Fic, Innocence, Ch. 2/12: "After Thought"

Story: Innocence
Author: Love! Slash! Angst! loveslashangst
Characters: Ten, Martha Jones, Rose Tyler (implied)
Rated: R for some EXTREMELY suggestive banter and at least one scene that's not ready for primetime, though this is not -- strictly speaking -- a Ten/Martha fic
Disclaimer: I don't own 'em, because if I did, there might be real science in Dr. Who instead of just the usual pseudo-science. (ophymirage adds: But Stephen Moffatt's welcome to steal the Universal Model Map any time. Because I want to see that on screen, dammit...)
Spoilers: AU, Sequel (kinda) to The Lady in the Fireplace.
Summary: Ten makes a decent proposal. Martha takes him up on it. Hilarity and adult-themed hijinks ensue. Not exactly a Martha/Ten, but more my love letter to her, hoping she finds what she's REALLY looking for.

Author & Beta's Note:
Apologies are owed to you, the fen;
The posting's due, we know, of Ecstasy.
'Oblivion' is coming; as to when,
Another day or so, or so say we.

The fault is mine; I sent her to go see
A rock-and-trad band that's Canadian,
Thus makes it to the Left Coast only rarely
(They'd played in SF Thursday, so I'd been.)

'Twixt that and work, our lives were occupied,
And so no drafts, though plot was much discussed;
Our Sunday posting schedule is a bust,
On Wednesday, though, the chapter count is plus'ed -
And meantime, behind "Innocence" we'll hide!

[makes complicated gesture of throwing something to hungry wolves]
