Thank you :) The Doctorish bits are always my favorite to write. I'm really glad to hear that you liked the convo with Inara, because I absolutely hated writing it, heh.

THANK YOU! I really had a difficult time writing the convo with Inara, so it's nice to hear that you liked it. River is just so awesome, as is Kaylee. I was rewatching some FF the other day and heard Kaylee say "talk at" and KNEW I had to use it ;)

You can't end it there! I need to know what happens next!

I loved this chapter (and the last since I apparently forgot to comment.)

I am so happy that the Doctor and Rose are finally getting there act together. I adored Inara coming to Rose for advise :)

[shan21non]

Thank you! The Doctor and Rose never quite got there on the show, so I'm trying to remedy that :)

Of course it was worth the wait! Poor Doctor and Rose can't catch a break on the warm fuzzy cuddle time. LOVED the sleepy Doctor comments and the conversation with Inara was brilliant. River's antics effortlessly defying gravity are also really cool and well described.

Yay! Glad to hear it. I loved describing River's movements, and writing sleep!Doctor dialogue. Next chapter's up!

Very nice! Too bad River was there to prevent any more sexy shenanigans though haha. Loved the Rose/Inara talk. I also liked how you brought up the idea of inequalities in the Doctor and Rose's relationship. IMO they were on a fairly even footing by TIP/TSP, but in a sense he truly was her mentor. OT, but I think that's what makes Pete's World so fun... the role reversal with Rose being the Doctor's guide.

Good luck with the next chapter. School's already kicking my ass so you definitely have my sympathies!

[shan21non]

Oooh. Interesting point about Pete's World. Rose is such a BAMF there. I do think that the Doctor and Rose are more of a partnership than mentor/mentee, but there are definitely some stumbling blocks, particularly Bad Wolf :)
