A/N: Title used is ‘Symphony Of Illumination’

They’re a strange pair, a living dead man who’d lost hope and a woman who’d lost her reason to live. Yet here they stand, on a rooftop at night, thinking maybe they can go on after all.

Life’s not all darkness and despair; hope can be found in the unlikeliest of places. The future’s looking brighter for both of them, all because of a mysterious alien device; a message they can neither decipher nor comprehend.

It sings to them, a symphony comprised of ribbons of light, more beautiful than anything they’ve ever experienced, and it fills their hearts with wonder.

The End

It remains one of my favorite Owen moments and yet oddly it also remains one of the top I loathe RTD ,with his head full of nothing but saint Gwen, because he never recognized what am amazing group of actors who did so much with so little.
End of rant. Great story.

I agree completely - he had three brilliant actors, but focussed on the mediocre one playing the unrelentingly dull, ordinary character instead of using Burn, Naoko and Gareth to their full potential and exploring the wondefully layered characters they played. What a waste!

hank you!
