This was awesome! I loved what you did with Rose!Doctor and Compaion!Nine so hard. I have read other retellings of episodes but none where the action and dialogue was changed so much and so appropriately. It usually makes me so angry when authors write a fic where the episode is supposed to be different because they've changed some significant thing but then they copy what happened on screen word for word. I loved your take on this and thought you had the characters down perfectly. I'd love to see more in this 'verse and do so hope you write the next episode.

Thank you very much! Changing it so much meant a LOT more work, but made it immensely more fun. I loved writing these characters so another episode isn't out of the question (just don't ask for a deadline).

Oh, I won't. I know how writing goes. I'll just have to keep checking back :)

Haha always nice to have a writing-stalker. Cheers!

This is an interesting premise, and I echo what the person above me said that it's great how you changed the episode enough that we can see a change from canon, while it's still just so 'them'.

This was great and if you do write more in this 'verse, I'd love to read it!

Ooooh peer pressure! No, these characters are far too delicious to leave them like this, and it may take some time, but they will return! Thanks for the read!

What an interesting swap of characters. You did a wonderful job of staying true to their personalities yet shifting the roles between the two. I certainly look forward to reading more in the future.

Well done!

Thank you very much! It was a fine line to walk with the mixing of personalties, but glad to hear that they rang true.

I just read all 5 chapters and I completely love this fic!!!!! I am delighted to read in the comments that you intend to write more!!! Great job!!!!

[alex_caligari]

Thanks! With all this support that second fic may get written a lot faster than this last one did.

Thank you for this story. I do hope you write more of the Rose/Nine Companion. I'd defintely read it!

Thanks for reading! I can already hear John snarking at me and Rose!Doctor itching for adventure. I've opened quite a can of worms with this one.
