I love the infinite loop, and I love Nine's reactions - his smile fading until he could gauge Rose's reaction ... his flush.

She paused, slightly mystified for a brief moment, then raised an eyebrow. "So, Doctor … the frowny face can become a smiley face?"

He nodded, his smile widening. "Now you’re getting it!"

"Explains quite a lot, that does," she said, glancing up at him with a chuckle.

:D

Ah yes - the flush!! >.^

((hugs)) glad you liked it! =D

I wish I'd had Nine as a maths tutor in school :P the square root of smiley faces sounds SO much more fun than all the rubbish I had to do back then!

So many gorgeous moments in this. I love how rough Nine is, but how willing he is to teach, to help Rose to understand. He's almost gentle here, just beginning to soften and it's so lovely to see it. And you can really sense the presence of him and her, so close, like it's something tangible.

So, so lovely and thank you so much for filling the prompt! It's beautiful.

Thank you very much - I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for providing the prompt =D I definitely wanted the fic to take place at a moment in time where they were juuust starting to break those boundaries just a little bit. Glad that came across!

And yes I agree, square root of smiley faces is much happier than square root of some of the stuff I remember doing x.X

Oh, I love this! Even as somebody (especially as somebody) who can't do math to save my own life... LOL :) This was very, very sweet.

[strange_charmed]

Aww thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D

Can't believe I'm reading a story about math and loving it. That takes true brilliance. :D I love the way you write Nine.

[strange_charmed]

Thank you so much ((blushes!!)) I'm happy you enjoyed it! =D

This fic is so gorgeous with it's moment in time simplicity filled with so much emotion between Nine and Rose. I love the easy going sweet feel of the story and the concept of the infinite loop, both literally and conceptually, as art.

She had a suspicion the drawing would be of her, and she wasn’t mistaken. It was her - and him - positioned exactly as they had been a moment ago. In the sketch, she was smiling brightly, her head nestled into his shoulder, and her arm was snugly fit through his arm, as if drawing him closer. In turn, the picture showed him smiling back at her, with that look in his eyes that made her feel like she could do no wrong. In front of them lay a sketch of the notebook, inside of which was a smaller version of the two of them, and a smaller notebook, and so on ...

Beautiful!

Thank you very much! That's what I was trying to get across - I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D
