my fave pete’s world headcanon is the doctor and his kids literally racing each other to get to rose to tell her their side of the story (because there’s always a story happening when him and the kids are together):
*barging through the door*
kids: MUM!!!!!! DAD ALMOST KILLED US!!!!
doctor: ROSE, DON’T LISTEN TO THEM THEY’RE LYING!!!!
rose, barely awake: wha?
Remembering his first Christmas with Rose, Tentoo smiled, “This is going to be fantastic”

My opinion
Introduction:
I’ve known since the first chapter that I would rec this fic. It has been completed this week so this Sunday is all about Nine/Rose again. Most of you know the love chiaroscuroverse and fleurdeneuf have for Nine and for the Nine/Rose ship, so you must also know this fic is a masterpiece.
About the story:
The prompts given to us by the different teams on Tumblr are the opportunity to write some interesting things we maybe wouldn’t have thought of on our own. This starts a bit like Hypnagogic Panic, but it’s far from being the same. We have Rose and Jack in a club, Rose being friendly and running into troubles with some alien trying to influence her, to make her develop a sexual attraction for him, but it appears to be inefficient. At least, for the insisting Londred.
Everything gets complicated when they get back to the TARDIS. Rose hasn’t been affected by whatever Londred did to her because she wasn’t interested in him at all. But the little trick is acting… with a little delay. On the real person Rose is interested in. And if she clearly knows about her feelings for her dear Doctor, she also knows that it might not be mutual. So, she chooses the best way out she can find: she runs away from the Doctor and keeps him away from her.
But the situation is unbearable for the poor Rose who can’t deal with the intense and painful arousal she is experiencing, the desperate craving of touching the Doctor and make love to him. The tension quickly climbs through the words of the two authors and we feel as desperate as Rose who can’t control herself and we can’t wait for the Doctor to come and fix the situation. After he pays a friendly visit to Londred. Rose is vulnerable and can’t find any relief, the Doctor feels guilty for not being there to protect his precious human.
If Rose is vulnerable, we get to see a complete powerless, naked, exposed Doctor. And it’s beautiful. The usually tough guy hiding behind his shell is letting down all his walls and defences and shows himself the way he really is underneath all of it. The two authors totally reach the peak of their talent to magnificently offer us a sight of the Doctor we have never seen. It’s outstanding, and we sink into his raw soul with no way back. And good thing: we don’t want our sinking to end. But all good things have a end unfortunately.
In conclusion:
If Looking Glass reveals the sexual hunger Rose is experiencing for the Doctor, if the smut fills most of the chapters, this is not the most important in this fiction. Besides the sexual tension and obvious sex scenes, this is the way the characters strip to show what they really feel and how they truly are. They are naked, and not only physically. It’s well-written, it’s wonderful, and we can only want more. The raw souls of the Doctor and Rose create a beautiful mix we can never get tired of. @chiaroscuroverse & @fleurdeneuf: Thank you for this amazing masterpiece.

(me right now)
Based on this prompt from @timepetalsprompts, submitted by @badwolfxoncomingstorm: Headcanon: All future Doctors crop up in Rose’s life at some point. Some bow tied bloke helps her with groceries after work. A gruff silver haired gentleman pays for her chips when she forgets her wallet. A pretty blonde woman walks her home after some creepy bloke makes unwanted advances towards her in the street.
The first time Rose Tyler had an encounter with a helpful stranger, it was the summer of 2004, and she was six months out of a toxic relationship with Jimmy Stone. She was back in her Mum’s flat, which was really many steps up from the squalor in which she and Jimmy had resided. She had a job at Henrik’s to pay off the debt incurred by her ex, and she was mired in day to day living. Get up, go to work, beans on toast, Eastenders with Mum and Mo. Perhaps she’d go out with Keisha and Shareen but she really had no taste for clubbing and pub crawls any more. That was how she had met Jimmy.
