Character/Pairing: Ten II/Rose
Rating: PG
Summary: Everyone has their issues.
Disclaimer: I own very little.
Author's Notes: This is for roxyk630, who requested 8 hours after Winnowing in the timestamp meme. Not absolutely essential to have read that, but it would help. Basically the morning after their first serious row. ( Read more... )

Thanks very much. The end of this changed about a hundred times, so I'm especially glad it worked for you. :)

YAY! I Love it. Especially those last few lines. I love that you've given them issues to work through as well because... I like to think that they'd have them. *hughug* Thank you! I adore it!!!!

Yay! You're welcome. I'm glad it didn't disappoint. I'd been laying awake nights thinking of what to do for this! I was almost ready to write out a whole sequel, with just a bunch more arguing. I'm really glad (for the sake of my sanity) that I didn't.

Thank you for the prompt and the comment! :D

You are quite welcome! I'm glad I could challenge your brain ;)

I love the uncertainty with which he is facing things now. It's hard enough for 100% human couples to deal with the awkwardness after a fight; it must be a million times worse for him. In fact, if I'm remembering right, the only time he fought with Rose that we saw was during "Father's Day;" a fight that was mended with Rose's deep penitence. How would he handle an argument as peers? It must be very unsettling on top of his already upsetting circumstances. I like how you handled it and brought so much out with so little dialogue.

Yeah, I think he'd have a lot of trouble dealing with simple human coupley things like having fights. Especially when they're about fundamental things that are difficult to resolve.

I like how you handled it and brought so much out with so little dialogue.

Thank you very much. I didn't want to necessarily resolve anything (especially in such a short fic), because their issues can't be solved with few words. Only by time, lots of patience, fighting, making up, and being each other's rocks, generally. I wanted to represent that. Hopeful, but not squeaky-shiny-happy. ;)

Thank you for your lovely comment. :)
