Rec: Ivory and Horn

[kerravonsen]

Story: Ivory and Horn
Author: LJC
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 11074
Author's Summary: A quiet walk across the ice fields of Kos turns into more than either the Doctor or Rose planned for.
Characters/Pairings: 9th Doctor/Rose, Jackie, Mickey
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is the first story that persuaded me (at least for the duration of the story) that Nine/Rose was actually possible. Which is impressive, considering that I tend to friendship them rather than 'shipping them. But the characters feel right, and it dances on the edge of whether or not this is a friendship or a 'ship, which is not an easy thing to do. That isn't all there is to this story, either; we have arguments, angst and illumination. The dreamworlds of each of them were insightfully built, and worth chewing over.

It's quite possible I read stuff before it, but this is the first one I remember reading, and it did influence my thinkings of New Who, yo.
