Oh, cool, I found it again! This, and a fic by Singe, are two of the only huddle-for-warmth reversal fics I've ever seen—stories in which a character has to cuddle up against the Doctor to keep cool. I like the inversion of the usual trope. And, of course, I shamelessly repurposed "they're takin' over the world," from oysters to dandelions, and used it in one of my own stories. So thank you for that, too!
Good story. Like everyone else, I loved the rant about oysters taking over the world.
I do love 9 and Rose together. And agree with previous reviews. The raving about oysters and his response was lovely aswas his upset at being mistaken for Jackie.

Aw, adorable and, well, hot! Wonderful little Nine/Rose story, something that is sadly rare nowadays. Glad to read my favorite Who writer is still churning out little beauties like this one. :)
“Oysters,” she muttered. “They’re takin’ over the world.”
“I won’t let them,” he assured her, stroking her burning face.
I LOVED that little raving, and even more I loved the Doctor's response. That was so much the show, and a lovely reminder of the Doctor's quirkiness and affection for Rose. Thanks for more sexay Nine fic!
A controlled burn--clever, you. 8) A nice bit of sweetness.
Aww, that was some very sweet hurt/comfort. I like the little touch of humor with Nine's consternation at being mistaken for Jackie.
lovely, as always. I do love me some good hurt/comfort. *sigh*
