I just found this story. Just fabulous, and I hope you write more on it. I would love to see how this shakes out.
It's so hard to do a Rose and Reinette story without making one of them the villain, but you've done a brilliant job. Love it.
Yes, yes, yes! Lovely. I think you've got the characters dead on, to the point where this is already one of the very best post-GITF fics I've ever read. Cannot WAIT for more.
I NEED MORE. Fuhh...this is getting good. I can feel the tension at that kitchen scene. Tsk, tsk; what have you done Doctor
When I saw that it said this story was updated I literally was like "I'm gonna fangirl!!!!" XD This story is awesome, keep it up!
"how dare he say she was his when he so clearly wasn’t hers?"...that sums up my feelings exactly...hope Rose remembers that bit of advice from Mickey's Gran about not chasing after the man she wants...this story has pulled me in and has me teetering on the edge of anxious and angry on Rose's behalf.
oh damn. The Doctor can be such an ass sometimes. I mean poor Rose. and i don't find her selfish or clingy in her thoughts- she's just being realistic which is something a lot of us can related too. Rienette obviously has no qualms over making her moves on the man in charge. ugh these two
Loving this! and:
at least there wasn’t frog wallpaper or paintings of peasants storming the Bastille or anything
Haha, I could totally see the TARDIS doing that- great line! :-)
Author's Response: Lol, thanks!
Very well done, thus far. Please add more and soon. Pleeeeaaaase? Here's a rose 🌹 as a bribe.
Author's Response: Wow, thanks! I don\'t think I\'ve gotten a rose before. Neato! (And yes, there will be more soon. :) )
Oh, I'm looking forward to this one! I like how you characterized Reinette - very historically accurate and understandably patronizing. And the struggle Rose is going through is really believable! So many times in fics where Reinette tags along, Rose displays either one extreme (total, catty bitchiness) or the other (acceptance to the point of madness). I'm glad you've sort of got a middle ground happening here. And the Doctor...needs a good smack upside the head, but I'm sure he's going to spend a lot of time being thick, isn't he? Anyhow, can't wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks! Yeah, definitely trying for a middle ground here. I don\'t want to demonize Reinette, but I do want her to have her own motivations, be her own person, etc. It can get tricky, lol -- anything involving this episode is a potential minefield. Glad it\'s working so far!
don't agree with Rose about being the biggest bitch in the universe...under those circumstances I believe she acted appropriately...always in for an angsty TGIF and anxious to learn a bit more about Rose's extra abilities, at least what I thought were real extras.
Author's Response: Yeah, I agree -- that\'s definitely meant to be her own self-assessment and not necessarily the reader/narrator\'s. She is struggling with her own issues (and doing pretty well, I agree!), but she expects a lot of herself. Plus, she also has the perspective of hearing her own internal voice alongside her external actions and is taking that into account. Thanks!
I actually thought she handled it rather well. Who could blame her for her feelings? At least she had the sense not to act upon them. :)
Author's Response: Yeah, Rose is holding herself to a very high standard. Thanks!
Ooh, goody! New GITF angst.
Author's Response: Hooray! (And thanks!)
Really liked this! Love how you've captured a very realistic view of Rose's thought process. Especially how she felt with Mickey...more?
Author's Response: Thank you! There will definitely be more.
