It's been a while, but I've finally written more Who-fic, and this time it's not Ten/Martha (or not explicitly, anyway).

Title: Always the Mothers
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Francine Jones, Jackie Tyler, Tenth Doctor, mentions of Rose and Martha
Rating: A tentative PG?
Spoilers: S4 (and, by extension, all of S3)

OK the middle bit (where Francine and Jackie are comparing notes) left me with tears in my eyes - and then I laughed aloud at the ending ! Well done !

Thank you! I was so nervous, writing characters I'd never tried before. I'm glad it worked!

[persiflage_1]

It did !

Completely randomly, that icon is made of awesome.

Jay, this is awesome, angst included!
It's not often that you look at all of the Doctor Who goings-on from the perspective of their mothers, and it was really interesting (and sad).

And I love the ending. The poor Doctor. XD

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ^.^ As I said in the summary, it happened because of a conversation over at lifeonmartha. I'm glad I ended up writing it, because it gave me an opportunity to write characters I've never tried to write before - and because you like it so much! ^.^

Very cute. Hilarious ending, too, dear.

[bewarethespork]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

This is cute, it's interesting to think of the stories from the viewpoint of the Mums. Especially since they are both such strong-willed characters. You captured both of them well.

Thank you! I'm glad I did manage to get their characterisations right, as I'd never tried to write either of them before now.

P.S. I love your icon.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
