these are the tesco aisles of our lives, nine/rose, ten/rose, pg-13
“You know,” Rose says, quite out of the blue, “I’ve seen the TARDIS grow entire rooms. Rearrange my sock drawer by colour and fold my knickers into concentric triangles on laundry day." She just lets that sentence hang there in the middle of the dairy aisle, suspended in front of ( Read more... )

Oh, you. So amazing. This was just epic in an everyday sort of way...you are so good at capturing the details and the joy and the weightlessness of them together...I thoroughly enjoyed this, even as it ached at my heart. Love, love, love.

*blushes* Thank you very much!

I was feeling rather down about the impending finale (still am, now on the other side of it D:) and wrote it almost as a reminder to myself of how they once were, no matter where they were. And to hear you enjoyed it as well makes me so, so happy ♥ ♥.

♥♥♥♥

Okay seriously, how do you know how to do this to me and make these things which are so exactly what I need right now? And the title gave me the best laugh. (i was a teenage days of our lives fan)

I love the little things, the bits and pieces in the store, how the wheel on the cart is misbehaving (because there's always one and i ALWAYS end up with it) and the sale sign and the aisles they walk up and down.

It’s the things she says, he realizes. Those little flyaway comments and the way she says it.

♥ This whole little paragraph is just bittersweet perfection. Your phrasing is marvelous, especially your use of the word 'devastation,' which is so powerful and conveys just how much he wants that simple day-to-day life but he doesn't feel he can have it, and this:
to take her hand with no menace to run from and no world waiting for a pair of mismatched saviours such as them.

Incredible choice of words and a wonderful way to describe the Doctor and Rose.

The sound of his double heartbeat fills the store...That moment in the ( ... )

*HUGS YOU* I'M HERE FOR YOU, BB!

LOL! Hee, I'm glad I could make you laugh! I'd never watched the show before, but it was one of those weird instances where you get the title first, and the fic kind of writes itself from there XD.

how the wheel on the cart is misbehaving (because there's always one and i ALWAYS end up with it)
ME TOO, GAAAH. It makes turning down the sharp corners of aisles so difficult without banging into it D:<.

Yes, exactly! Oh my dear, you just get me completely, you know that ♥? The supermarket, the trips to the grocery; after a while, it's like he's playing house, in a way, and he tricks himself into opening up to her more than before.

he's being so adorable and admitting that yes he totally regenerated into a pretty ( ... )

Oh god I loved this. The little details about the TARDIS and her timelord. And their voices were perfect! Especially Rose. I could hear her perfectly in my head. I just adored it.

Awww, thank you so much! *huggles you* I adore writing Rose; she has such a distinct sort of voice, and to have you say you heard it in my fic makes me so, so happy ♥.

The Doctor and Rose have the ability to make even the most mundane little things adorable ♥. And I've always loved the idea of them in Tesco :D.

Oh dear God this was quite possibly the worst thing ever to read right after finishing part 2 of The End of Time.
*holds you tight* I stayed off the Internet and LJ for a good day after watching the finale - I just couldn't stand it ;__;.

how they're always reaching for one another one such little subtle ways.
They are - not just through space and time, but I've always felt like sometimes, both emotionally and in their intentions, the Doctor and Rose don't always arrive at the same time. I was hoping to show in this fic maybe the odd moment of clarity between the two of them but yeah - they're always so fleeting and it's like a stab in the gut you want more of ;__;.

I don't particularity care for 9--just never got into him, but his characterization in this honestly makes me want to go back and rewatch series 1 to see him in these sorts of moments.
Ten will forever be my Doctor, but Nine holds a special place in my heart - I'm so happy to hear that you might consider giving him a second chance! He was a gruff ol' sweetie ♥.

How do you go and make something as dull and ordinary as a grocery store ALL ADORABLE AND SHIPPY AND EPIC?! Oh right well I suppose Doctor/Rose make all things that way, but your brilliant writing had a lot to do with it too.
*BLUSHES* It was mostly due to the fact that the Doctor and Rose make all the mundane chores in the world the absolute epitome of ADORABLE EPIC SHIPPY-NESS, but thank you so, so much darling ♥ ♥.

the whole MADE FOR ROSE conversation that completely melted me into goo
Oh man, I just - gaaah, THEY'RE SO PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE HE WAS LIKE, CUSTOM MADE FOR HEEEEER! Which is something you don't hear often outside of our fandom, but whatevs, it's awesome XD.

hinting flashback of KISSING WHEN GROCERY SHOPPING WITH ROSE
HEEEE. I like to think they did a lot of that, from over-the-cart pecks when they go down different aisles to full on snogging by the frozen dinners ♥.

You are just wonderful, you really, really are; you haven't any idea how much your incredible comments mean ♥. Thank you so much, bb!
