HMT!Verse

The HMT!Verse is the *What If* universe of the Lilith!Verse. It is based off of the *What If* scenario where Rose is returned to the Doctor *after* the Pond Era instead of before, and is the only universe featured in the How Many Tears trilogy. The HMT!Verse was created due to my (Darkel\_Tyler) reluctance to do the Pond Era with Lilith *plus* Rose and Darkel. The name How Many Tears comes from the terrible joke "How many tears does the Doctor cry?" The answer is "two ponds, a river, and enough to water a rose" which are the titles of the three stories in the trilogy.
