Did you plan the title early on with the knowledge that it would all be Brem’s journal? Was Brem fleshed out from the beginning, or did it all just sort of occur to you mid-writing? Because it’s just perfect, and I love Brem’s journaling, and I love how you made it pertain to the title. It just works SO well.
There is just something about the nuzzling of one’s neck that I find hugely loving and romantic. I love how Rose greets the Doctor, and I love that he isn’t just appeasing her - he’s genuinely missed her just as much, if not more.
I ADORE Brem looking “underwhelmed” that he can talk. Hysterical, and yet - so Brem. And his “looking long-suffering” as he said the simple words at 4 months old. I couldn’t love it more.
I love how Brem glares at the Doctor at 4 months old when the Doctor keeps insisting that Brem saying words is less than impressive. That he should be doing complex sentences. I wonder if Brem honestly CAN at this point, he just doesn’t see the point.
Jackie’s line of “well at least we were here,” and the Doctor saying, “Right.” and walking into the TARDIS is so sad. Sometimes, Jackie can say just the wrong thing. Poor Doctor. And yet, I can still sympathize with Jackie defending her daughter. But Jackie’s got it wrong and I love that Rose defends him once again.
It does make me wonder at that exact moment what the Doctor was thinking. Was he annoyed at Jackie for not knowing him better, or thinking bitterly about the fact that he had to go away and really didn’t want to, but did what needed to be done... But then, as soon as Rose is inside the TARDIS, he’s moved on. No time for being depressed. He’s missed her anyway. *wink*
It’s the little things that you add to the sex scenes, and post, that make them so endearing. I love Rose pressing her nose against him post-sex. It’s wonderful and intimate, even though we’ve just had a sex scene. It’s what makes it seem more real.
I think that after 2 weeks of 4-6 hours of sleep a night, Rose must be EXHAUSTED.
I love that the Doctor changes suits and doesn’t even HIDE the fact that he just shagged Jackie’s daughter to her. And also - no shirt! LOL! I love it. Jackie HAD to have noticed.
You don’t mention the Doctor falling asleep, but something tells me he didn’t sleep much or at all during the 2 months he was away. I imagine he fell asleep with Rose, for a little while. Maybe?
