I'll stick with Nine/Rose where I can, but there will be some Ten/Rose references.
When or if I started shipping it As I always say "I could save the world but lose you." By that point the Doctor was already a goner, that was just the moment he managed to pull me down to.
My thoughts I thought Nine/Rose was pretty much perfect as the beginning of their relationship. It was about falling in love, which allowed season 2 to be about them being in love. And I do fully believe we would have gotten that story if the Doctor had still been Nine rather than Ten. Maybe not all the same stories in it, but after a season of the beginning of their relationship the next season would obviously be about the continuance of it.
But when it comes to the Nine/Rose vs Ten/Rose debate I have to say, I really don't separate the relationships, I ship *Doctor*/Rose, not a specific version of it (my issues with JE being a separate debate). The main difference for me was just the phase of their relationship, which I was just glad to see continue, because if you want to convince me the Doctor is the Doctor is the Doctor, the way to do it is with his love for Rose.
What makes me happy about them The adorable awkwardness of them falling for each other, their growing partnership and trust, and the hand porn.
What makes me sad about them I would trade Ten/Rose for much of anything, doesn't mean I don't regret the fact that it meant we only got one season of Nine and Nine/Rose. I still sob like a baby at PotW, because its just heartbreaking.
Things done in fanfic that annoy me Treating Ten like hes stealing Nine's girl. SAME GUY PEOPLE. (this is somewhere between a comment on Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose)
Things I look for in fanfic Obviously well written and in character. But mainly when it comes to Nine/Rose I look for stuff that fits with canon rather than AUs where Nine survived the Game Station or anything, I loved their story for what it was, I don't really get into fic that messes with that.
My kinks You know, I don't have a ton of specific kinks for this ship. Just them being totally about each other is enough for me.
Who I’d be comfortable with them ending up with, if not each other Well there's Jack for either (or both) of them. Then Ten/Rose if you insist on separating the ships. When only considering the season 1 timeframe I wouldn't have really had a problem with Rose/Mickey. But it's really hard to imagine Nine without Rose since we never knew him without her, even with all the outside the ship flirting, it's hard to see him really wanting anyone but her.
My happily ever after for them Pretty much season 2 without Doomsday. It could have been Nine or Ten, but them being happy and together traveling time and space always with each other's hand to hold.
Who is the big spoon/little spoon Rose is totally the big spoon. Mostly of the time, sometimes the Doctor likes to be the big spoon, but mostly he just likes her cuddling up with him.
What is their favorite non-sexual activity Traveling the universe? Saving it? Doing anything and everything as long as it's together.
