I'm so excited to see you continuing this series, I logged into LJ for the first time in two years just to comment. Your writing is some of the best fanfiction I've come across (also one of the many fans of the zeppelin's verse). I really like how you pick up on lines in the series I didn't even remember hearing the first several times I watched the episodes. Brilliant!
On the fic itself - it's good to see things getting a little better between the Doctor and Rose at this point in the series. I think otherwise the cybermen and the upcoming loss of Alt! Jackie Tyler will break Rose completely. Looking forward to seeing how you handle that... I have confidence that I will require a tissue box, as well I should, but hopefully will not want to join in the "punch the Doctor club" on top of it. (Between Mickey and Jackie, it's starting to look like a "whack-a-git" game may be in the making. Speaking of, I couldn't help but laugh hard at the " in a tone of voice that makes him drop one hand to cover his genitals as if she could reach through the space waves and knee him in the groin." line - two of my closest friends have that exact same tone which causes the exact same reaction, are fond of backing it up with castration jokes, and it has been applied on my own behalf a couple of times. It is not a power to be trifled with, and Jackie having it is hilariously appropriate to her personality.)
Seriously, though, I could hug you for working on this again. Since I cannot, and I also don't know that you're a huggy-person, I will simply grin widely
