This is now my favorite pairing in the whole. Wide. World. I want to adolescently doodle it into the edges of my notebooks, Donna + Rodney 4EVR.
In all seriousness, I never would've thought of this. You took my two favorite characters in all of sci-fi and made them not just interact but get along, and have just enough in the way of commonalities and differences to make a relationship work between them. It would've been nice if Donna could've kept at least some of her knowledge from when she was part Time-Lord, but at the same time it gives she and Rodney something more to share: they were each once greater than they are now, and they mourn the loss. It's a beautiful parallel I wouldn't have thought to make.

So, in short: <3! A great deal. ;)
