YES! Shaving always leads to shagging dammit!

[persiflage_1]

It does? *resolves to learn how to wield a razor...* ;D

[jo_mako]

in fic canon at least!

even in real life too...not that I know that or nothing...

[persiflage_1]

*grins*

I'll believe you...

[in_the_end]

Hawt!

[persiflage_1]

Oh really? Thanks... I was thinking it was more angsty than anything !

[in_the_end]

Shaving = Hawt!
Martha taking charge = Hawt!
The Doctor getting off on that = OMG HAWT!

[persiflage_1]

*giggles*

Message received and understood ! :D

Dislocating his shoulder and breaking his elbow in one day? Ouchie, poor Ten! This fic has a nice mix of "gooshy" and angst, and although it's sad that Martha lost her husband and child, it turns out alright in the end with the Doctor and all :)

[persiflage_1]

He really had a BAD day !

(That was inspired by the fact I once spent 6 weeks with my arm in a sling after dislocating my shoulder for the umpteenth time in 6 months - the doctors were worried I'd permanently damage it if I did it once more - and in the end I had to have an op to "fix" my shoulder!)

I confess I was a bit surprised by the angsty bits - I thought it was going to be straight forward smut - she shaves him then they shag... Martha!Bunny surprised me on that one...

But I'm glad you enjoyed it !

Oh dear, I've never broken any bones, twisted my ankle a few times and those were always hell, I can only imagine the pain and discomfort of 6 weeks in a sling plus an operation!

I'm feeling mighty angsty lately so this fic made me feel better, hahah. If shaving gets me some of that, well I think a lesson is in order :p

[persiflage_1]

Fortunately I've never broken any bones either - but those were the 6 longest weeks of my LIFE ! Luckily it was my left shoulder and I'm right-handed but it was still a major nuisance ! I even took my finals with my arm in a sling (and not just in a sling - they strapped it to my body so I literally could not move my arm... o_O)

I'm glad the fic made you feel better - and yeah, I need to learn how to shave with a proper razor blade ! Think DT would let me shave him? *grins*

The thing I like most about your fics are the little details, like The Look being a combination of Francine and UNIT training, Donna's husband hating coffee and being scared of spiders, or Jack leaving Tosh in charge.

[persiflage_1]

Thanks...

I confess the bit about Donna's husband was me having a slight laugh at Donna's expense (over Lance) - but it's affectionately meant as I've grown very fond of Donna...

Tosh seems like the most sensible person to leave in charge to be honest !

And Martha's "Look" - I just thought of the way Francine glares and that Martha would probably be a tough, no-nonsense commander !

[lolarity]

he'd book a three week holiday and leave Tosh in charge of his team

I loved this tiny detail! Because much as I love Ianto, leaving either Ianto or Owen in charge would be only slightly less destructive than leaving Janet the Weevil in charge.

And... shaving is so intimate. I ♥ shaving fic. :)

Ain't that the truth though ! :D
