I love Eleven and River's flirting. It's just so... deliciously flirty! (Matt and Alex could flirt with like, a cactus, I swear. Lol)
Mmmmmm. 100%

I think it will be fine! I did wonder why they felt that necessary to put in the show, though...
It's Hell, there are horrible things and most people are afraid of spiders. (SOME people are not. Like my mother. Who thinks they are cute. Yes, my mother is very strange.)

But it's really really hard to write fic with them. :)
Just make them flirt and not talk about where they are in their timeline. ^_^

[annabeth_roses]

<3 I love that about them. :)

Your mother IS strange...

Somehow the timey-wimeyness always sneaks in! (Though I just--within the last two minutes--had the urge to write filthy Eleven slash. With Ten, probably...)

[elisi]

My grandmother was *terrified* of spiders, and if she saw one would jump on a chair and scream until someone came to get rid of it. Clearly phobias jump generations, because I relate to that. :)

[annabeth_roses]

When I was younger I made my dad kill them all. :) Alas, now I live by myself and I must kill my own spiders...

At least I've gotten relatively good at that--because I'd rather they be gone!

[elisi]

I hear ya. (I am very fortunate to have a husband. He is not scared of spiders and thinks it's funny when I scream.)

[annabeth_roses]

Speaking of, do you happen to remember if there are any in the Halloween Apocalypse? (Halloween is probably understandably my least favorite holiday.) That's the next episode I need to watch.

[elisi]

Halloween Apocalypse?? Which show?

[annabeth_roses]

Omg, I'm sorry. Doctor Who season 13, I think? Jodie's last season before the specials.

[elisi]

Oooh. Flux. I fully forgot that those episodes had titles. Um. I can't remember, sorry. If so, they aren't... big or obvious.

[annabeth_roses]

Yeah, I guess I didn't realize they had titles either until I put in the DVD. :) Thank you for trying to remember though! <3

[elisi]

I did know, but man, Thirteen's era is like teflon, very little has stuck with me. But Flux is rather good... Here, let me grab something from my final review:

[annabeth_roses]

Fwiw, I really love Thirteen. I don't really love a lot of the new lore (though I'm interested to see if my opinion changes at all once I've read your Timeless Child meta) but I adore Jodie, and I like how she's bubbly and ridiculous and funny because it reminds me of Eleven. :)

[elisi]

Thirteen is DELIGHTFUL. Like A++++ casting. The stories/era just didn't grab me. The meta was non-existent.

But I know many people love her, and her era, and that is lovely.

[annabeth_roses]

I watched the first Flux episode last night though and HOLY CRAP. I need to watch the rest of it really soon!

(Side note: have you seen The Neverending Story? Because the Flux reminds me of the Nothing...)

LOL. *points to horse drawing* You see? ;)

I have not seen it, but I have read the book.
