Ah, a wonderful chapter. It was definitely worth the wait. I like how you worked the telescope into the story. The discussion on the word 'obey' in their vows was priceless. Even at this early stage of their relationship, the Doctor obviously has a great deal of respect for Rose.

Their love making was so tender and careful. The Doctor really cares about Rose's feelings and her comfort. That was not always the way in this era. It is obvious that there is an awful lot of love for each other just ready to burst out. I liked this part the best as it shows just how deeply the Doctor has fallen in love with Rose:
He thinks he could easily spend the rest of his life caught up in her like this and would happily devote himself to exploring every inch of her the way he has spent his life learning the world. She is his world now after all though the sentiment is a bit too cliché for his taste.

Thank you for another great chapter!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked that part. As much as Nine complains sometimes when Rose doesn't listen and wanders off on the show I still feel like he'd definitely take issues with that sort of idea. There is definitely an important difference "You need to listen to what I say because I know better" and "You need to listen to me because I am your husband and therefore in charge of everything." xD

That seemed like the best angle to go with for what had the potential to be disastrously awkward or painful or just generally really bad Victorian wedding night sex. That was a lot of the reason why it took me so long to write this.

Interestingly the telescope, the obey part, and that section you quoted are the only things that were in every draft of this chapter so I'm glad you liked all of them. :)

I like how you have brought the Doctor's respect into his character in this AU even though he is a Victorian male. It is an important part of who the Doctor and Rose are.

I was wondering how you were going to get through the minefield which is their first time together. It could have been horrible and tainted the future of their physical relationship as Rose is obviously a virgin in this AU and you did a very good job having the Doctor talk to her through it all.

Yeah I felt like keeping that dynamic of their relationship was absolutely essential even if it wouldn't have been common in that era. I am actually in the process of writing down a list of things about the Doctor and also Jack's past that will start to come into play now that they've all gotten past the initial awkwardness. I am quite excited about it.

Having their first time work out well was something absolutely essential to how their relationship proceeds so even though I was struggling with writing it I knew I would be annoyed with myself if I tried to just gloss over it and claim it went well.

I'm so glad you're back! For a while there I thought you might have given up on this story. So the Doctor and Rose finally consummated. Can't wait to see where you go with this. :)

[xsilverxlightx]

I have not given up! I'm sorry it took so long. I'm going to do my best to get back to regularly updating now.

[summermagic22]

Update when you're able. Real life has a way of keeping us all busy so I understand. ;) Glad you haven't given up!

[xsilverxlightx]

I expect I'll be updating tomorrow once I get done with classes for the day. And I have no intention of giving this up until I've finished, which won't happen for some time as I have far too many ideas and they keep growing. :)

Just found this story and read it all in one go. All I can say is WOW, it's ace. Loving the way that you're integrating all the cannon characters into it. And the passion/tension between the Doctor/Rose just leaps of the page, very well done on the eloping part. Wonderful writing. Looking forward to more. I hope you don't mind me adding you as a friend so I can keep up with your fics?

[xsilverxlightx]

Thank you so much! I am really glad that you are enjoying it. Comments like this make me very happy. :)
Of course you can add me. I don't mind at all.

I'm glad I was able to ignore the lambskin condom enough to enjoy this chapter 'cause *LOVE*. From beginning where he has his hand on her knee and you mention the telescope to where he wants to take her against the wall (*GUH* at mental image) to him making sure she gets as much pleasure as he does. This was a beautiful chapter. But now I also see why you were traumatized by your birth control research. Lambskin... Don't even want to think about implications there.

I've been wanting to read this fic since you posted the first chapter; now I'm glad you did!

Also, I think you mentioned somewhere about this being inspired by a prompt?

Can't wait for more!

[xsilverxlightx]

That was honestly the least unpleasant of the options for Victorian birth control. Most of them were a lot worse and sounded painful or at best horrendously uncomfortable. Basically any further chapters that involve sex scenes will just have a vague reference to the fact that they are still avoiding having a kid and that will be it because it is really not something I want to think about any more than strictly necessary.

Thank you! Getting all of your comments has totally made my night better.

It was inspired by a prompt, which was just Nine/Rose Victorian au and that just triggered all sorts of ideas. The part I wrote specifically for that fic fest is set a year into their marriage so it will be a while until I get to that but time is going to start passing more quickly now that I have everything set up for them to start adventuring properly.

I've been reading this story for a while, but I'm such a failure at reviewing, sorry! I'm going to keep it short because I'm typing this on my phone, but I just wanted to let you know that I love this story and I'm glad you'll be continuing it! Thanks for sharing your writing!

[xsilverxlightx]

That's alright. Thank you so much! I really love to hear that people are enjoying my stories. I've not been having the best night and this cheered me up. :)
