I live in SE Massachusetts. Great location for a fic!

I really enjoyed this, thank you!

I'm from near Boston and living in Providence, currently. But I have a special place in my heart for the little rural areas and the hills and beaches of New England. As you could probably tell. :)

I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, you do have a gift for setting a scene! I can just see the cabbage-patches and the pumpkin fields, and smell the hot apple cider :) And I've never had a cider doughnut, but it sounds YUMMY.

This is very in character for the two of them, and leaves me with a lovely, warm, fluffy feeling :) The dancing, the nonsense conversation, the Doctor carrying Rose to bed and that chaste kiss and the way he's looking at her at the end - perfect. Loved it :)

Thank you for such a lovely review! It fills *me* with a warm, fluffy feeling. :)

I'm glad you liked the description passages so much (I really do love fall in New England); I felt like I was struggling with dialogue/description balance. Well, practice, as they say... ;)

And I'm overjoyed you think it's in character! As much as I love the Doctor and Rose overcoming the epic baddies, I would have loved to see more of their exploring and puzzling out strange or quirky things on screen. That's why I write it, I s'pose.

And I love Rose and the Doctor loving each other in any manner, and I love to see the Doctor floored. Thus the ending. Hee.

Brilliant. :D Just brilliant. A nice little sort of slice of life story, and the thought of them dancing under the moonlight is just a lovely vision. I especially like your last vision of the Doctor as so many others have already said, he's a bit gobsmacked, isn't he? ;)

And as I sit here shivering in my own SE New England apartment, I'm thinking that hot apple cider sounds really good right about now...

Thank you, thank you. I love slice-of-life stories. And silly stories, and quirky stories. (I really must get my hands on some of those DW episodes that Douglas Adams wrote.)

As I mentioned above, I do love to see the Doctor flummoxed. Ten does the surprise, shock, and humor very well. It would be harder to broadside Nine...I'm really tempted to try writing that, now. :)

And, I know - hasn't it gotten just *freezing* in the past few days? I suppose one good thing about still living in the dorms is that they do our heat for us...at a steady 85 degrees. No joke. I've had to open my window in order not to melt. I try not to think about how much money they're wasting on energy. :P

If you attempt to write flummoxed Nine, they will come! Or at least I will, I'd so love to see that. Hell, I'll see anything with Christopher Eccleston actually, but that's just me...

Freezing is an understatement! And I think it's supposed to snow on Sunday. Joy. My dorms when I was at Roger Williams were the exact same way - twenty degrees outside, window open with fan on in the inside. And we were right on the Mount Hope bay too, you'd think there'd be a nice breeze...

And if you're looking for something a little more entertaining than laughing at wasteful school admins, in one of the quickie lunch places called Panini Grill down by where I work in Middletown, they have a classic Doctor Who pinball machine in there. My friend pointed it out to me, at which point I was all *squee*. Mature, me? Nah...

Awww, that was so cute! I love the image of them dancing in the moonlight, and the Doctor singing "Brown Eyed Girl" was just fantastic :D

Hehe, thanks so much. :)
The dancing scene was actually where this fic started. And then I saw the pumpkin pic prompt and said to myself, 'what would the Doctor say to pumpkins?' And it just sort of grew from there.
The Van Morrison crept in there sneakily and decided not only was 'Moondance' required, but 'Brown-eyed Girl' was going to have to make an appearance too. And the Doctor likes his brown-eyed girl. ;)
