You were able to hit on the highlights of the Doctor's previous lives and his history within this wonderful story. The anguish the Doctor feels after the events of the Time War and his part in it are palpable here. It is always amazing to me that Rose knew exactly what to say to the Doctor at the end of EotW to give him the hope he so desperately needed.
This is so insightful: There was no way for a young Earth girl to expect a man like him, with every time and place in the universe at his fingertips, to be so lost, so broken, so at odds with his own reality.
She could not know how many men he'd already been, changing his face every handful of years as though caught up in a manic tarantella of identities.

Thank you for posting another great story.
