There's my Rose. Quips and sass and all-even in the face of uncertainty. This was very unexpected and really quite wonderful. I could like these two a lot. Feel free to convince me by allowing us to drop in on them now and again!
oh that was beautiful! I just don't even have the words! I want to hug her for being afraid to show him her scars (I've love to see the first time Peter sees them in the light and his reaction).
Oh, Peter seeing her scars, and associated things, is one of the particular plot bunnies which has been hopping about. Blasted Alt!Alt!Verse, and blasted (Addictive) Professor Peter..
LOL:D I should leave some lettuce out for those bunnies. Get them nice and fat and big:D *evil grin* I love Alt!Alt!Verse:D It's just as fun as normal Alt!Verse. Still Alt!Verse is my favorite I love my poor little emotional scared Peter.

PHWOARRRRRRR! this is *wonderful* ... oh, my... what a thing to wake up to. I thought it wouldn't be up til this afternoon.
How do I love this... let me count the ways.
“Would...would you like to come home with me?” Peter asked, pulling back from their kiss.
fully aware that they've essentially wasted 2 years... not gonna happen again... gonna be straight and to the point and well... of course it works !:)
He looked as though he’d just awoken, his eyes clouded, his hair tousled
*THUD* *guh* *mind drifts* um... you were saying something ? but actually, in a way, he *has* just woken... from the cloud of being a widower who just lives his life, a good one to be sure, with a job he enjoys and friends, but nothing to really spark him...
‘Home’ for Peter was a small stone cottage near the University. A narrow path led visitors through the low stone fence, past some rose bushes; the front door was a lovely dark wood which looked positively ancient. so this Peter also takes the time to care for his garden... I'd imagine the roses

I realized, yesterday morning, that my day was going to be *insane*--and it was. So I'm very glad I posted early.
but actually, in a way, he *has* just woken...
Oh, that's a lovely point.
so this Peter also takes the time to care for his garden...
Professor Peter and his late wife, I imagine, built that garden together. So he'd have cared quite meticulously for it, after her death, as a way of...being with her. If that makes sense.
nice to know some things are just a part of who Peter is.
Oh, absolutely. ;)
his forthrightness is much more present from the beginning in Prof!Peter.
Oh yes. I think it's the result of being a Professor, on top of everything else you list.
she just sees things differently and the things she *is* sure of are different.
That she is--Rose, too, has been formed by different experiences.
I love the little detail... they've both been on their own for a long time and get nervous. like real people :)Well...that's 'cause they are ;) (I kid, of course,

He raised a finger, pressing it against his lips, and his eyes grew serious. “Are you on contraceptives, Rose?”
Her cheeks flamed at the casual directness of the question, and she stammered, “N-no.” She hadn’t needed to be, although Torchwood would have provided them to her as part of her medical care.
ever the gentleman... better to ask at this point than when neither of them could possibly have cared one way or the other... (refrains from making snide comment about 'most men' :)
Only active field agents were required to use birth control.
so she *had* been until the events that grounded her ?
“Always prepared?” She asked, a teasing note to her voice.
“My brother insists on leaving them here for me - just in case. This is the first time I’ve had to use them.” He watched her carefully, making sure she understood.
I SO want to hear the conversation where he explains to her *why* Martin insisted on leaving them there. *g*
He didn’t make a habit of sleeping around. She wondered if he’d had sex with anyone at all since his

I love how confidently forthright he is there.

Yes. (sorry for being so succinct--Mom's almost done making dinner...)
both a little nervous. both a little beyond the ability, or desire, to control... no going back... and yet... gorgeous description.
so is he going to take it off now ?
P_C already unleashed the plot bunny related to this story...
wow... I do love this alt!alt!verse... so many little things that are different and yet the same to play with. thank you!
You're welcome! I love playing in this alt!verse, too :)
Thank you!
