AHHH! Fic, I stab at thee!!

Rose? You are a confusing person at times. Especially during S1. With Mickey. Not with Mickey. Kinda likes the Doctor. "Available." Highly flirtatious with the Doctor. Back with Mickey but runs after the Doctor. Not with Mickey.

No wonder the Doctor was a mess about it all during S1. *cough*BoomTown*cough*

The Mickey string-along was I think one of Rose's bigger flaws, and one I have a really hard time getting my head into. I mean, I do completely get it from a meta-type standpoint, but trying to figure out the internal narrative for fic purposes that goes along with it? ACK.

Maybe I should just switch the POV to Nine, and he and I can both be confused.

ETA: This is all because of a few lines in a FLUFF fic. Yes, I am exactly that neurotic.

Yeah, I completely agree. She kinda has this notion for a while that life *is* on hold for her until she gets back. And where I think that finally turns for her is in TPotW. And by AoG, I really get the vibe of Rose (and the Doctor) going for a *visit* to Jackie. She's there to throw her laundry at her mother and catch up, but it's not really her getting back to her old life. I really think by that point she was thinking of the TARDIS life *as* her life.
