OK, I simply do not have the words to describe just how much I enjoyed reading this. Beautiful and lyrical and mythical and magical and... (lots of other words ending in -ical that mean good things).

I think this is the kind of thing people mean when they describe a fic as 'pure poetry'. The descriptions ring so very painfully true for both Jack and the Doctor (both of versions of him), but the real power of it is in just how much it made me feel as I read.

Thank you for posting this. It really was a gorgeous read :-)
