Recced because: Jenny and Luke is one of those pairings that has to happen and is adorably cute. ann_blue writes both of them superbly in character, and writes Sarah-Jane fantastically. It flows beautifully and the romance between the two is sweet but not OTT. It's beautifully written and definitely worth a read.

“Are you listening to a word I’m saying, Luke?” Jenny asked with a raised eyebrow.

Luke pushed himself up on to his elbows and gave her a meaningful but amused look. “Every single word,” he responded, emphasising each word.

Jenny chuckled, her eyes fluttering shut. She shook her head from side to side.

“I am,” Luke insisted cheerfully, turning to rest his weight on one arm and beaming at her. “I swear I am!”

Her gaze rose to meet his, and she stuck her tongue out at him teasingly.

“I swear I really am listening. It’s just that I was just trying to picture everything you were saying. You are very good at describing all of these amazing places and people and events. I was trying to see if I could envision it in here.” He tapped the side of his head.

“And?” she asked with a mischievous grin. The end of her long blonde ponytail cascaded over her right shoulder, like a golden wave.

“Beautiful!” Luke expressed exuberantly, letting his beaming gaze wash over her slender form. She was beautiful, and amazing, brilliant, funny, and all sorts of things that Luke imagined there were no words for on Earth.
