But still, yes. I think one of the reasons Bad Wolf Bay hurt Rose so much is that she knew when the Doctor said "impossible", it meant he wouldn't even try anymore. Of course she would still be determined to get back to him, but it would hurt, that he would not longer be willing to make that effort. Even now when Rose knows how much she means to him, enough that he'd choose her over the whole universe, I think that would still hurt. And not just for her own sake, but for his, that he wasn't willing to fight for his own happiness.
Exactly. Even with what she's learned since about exactly how much it hurt him, he wasn't going to do anything about it.
YES. Rose and the Doctor definitely love each other and are better together than apart, but they still need to have friends, a support system, outside of each other. Jack and Martha, Sarah Jane if they ever start letting her in the loop, and now Donna--they're so good for them. And especially now that Rose no longer has Jackie, I think it'll do her good to have an older female friend to talk to.
Yes. Not having Jackie in Rose's life was something that I've been torn about at times (also, not having Mickey was hard). Having that support system really is key, so I really enjoyed having Sarah Jane and Jack around in the last fic. I don't have to worry about arranging schedules or budgeting for actors, which is one of the benefits written fiction has over audiovisual.
First, I love them being so free with each other. It happies me very much. :D But also, heh, I bet the Doctor is happy to finally have this to respond with when Rose embarks on one of her ego-puncturing trips. :p Of course the ego-puncturing is good for him, but I imagine he's very pleased with himself. *g*
Yes. Getting to write the two of them kissing and being casually romantic is a lot of fun.
And finally, yay Carrionites! The Shakespeare Code is one of my favorite episodes, and I'd really rather like to see another confrontation between Lilith and the Doctor.
They have a lot that they could talk about, especially with Lilith seeing Rose's name in the Doctor's head in TSC.
I'm really looking forward to the next part of this--and the Doctor or Rose's POV? I love Donna, and I love reading things from her perspective, but I'd really like to see the Doctor's and Rose's takes on recent events soon too. :)
