Never been a huge Doctor/Rose fan, but ever since he regenerated I can't seem to help myself from clicking on stories where Eleven runs into Rose, possibly because I'm a sucker for stories of him meeting companions he's left behind in general. I like the wistfulness, I like the conversations of time gone by, I just like seeing someone see the Doctor as the Doctor even if he's not the same as he used to be.

Grinned like an idiot, I did, at Rose's inference about an Amy/Doctor/Rory thing going on, at least on the Doctor's side. Something I've believed in for awhile is that at least to some degree the Doctor falls a bit in love with each of his companions, and it applies to Amy and Rory as much as anyone ("The Girl Who Waited... The Boy Who Waited", tell me he doesn't love them somewhat).

Lovely fic.
