This is going to sound a bit strange (or it may not), but I actually feel a little better about the JE ending and about Tenannt leaving. This works for me. That idea that ten is safely tucked away with Rose and that it'll stay that way...just the whole thing is really--reassuring. It's like this has been my first real step at saying goodbye,but opening that door to two different doctor's exsisting at the same time. Albite different universes.
Wonderful ficlet. I always enjoy your stuff!
