And judging by interviews with the current production team, it looks like that isn't going to change much any time soon, meaning that the time between the end of the movie/books/audios/[insert personal canon here] and Rose is going to remain somewhat of a mystery to us. Which is in certain ways, a bit disappointing - especially for fans of the Eighth Doctor.
This fic covers a short amount of this time, showing us an immediately pre-Time War Eighth Doctor, having one last day of happiness before it all comes crashing down. It's brief, but beautiful, with wonderful characterisation of this Doctor (you can see he's the same guy who kissed Grace just for the joy of it), full of hope and life, and yet with just a touch of sadness to him. And the cameos from assorted characters are utterly wonderful.
