Oh, I love that piece of insight, you really explore the Doctor's feelings regarding Rose and Martha very nicely—the way he couldn't help comparing them, how unfair it was and how much it frustrated him, and the fact that they couldn't be compared, they were so different and each of them unique, as human beings are ♥ You really did wonderful justice to what a brilliant character Martha was, while still showing that the Doctor's connection to Rose was so powerful and one he just couldn't shake off. I love the fact that he felt equally frustrated when Martha measured up to Rose and when she didn't, it's spot-on. I like how he couldn't seem to define what Martha was to him, too, that she wasn't his anything, she was brilliant all on her own, yet still offered him all of her strength, support, friendship and help. Martha being light and shade alike was a very beautiful sentence. And I also really like the way you smoothly insert those ponderings into the episode's narrative, starting with her ending line and finishing with the horn ;) Neat! Very nice job.
