Why this must be read:
This was a spoiler fic written before the S2/28 episode The Girl in the Fireplace was transmitted, but it can still hold its own. Our authors tried (and succeeded) to portray just how screwed up a relationship between a Time Lord and a courtesan can be. One thing though, pay attention to the section titles, and all will be clear.
When the inviting smirk to her smile becomes more noticeable, he suspects that his future involves beating a certain crowned head to the chambers of the very-previously-married-Madame de Pompadour. Perhaps it is this introspective speculation which causes him to interview the minute details of her figure more closely; it is entirely the fault of his devoted inspection that puts a bit of swagger in his voice when he speaks next.
"Knight takes queen," he says, and she smiles and says that yes, he does. The details she weaves into her next comment are worryingly personal in a way that robs her joke of its levity. In less than six words, she seals his fate and cements the fact that they will have been intimate at some point he has yet to encounter.
Her foot finds his calf and starts to work its way upwards. Knees knocking the table, he stands and spills half the board across the carpeted floor.
"Madame de Pompadour, are you trying to seduce me?"
