Fic Update

I just sent ch. 2 of The Prettiest Rose on Prometheus off to Amy to beta.  She's out tonight though so it may be morning before I get it back.  It slid a bit into angst but it's mostly fluffy still.  And it ends on a fluffy note.  And the third chapter will have no angst at all, I hope.  I can never guarantee it, sometimes it sneaks in there.

Sneak peak:

 

The silence that followed was bordering on awkward when Rose said, “You clean up nice, Doctor.” She closed the distance between them and reached for his tie, straightening the knot and then smoothing it down the length of his chest. “I’d even go so far as to say impressive.”

 

“I’m always impressive,” he retorts without any vehemence.

 

“Yes,” she admitted shyly, “you are. And—and handsome, too.”

 

“What? This old mug?” he asked self-deprecatingly.

 

He felt Rose’s hand cradle his jaw and met her eyes briefly before skittering his away from the emotion there. “Yeah,” she said.
