The life you put together for the Ninth Doctor and Rose fits them like a glove. They would be loath to stay in one place very long. 'Bad Wolf' as the name of the boat was inspired.
I was wondering why you picked Australia and recognized the Classic Who characters. I love when authors tip their hats to the past.
It would be hard for me to see River with children too. Maybe due to the fact that she was kidnapped and brainwashed as an infant. No maternal role model in her life. I agree that Rose seems to have a more maternal side to her. She is such a compassionate person. That is probably due to Jackie's mother bear streak.
Thank you for the meta. I really enjoy the intimate glimpses into my favorite fanfiction.
I had originally considered putting a trip to Ireland in there but that wouldn't be as exotic for Rose, who grew up so close, as it was for me. :D And Australia was more recent and thus more fresh in my mind.
Thank you so much! I enjoy talking about my fic (as my husband could tell you) and it's fun to share what's going on in my head while I'm writing. XP
Now I should probably go work on finishing the two fics that Fogs has declared I must complete before she ducktapes me to a chair and deprives me of shiny things. >.
Eventually! I have to finish Alternatively and then maybe I'll start outlining the epilogue. XP The good news is that starting monday I'll be back in the computer lab 13 hours a week, so I'll have dedicated writing time again!
Exactly! I've read too many HN/FOB fics with exactly the same possible future for John and Rose, and 1) Rose is different than Joan, so the future the two of them would have would be different anyway, and 2) different Doctors want different things. :D
I've never understood that. Lots of fics suggest it, but it really doesn't seem to suit Rose. Joan was a product of her time. Rose needs to move around more. See more, do more...
And seriously, I know that Nine and Ten have some similarities, but there's definitely a lot of differences too. How they'd see/hope their lives went would be a bit different I think.
I have enough trouble dealing with any Doctor regenerating, so when they actually pass on it breaks my heart. You made it very plain that John is the Doctor. Rose's decision to enter into a physical relationship with John was based on that very fact.
Love this: We always see him in motion, partly because he’s running away, but also partly for the joy of running. I think he does like to discover, experience, and learn even after 900 years of doing so. The Doctor may be a bit darker since the reboot, but at his heart he is full of joy
( ... )
YES. I cried at The Parting of the Ways and I BAWLED at the final moments of The End of Time part 2. People get confused because they're fictional characters--but they're not. They're real to you and me because we know them, we share in their sorrows and their joys, we laugh with them and yell at them when they do things that irritate us.
I love what Amy says about the Doctor--a boy and his box, off to see the universe. At the heart of him, that's who he is. And it should show. With Rose and especially as 10 he was so completely FULL of joy that it overflowed and touched everything that he did--because he was the Doctor and he was in love with Rose Tyler, and I believe he always will be.
That is horribly sad. Did you at least have a good supply of fluff nearby? I can't read sad things (like Behind Closed Doors) without fluff.
I still cry during those episodes. Even after all these years I cannot help it.
Yes, I applied a copious amount of fluff but still it sticks in my brain. Rose was pregnant with their child too and that made it so much worse. Jack was there for him but still!
They are real to me and always will be. I wouldn't be reading fanfiction if they were not.
Me too! My brother is all 'why are you crying this isn't real' and I'm all 'it totally is! RIP OUT MY HEART WHY DON'T YOU?'
I want to reread 'Behind Closed Doors' because it was so awesome but I don't because then I'm going to be curled up in bed crying and I'm really tired of crying at the moment.

This was a wonderful bit of fic. I like the idea of a possible future for them. Very different to what you could imagine Ten being ok with.

The Doctor will always love Rose Tyler.
