But Broken Lights by Rosa_acicularis (PG-13)
Is everyone excited for tonight's premiere? If you need something to occupy you in the meantime, might I recommend a story?
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairing: Ten/Rose

Why this must be read: It seems that if you ask D/R shippers to rec a story, they all pick this one. And they have good reason. This is a fairly long story, 11 parts, but you'll barely notice the time pass. What the author manages to do is write a really engrossing plot, setting, and story, and interweave the romance gracefully. In other words, this feels very close to what it would be like if S2 had happened a little differently and the show had shown the beginnings of a romantic relationship between Ten and Rose. I also like that things are not too easy for these two. This isn't fluff. It is both heartbreaking and hilarious. As Ten/Rose should be.
Excerpt: “You licked my hair!”
“Yes, and you should really lay off that conditioner. All wrong for your hair type.”
“You licked my hair!”
“I know. I was there.” He grimaced. “Unfortunate rhyme, that. Neither subtle nor particularly witty. Ah well,” he finished cheerily.
