Fic: Many The Miles

Aug 16, 2011 17:32

Many The Miles, Nine/Rose, NC-17
“So,” he said, urging her to shift to the passenger seat so he could climb into the driver’s side, “what do you think about this road trip?”

She laughed, pulling her hair back up and giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. “I’d say it was one of your better ideas yet.” (4,072 words)

( “...of all the stupid, idiotic things that you could do,” groused Rose )

I have a soft spot for fics where the Doctor and Rose are living a linear life. The idea of Nine and Rose going on a road trip in America is wonderful. There were so many special moments between them in your story. Rose and the Doctor buying clothes, Rose taking a peek at his parts, the two of them going to the country fair, and this:

He kissed her finger and shifted it away. “As I was sayin’, Rose, an’ I love you too, all right?”

Something inside her started to swell -- love, or happiness, or euphoria, or simply the pieces of their little world finally falling into place. She looked down at him, lying over her, his face alight with pleasure. With love. “Oh, Doctor,” she whispered.

There is so much love and tenderness between the two of them. Maybe tonight Rose, maybe tonight....

Awww thanks! :) I just wanted to write a non-angsty story that still had the two of them getting together in a plausible way. And I like road trip stories.

And heck yeah, Rose'll be getting some action tonight. :D

Love this story!!!
The premise is so wonderful. The Doctor and Rose on a road trip across America. Perfect. Then throw in an abundance of UST, the good old "only one room with one bed" plot and then to top it all some hot and steaming RST.
And what do you get? An absolutely wonderful fanfiction!

Hey, that "only one room with one bed" cliche and served many a fanfic writer's need for good ol' UST. Haha. :) It's one of my favourite cliches to work with, simply because the possibilities are endless.

Thanks so much!

This is absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip across America with Nine and Rose enjoying life day to day. There's something to be said about an author who can capture these characters in normal circumstances and still make it work. Their voices, and reactions to each other are perfect and I wanted to read more. Thank you for making my night and breathing life into my favorite characters. :)

*bows down before your greatness*

Thanks, seriously. :) And I think Rose and the Doctor works best without the aliens and the running (although that's part of the fun), you know, the quiet moments in between.

And you're welcome. Hope the rest of your evening was awesome as well. :D

Yesss, an angst-free Nine/Rose fic :) I, too, love the idea of them going on a road trip. It's certainly a different setting for Nine but it works because it *is* an adventure and he's always up for that!

Are you planning to write a follow-up?

Haha, I'm now realizing it's rare to find a happy Nine/Rose fic. :) Thankyew!

I don't know yet about a sequel for this, simply becuse I rarely write multi-chap.
