It is really, really like fanfic. But in a good way. It manages to give you the squee of delight that you never, ever expected to get, and yet when you look at it from various angles it's also bittersweet and devastating.
And it's such a change from the Jossverse. I know all my fannish issues stem from there, but, just, I got resigned to never getting anything I want from a story. And here I actually got something I wanted SO BADLY. Rose and the Doctor! Together! They kiss! And I get the joy of that but it's not cheesy, because they've got a ton of issues to work through and because our Doctor is left alone and heartbroken.
