Somewhere Different Now

Last night, I pulled an all-nighter for Sherlock. There was a big contra dance festival this weekend that I wasn't going to miss (though I managed to forget it was coming this weekend until Thursday because my anticipation was so focused on Reichenbach).  I wasn't sure if I'd have time to acquire and watch the episode before I had to leave for the dance, and even if I had time I didn't want to be an emotional wreck when trying to dance.  Afterwards, I had volunteered to stay and clean up.  I didn't leave until after midnight.  Add in a 50 minute drive home and the time to acquire the episode and I didn't start watching until maybe 1:30 am. 

Of course I wasn't able to go to bed after watching that, not until I had read lots of LJ and tumblr posts to try to deal with all the emotions.  By the time I was ready to sleep, it was after 6 am and the sky was getting light in the east-facing window.  Thank goodness it's a three day weekend here in the US, so I could sleep for a few hours and not have to work.  That scheduling was very considerate of the BBC.

NO REGRETS.

I have thoughts about the episode!  Lo, they are spoilery. 


( SPOILERS for Sherlock 2x03 )

This chapter is what happens when I get my characters extremely upset with each other and then need some way to defuse the tension.

Title: What country, friends, is this?
Author: tardis_stowaway
Rating: PG for a bit of language
Spoilers: Through Doomsday
Disclaimer: Doctor Who and all its characters belong to the BBC, not me. Alas!
Story Summary: Post-Doomsday, Rose still runs for her life. One night she runs into someone she never expected to see again. Problem #1: It's hard to have a blissful reunion with someone who has never met you. Problem #2: A Nine from the universe where Rose Tyler was never born is bound to have some unresolved issues.
Chapter Notes: In which something is revealed, lots of chocolate fails to prevent the exchange of harsh words, and the situation gets sticky.

When reading the chapter title, focus on 'secret' rather than 'maidenhead.' Minds out of the gutter, folks.
