Beautiful. Really lovely. It,s the blue and white checked sofa bit that gets me every time!

So sad :( I hope you do write some AU stories, you write them so well.

And now I'm crying. This is lovely. Thank you for sharing. And feel free to share some AU endings as well - the more the merrier! ;-)

That was wonderful but very sad! I'd love to read more from you, you have a real talent for writing, and hey in the AU world they can both live and have some semblance of happiness!

Tragic! Utterly gorgeously tragic! So very poignant. :'( Well done.

A sad look at Ruth at the end - emotional and so much love. Well done.

I'm with you in not being on board and with prefering to go AU. But, that said, you manage to do a really nice job with the (rather sucky) canon version of things. It feels very in-character for Ruth. She just ... deals with things, doesn't she? So it totally fits that she'd deal with death. Lovely stuff.
