✨Ten/Rose Fic List - Part 2✨
For those of you who enjoyed part 1 (i.e. just me going back to the post and admiring my taste in fine literature), here is Part 2. ICYMI, my credentials:
I am incredibly particular about characterizations and dialogue so if I recommend a fic it is guaranteed to be delicious
I read Ten/Rose fanfic for at least 3 hours a day 7 days a week. If any of y’all are my friends/family/employer, no I don’t… (but I do 👉👈)
If you read and enjoy these fics too please leave a comment or message me because there is no SSRI known to man that hits like being a part of the 2013 tumblr fandom community.
More Than Breathing - fried_flamingo (19 chapters; I couldn’t figure out the word count)
Holy actual shitting piss. This is so well written. If I had found this fic as a WIP I would have crashed out because every chapter leaves you fucking HANGING. Petition to make this an episode immediately ✍️
Definitely Real - @tenscupcake (3.3k words) 🫦
After the Wire, the Doctor and Rose fall asleep together on the couch. The perfect amount of sleepy (yet masterfully not sappy) dialogue with humorous internal monologue. Now, say it with me folks: Spooning ALWAYS leads to forking. Even though they don’t technically fuck per se I’d still label this PWP.
Counting Down - @rudennotgingr (80k words) 🫦
It’s just like an advent calendar but instead of chocolate it’s unresolved sexual tension. I almost stopped reading at chapter 23 because the forbidden “B” word made an unwelcome guest appearance, but the horrors persist and so do I.
Just the Bits Inbetween - @loupettes (130k words) 🫦
Ok yes 130k words is a bit of a commitment for any of you Sagittarius queens out there but let me tempt you with: A SLOW BURN?! MISSING SCENES THAT FEEL CANON?! WITTY DIALOGUE AND FLIRTY BANTER?! Well slap my ass and call me Shirley, I’m convinced.
In Orbit Around You - keep_counting (8k words)
Rose comes back before Journey’s End so there’s less kerfuffle HOWEVER it’s a much slower burn than it needs to be because the Doctor likes to feel pain I guess? All men need therapy istg 🙄
Better Man - sinecure (1k words)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: every story by sinecure SLAPS. I was going to sue for damages because I’m certain that setting my own asshole on fire would hurt me less than the final line of dialogue in this fic, but luckily there’s a part two - Better Woman
Ordinary Gifts - @thirdeyeblue (15k words) 🫦
This was the first ever “sex pollen” fic I read so obviously every other fic of this trope I read after was not even nearly as good. While I have no concrete proof I am so sure Katie is writing smut for the girls because I mean COME ON NOW 🥵
Let’s Make Out - @theladysiubhan (11k words - not quite smut, maybe teen?)
Tell me how this absolute icon of an author can make me hehe haha in the first few chapters to triggering a doom spiral from the impending angst of the ending? Charisma. Uniqueness. Nerve. TALENT. I’m such a fan of her work (derogatory) but she’s also responsible for 90% of my tears (endearing).
The Horizon Hides You in Vain - @elialys (16k words) 🫦
Ah, the artistry that is “The Doctor breaks the laws of time for a root”. While all fics of this trope have an under (and over) tone of deeply agonizing heartbreak, this one had me feeling like I physically swallowed a marble. Ouchy porn? Is that a thing? Rule 34 I guess.
Multi-Tasking - fayth (1k words)
Pure, easy-to-read, fluff. The Doctor wasn’t listening so Rose does a funny. I have 100% pulled this move as a piece of shit 10 year old when my mum was ignoring me because her friends were over (which, in hindsight, valid).
Stay tuned for Part 3 etc.
