Why this must be read: The author describes this story as "basically a shipper-induced fantasy version of how [she]’d like the regeneration to go"--and that's pretty much what it is. My reaction to this story was basically, "Aww. Poor emo!Doctor and his man!pain." There's also a tiny, horrible part of me who would love to see the regeneration go like this, *just because* it would anger certain parts of fandom.

[Rose] laughed softly. Then her expression turned wistful. “Doctor?”

“Hmm?”

She released a shaky breath. “It didn’t need saying.”

It was a lie—he knew it was a lie—but it warmed him to hear it all the same.
