*sob, searches for tissues, blows her nose a few times and returns* That was gorgeous. Heart-wrenchingly gorgeous.
Even though I'm repeating Wendy (darn her for hitting 'post' before me ;)), I've got to quote this back to you:
"One of these days," said the Doctor, "I will come back and you will be gone." His face fell and he looked away. "If I stay away, you're still alive."
"Ah," said Jacob, and nodded to himself. "A great mystery solved. This is why you don't go back for your companions, isn't it? If you don't look back, don't visit, they are hale and hearty and in limbo, and eternally young.
Yes. Exactly. No truer words have ever been said about the Doctor. He doesn't want to look back.
Fix this soon, please. I really look forward to your next offering. Thank you so much for taking me on such a roller coaster ride of emotions. I adored every word.
