Why this must be read:

One of the main themes of Doctor Who is the fact that the Doctor is always jumping around through time - I mean, thats what he does. This story however is different, though he is still traveling, Rose is the one jumping in at different times, just when the Doctor needs her the most. The Doctor is traveling on the slow path, and of course, being the Doctor and all, hes not very happy about it. Rallalon writes beautifully the Doctor's thoughts coming up on the Time War, then his healing after...up until he meets Rose for her first time, and then beyond.

He stands, wishes he were taller again. "You’re not going to tell me your name, are you?"

"Not when I’ve already told you," she says and he can’t imagine how that simple contradiction could feel so significant.

"When?" He doesn’t know her time period, but he can guess her planet. He knows a London accent when he hears one, thinks he’s thinking of the right London.

"Not yet," she tells him and something in her eyes tells him that she’s seeing a different face. She turns from him, crosses to the door.

"Will I love you?" he calls after her, jumbling his pronouns as her hand touches the door handle. He can’t think, can’t move, can’t care that all of his clothes are still on the floor.

She smiles at him over her shoulder, bright and shining and mystifying and fantastic. "Don’t you already?"

She walks out of his life and into his future.
