Black Books, PG, Nine/Rose
They lost the Doctor’s special edition collected works of Austen in the most ridiculous way. Rose, he had quickly discovered, had what the Doctor labelled a ‘blatant disregard for canonic Earth literature’ and in between adventures was doing his best to educate her on Dickens, Ibsen, Wilde, and Adams (Douglas).

Love it! haven't seen much Black Books, but from what I have I'd say you captured them really well. Wonder if Ten and Rose ever did finish that story though.

First thing I thought of when I saw that prompt picture was of Bernard's book store :P then again, have been watching lots of Black Books recently so...

Glad to hear that somebody knows what this story is on about lol, I was worried it would be too obscure :P

ah well, I might not have watched many myself, but hubby watches them so I've caught bits here and there when I've wandered through to see what he's laughing at. And I agree, that picture prompt is very reminiscent of Bernard's shop.

It's quite an excellent show :)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE. Oh man, two of my favourite things TOGETHER. And I love how you wrote Bernard -- Irish smoking drinking aaaaargh to a T! :D

And what a cute ending. Recommending this to a bunch of chappies. ♥

I honestly couldn't not write a Black Books crossover when I saw that pic XD it was just too perfect.

I'm glad you think I had Bernard down because omg, I have NEVER written him before and haven't even seen all of Black Books :P *bad fangirl! whaps wrist*

Even gladder you like the ending too ^_^ thank you so much for the awesome comment!

Oh my god! You are my new hero. You combined two of my favourite things and made it into this hilarious story. :D

<3

Hee ^_^ well that makes me very happy because I was a bit worried that nobody would get this or think it was funny. I tend to be better at the angst :P

Ohhhhhh, this is ADORABLE.

“Jericho Under 7’s Gymnastics team?” he guessed and she grinned even wider, if that was possible, clambering up onto the main level and bounding over to him as he began to set coordinates.

I always wish we'd seen more of that in canon. I mean, obviously Billie wasn't a gymnast, but WHATEVA THAT'S WHAT STUNT DOUBLES ARE FOR.

“Fine. Shop girl and a Time Lord walk into a bookshop. Time Lord says...‘I need a new set of Austen’. Bookshop owner wants to know why. Time Lord says, ‘dropped mine into the Baltic Sea’. Bookshop guy wants to know how he managed to drop the book in the Baltic Sea. Shop girl says, ‘well it was either the book or me!’”

Oh god best joke ever Rose I love you.

She may not have been a gymnast but she could definitely dance! Have you seen her video clips man? Even I was impressed and I've been dancing since I was 3! Backwards rolls aren't that hard anyway, although doing it on that grating would've hurt like a bitch. No worse than that scene in T&C where she and Ten just about crack their skulls open on it though I guess.

Omg, I totally fail at making jokes up so thank god Rose was slightly drunk and could therefore make a terrible, terrible joke without making me look like a dweeb XP
