Fanfiction: Night and the Doctor: Date Night

[eblackwell]

Summary: The Doctor and River are on a date night during The Power of Three - or nights, they’ve lost count - where the Doctor does a mating dance for River, she turns tying a bowtie into a sensual experience, and a rest stop for dessert becomes a life changing moment. In response to a prompt at the River/Doctor Fluff Ficathon.

That was BRILLIANT!

I love the bowties, how she spruced up the one guy, complete with cane, then turned and practically seduced the Doctor right in front of them. "Is it getting hot in here?" LOL!

And the festival, and him trying to reach things on the table top like a little boy, and shared naughty thoughts from the cake.

And then Jenny at the end. I would love to see a story with the Doctor, River and Jenny. Two kickass fighting warrior women, "Wait a minute, dad, why is it okay for her to use a gun?"

:D

Loved this story.

Thank you SO much! That means a lot!

Have you seen the RiverxDoctor and Jenny stories out there? There's some great ones! Wish we had seen the 3 of them on screen.

Yay River Doctor adventures and Jenny (thought you meant Victorian Jenny initially)! Love that River chooses him (of course) and the bit about the bowties :)

[eblackwell]

Thank you!!! I appreciate that!

This was an absolute delight!

(I have to say, I don't think the Clara!canon supersedes the Gaiman!canon. My understanding was that the Doctor *could* steal the TARDIS because she was unlocked--which she did herself, so he'd do that. Clara just pointed him toward the right one!)

[eblackwell]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I thought that Clara fit with Gaiman's story too at first and then I checked "The Doctor's Wife" when I was writing this. It clearly states that the Doctor was testing doors and the only reason he picked her is because she unlocked her door. She was watching him try other ships and decided he was the one Time Lord mad enough to go with her to see the universe.

So Clara definitely conflicts with that, because Moffat had the Doctor about to steal another TT capsule (no problem with locked doors) and Clara tells him to take the other one. It definitely is two conflicting stories. So I chose to use the Tardis picking the Doctor as he fumbled with locked doors (he really is a beautiful idiot; went to steal a time ship with no way to get into one!).

Hm...I may still just choose to believe they were working in tandem! The TARDIS can communicate with select individuals (River, "the pretty one," etc.) after all...

Oh, I loved this! Utterly beautiful and filled with such joy. This left me with a huge smile on my face - thank you! :D I second the calls for a sequel.

(Also: fitting icon is more perfectly fitting than it's ever been before. :P)

[eblackwell]

Your icon is perfectly fitting! And I'm so glad you liked the story!!

Very nice description in the opening paragraph, and I loved the way you re-used Gallifreyans coming first, and depicted the Doctor dancing wildly! That was just thrilling to imagine. I giggled at the Tarzan yell. The descriptions of the Chochirs were hilarious as well… And "too much skeletal structure" indeed, HA! But I loved River's reply with the parallel to the TARDIS, and the way he paused and glowed at that :D Amazing.

The Chochir Quon’sog welcomed them back with cheers that sounded like giant moles hurrahing with their mouths shut. “And I should know, River,” the Doctor had explained. “I’ve been to Cajrhx Three and heard the giant moles doing just that.”
Their hosts watched in fascination as the Doctor flailed like a native with the added exoticness of joints in his lower body, because while the Chochir had no skeleton in the upper half, they were nothing but unbending bone in the bottom torso and legs. They watched the Doctor use hips, knees, and ankles to give their dance his own flair.I. Can't. Even

[eblackwell]

I can't... wow. I can't thank you enough for this!! I am stunned by your comments and so happy that I just travel on a happy cloud whenever I think about what you said!

[flowsoffire]

^_^ Well, I'm happy I made you happy… ;)
