I loved this line: "New New New New New—discover this too, some delight of your lips and tongue that makes you talk so rapidly you might one day collapse into breathlessness" - because I'm always just waiting for the doctor to collapse in the middle of one of his rants.
"Do not tell her you love her; only tell yourself. Lie because you like it. " - That felt very real to me. As if he doesn't want to lie to her, but can't bear to tell the truth either. So he bends it a little and makes a new truth up in his head. That's great.
"One human woman existing in your life for an eyeblink does not make you any less alone." - That line made me go all "Just wait, someone is coming for you!" and feel very stupid two seconds afterwards.
I loved this fic, because it shows a side of the Doctor everybody expects him to have but never actually is shown. You just made it canon! Care to replace RTD? You've got my vote! XD
