these are the tesco aisles of our lives, nine/rose, ten/rose, pg-13
“You know,” Rose says, quite out of the blue, “I’ve seen the TARDIS grow entire rooms. Rearrange my sock drawer by colour and fold my knickers into concentric triangles on laundry day." She just lets that sentence hang there in the middle of the dairy aisle, suspended in front of ( Read more... )

Okay seriously, how do you know how to do this to me and make these things which are so exactly what I need right now? And the title gave me the best laugh. (i was a teenage days of our lives fan)
I love the little things, the bits and pieces in the store, how the wheel on the cart is misbehaving (because there's always one and i ALWAYS end up with it) and the sale sign and the aisles they walk up and down.
It’s the things she says, he realizes. Those little flyaway comments and the way she says it.
♥ This whole little paragraph is just bittersweet perfection. Your phrasing is marvelous, especially your use of the word 'devastation,' which is so powerful and conveys just how much he wants that simple day-to-day life but he doesn't feel he can have it, and this:
to take her hand with no menace to run from and no world waiting for a pair of mismatched saviours such as them.
Incredible choice of words and a wonderful way to describe the Doctor and Rose.
The sound of his double heartbeat fills the store...
That moment in the aisle where she asks how different and he puts her hand over his hearts... *swoons* Oh that was so lovely!
“Does that mean you were made for me?”
He wonders if it’s time. They’re always running out of it, and he knows it’ll never be enough, not for the two of them. But if not, then they’ll make it themselves; time for trust, for love, for truth. “Yes, I suppose so. Yes.”
D'awwwww! *squishes* I know there's some sadness there but he's being so adorable and admitting that yes he totally regenerated into a pretty boy for her. XD
OH MY HEART THE ENDING. ♥ Yes, okay they're separated but it's like they are in the SAME PARKING LOT, and you just want to scream like at the end of Partners in Crime to turn around and go find each other! But there's that hope again and the knowledge that yes they will find each other.
This is sooooo good. I told you that you would make something brilliant and it absolutely is. ♥
Edited: Because I can't type coherently and spell properly when I'm in this much awe. ;)

*HUGS YOU* I'M HERE FOR YOU, BB!

LOL! Hee, I'm glad I could make you laugh! I'd never watched the show before, but it was one of those weird instances where you get the title first, and the fic kind of writes itself from there XD.
how the wheel on the cart is misbehaving (because there's always one and i ALWAYS end up with it)
ME TOO, GAAAH. It makes turning down the sharp corners of aisles so difficult without banging into it D:<.

Yes, exactly! Oh my dear, you just get me completely, you know that ♥? The supermarket, the trips to the grocery; after a while, it's like he's playing house, in a way, and he tricks himself into opening up to her more than before.

Well, both he and we all know how Rose feels about the pretty ones... ;D.

Omggg, Partners in Crime was hilarious and brilliant (especially that window scene XD), but sooo frustrating, because you were like c'mon! Donna is right there, two cubicles in front of you! Look, Doctor!!! They just kept missing each other, and I feel that way a little about the Doctor and Rose as well, not only in S4 physically but just in their feelings and intentions, like on Bad Wolf Bay. They know, but they can never really arrive at the same sort of understanding together... *pulls out hair*
This is sooooo good. I told you that you would make something brilliant and it absolutely is. ♥
*HUGS YOU MORE, LIKE, A LOT* Thank you so much for your fantastic, amazing comments. They're so wonderful to read and reread and so, so encouraging I can't even express how much ♥ ♥.
