Fic, Innocence, Ch. 3/12: "After Burn"

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's Note:

"It's not what you think. I would never do that to either of them, though I'm going to push a few buttons (and some boundaries.) Like I said, I'd already fallen for Ten during "The Lady in the Fireplace", and I definitely fell for Martha during this story. (You'll see why in another chapter or two.) Oh! And FWIW, this takes place almost directly after "Gridlock" in S3.

"More than anything, I want Martha to realize what Ten sees in her, because -- for me at least -- that sense of self worth far outweighed the temporary high of any meaningless shag."
