he doesn't think it's his memories, which really were just the mental equivalent of a hug. firstly, this was a really beautiful idea on its own, but more importantly and secondly, this is what this final chapter was for me. after i finished reading i just sat on the tube grinning, which must have frightened theother passengers considerably.

i don't think you could write a better ending than this... well, i think it's quite possible that you could, but i wouldn't want you to because it would devalue this which makes me so happy.

favourite parts: all of it really, though i particularly love the doctor and nicholas being arrested for stealing staplers, wikipedia controlling the galaxy and nicholas who was always the most purely fascinated by aliens being allowed to travel with the doctor :) its really beautiful and funny and lovely and wonderful.

also, i happened to read it whilst wearing a very soggy, very cold pair of converse so i felt the force of nicholas's remarks regarding them.
