Well, thank you very much, you make me think of summer and stone warmed by the sun, bare feet and apple juice, crickets. You have no right. I hate summer.
More seriously; this was so delicious, really gorgeous and precious and BABIES! The sensuality factor is tremendous and overwhelming. This is such a neat, crafted slice of pleasure.
My favourite part must be Barbara observing his mussed hair and later stating she likes it when he obeys her like that. In fact, they both ridiculously look like cats here, languid, lying, smirking. It's just perfect.

♥♥♥♥♥ I love causing those impressions in you, and I love it even more because you hate summer, lol! Keep summer as an abstract idea. You have all the gorgeous images to go along with it already ;)

So yes, thank you sooooo much ♥ I'm so happy you enjoyed, as always, happy you liked the sensuality and the obedience and the hair :) Cats, absolutely. *grinning* I so enjoyed writing this.

Love you! ♥

*whispers* I really hate summer though. Sun! Insects! Tourists! Too many people on cycling paths! *is obviously not whispering anymore* Not so abstract. But yes, gorgeous imagery is provided through this season.

Cat!Barbara and Ian could be an AU. With Baudelaire-like insight. Grrrr.

*loves you from her winter palace*

Haha, yes, all good points! I mentioned hatred of bees and wasps, and I'm not in the city so I don't have to suffer from tourists and people on cycling paths, lol. I don't have cycling paths. And the sun I like ♥ And summer fruit, mmm. ♥

Oh Baudelaire. Goodness. ♥♥♥

Be the winter queen! ;) (And winter is coming…)

Your attention to detail reaches levels of awe-inspiring! I hadn't even realized they had such particular speech patterns until I read this and notice how very in character they both are. Makes me want to get back to my rewatch of the classics, LOL

Oh, thank you SO MUCH :D I'm absolutely delighted you enjoyed the voices! ♥

Classics rewatching is the best thing! Well, the longest thing too, probably ;) I've only seen the One era and part of Two for now. Making progress though, slowly but surely ;)

I grew up watching old school on Sci Fi Friday night on IPTV (LOL random PBS love), so I'm pretty sure I've watched all of them at least once in my lifetime. Though, that was so long ago I mostly just remember the broad strokes, the setups, the companions, etc.. Ace & Romana are <3, but you won't get to them for a while yet.

I started a rewatch from the beginning a few months ago, but got bogged down with other stuff and haven't gotten back to it yet. Some newer fans seem to not be able to enjoy the older eps, so I'm glad you've discovered how awesome they can be! Some of it is quite corny, I'll admit, but the concepts hold up rather well. Plus, I've got the nostalgia going for me :)

God, yes. I'm looking forward to a lot of things (Seven, Ace, the Master, Romana, more Gallifrey stuff) but what with watching in order, I know it'll take a long while! For now I've got Two, Jamie and Victoria though, so that's good enough!

I had a bit of trouble getting caught into it at the first eps, but I'm so glad I ended up giving it another try! Of course there are always things to be criticized (or rather laughed at…), but it's still wonderful, and it's so great seeing the history of the show, the evolution of the character and concepts-fifty years! The first regeneration, the slow building of the Doctor's origins, it's all pretty fascinating. Plus all the hilarious stuff and the brilliance of Hartnell and Troughton. ♥ Hartnell was my only classic Doctor when I saw Adventure in Space and Time, and I just wanted to tear up.
