The Way of Things, Chapter 27

[jlrpuck_fic]

Ian had restricted entry to Peter and Rose, the respective team leaders, and had delicately led them across the bubbled and blackened wood of the floor to the site of the body, avoiding the places marked by the fire brigade as unsafe. The blackened corpse was curled into a ball in a corner of the building, and only someone who knew what they were

In the beginning of this, all I wanted to say was 'oh, Peter,' and by the end I wanted to give him a Doctor-to-Zack hug, happy-strange expression included. <3 Yay, Peter! You can do it!

Also love the blanket scene, and Peter taking that stand against Jake, and Jake willing to understand him and help him fend off Mickey. Eee, this makes me feel extremely happy.

The Tin Dogs all trying to keep their voices down so Rose can sleep and somewhat failing miserably is so much like siblings that it is extremely fluffy. And yay for contemplative!James!

Rose starting to realise that Peter may have been hurt just as much as she was, if not more so, is so showing her being more adult about the situation. I don't really know why she would've thought it was entirely Peter being egotistical (although I guess it's possible for guys to do so), but seeing her put little bits of the night together to come out with a lot of questions is love. <3 I need to come up with more words to describe this (adorable? Wonderful? Prodigious?) story.Peter being nice

Beautifully done yet again. <3

I'm so glad that Peter is sorting out his feelings and coming to a conclusion that I like.

Mickey is doing exactly what I think he would have done if the Doctor had ever hurt Rose as well, albeit I think he would have been a little more apprehensive with the Doctor considering what the Doctor could have done back to him.

Can't wait to find out who the body is! Lovely mystery.

I'll be ready for the next chapter! ^_^

He'll get there....eventually ;)

I'll be back home for the next chapter, which means I'll be back to posting at my regular time: sometime between 7 and 9am, Eastern Daylight Time. Cheers!

Yes, Poor Peter definitely needs a hug. Or a shag. Preferably both. :)

The angst needed some lightness; the Tin Dogs (*awesome* name for them) seemed the best spot for comic relief. :)

I love Rose, but I always imagined that she'd been a bit...indulged, really, in her emotions since she got stranded. It's good for her to learn that there are two people in any relationship, and she might need to consider the other person in amongst her self-pity (no matter how well-deserved).

Peter being nice to Penny even though he's had a crappy day!Peter, too, is having to learn how to relate to others; only, in his case, he's so used to being ignored/mocked/shut down emotionally, he's learning how to
