there to be any more on this, but I'm so glad there was. That had the perfect combination of brilliant writing and lots of emotion. It was wonderful. Well done on that chapter and this story as a whole. It's definitely been one of the best Doctor Who fanfics I've ever read. Please keep writing. |
QuicksilverWitch chapter 12 . 8/25/2011 BRILLIANT ending; I think you've satisfied all Doctor/Rose fans as well as those who adore 11, Amy, Rory, and River. This ending was phenomenal in and of itself; I think that is the best explanation for why the Doctor left Rose with 10.5 that I have ever seen. Not even Davies or Moffat gave fans that. Because, as we all know, *some things need saying*. Thank you for that alone and keep up the ab fab work! :D |
Tuppence chapter 11 . 8/10/2011 Loved it. To use the Doctor's words, it was BRILLIANT. ~ Tuppence ~ |
TheGirlWithTheOnyxRose chapter 11 . 8/9/2011 Nooo they can't forget! I think Amy will remember. If your a time traveller, you can remember historyas it oce was, that has been said on many accounts (year that never was, the big bang 2)! |
BlueNeutrino chapter 11 . 8/9/2011 That was a wonderful ending! Everything was rounded off really well and I loved the part between Rose and River at the end. It was emotional without overdoing it. This has been a great story and I've really enjoyed reading it. You have a great writing style and I love your characterisations and insight into the way the characters are feeling. I know this story doesn't really lend itself to a sequel, but I'll definitely be on the look out for more DW stuff from you in future :) |
