Giac,

You said you were my willing slave. Prove it.
Enclosed is a little something I'd like you to have.

Wear it. For me. Then meet me outside Miss Gate's house tonight.
I'm going on a trip, and you are coming with me.

I trust I'll see you there.

Reinette.

My dearest angel,

I love you with all my heart. But I've been through a lot these past few weeks, and I could really do with a rest.
Pfred has agreed to take Giac and me to Versailles for a holiday.
There are no white horses or unicorns involved, I promise. I'm not leaving you and we're not getting married or anything like that.
We're just going to fuck talk, I need to relax and unwind for a few days.

Please do three things for me while I'm away.

Talk to Rose, I think she feels a bit neglected. I don't like to see her sad, and I think she's been feeling a bit lonely lately.
She loves you so much, let her know you love her too, for me, OK?

Talk to your daughter. She needs you. I'm taking Giac away, so it should be the perfect opportunity for you to bond with her.
Do something together, before you know it she'll be grown up and it will be too late. I don't want you to miss out on her life.

Look after Fred and Penny. And don't put them down for doing things with their minds. They're two extremely special and gifted girls.
Read them some more Newton, they like that. And tell them mummy loves them very much.

I love you so much, my darling, and I promise I will return before you've even missed me.

All my love,

Your loving wife,

Reinette.

Dear Pfred,

Thank you so much for taking me and your uncle Giac to Versailles in your TARDIS. We'll see you outside the house tonight.

Talk to your dad while we're gone, please? He feels a bit left out of your life.
He loves you, he just has a hard time showing it.
That's not your fault, don't worry, he has that problem with everyone.
I should know, he has a hard time showing me, and I'm his wife ;)

Have good time while we're away, OK?

Lots of love,

Auntie Reinette.

-----

Rosey,

You seem a bit sad lately, and I don't like to see you that way.

Giac and I are going to get out of your hair for a while, maybe you can spend some time with the Doctor. I know he misses you.
Give Fred and Penny a big kiss from me every night before they go to sleep, OK?

We'll send a postcard.

Love you,

Reinette.

-----

David,

You've been such a good friend and I've had a lovely time getting to know you. I hope we'll be able to see more of each other very soon.
I'm going on a much needed holiday for a couple of days, and I have a favour to ask:

The Doctor and Rose are looking after our children, but if you have a spare moment, could you check up on them?
They really seem to like you. And I'd trust you with their lives. I know it's a lot to ask, but I'd really appreciate it.

I'll see you when I get back,

Love,

Reinette.

Most esteemed Madame:

I have learned that you are planning to take the Chevalier de Seingalt on a journey.

While I am overjoyed that you have at last professed your mutual love, I fear greatly that such a trip would prove dangerous to his health. He would not have you know this for the world (and I suspect he is not completely aware of the seriousness of his injury), but your exertions of last night agitated his wound and set back his healing considerably. If he persists in such activity I fear the damage may be permanently debilitating or fatal.

I know he would refuse you nothing, even at the risk of his own life. If you must persist in this I beg of you to let the journey be easy, and that you allow him to rest and heal, and make no taxing demands upon him, much as you both may wish to.

Though I freely admit I love him dearly, I do not say this out of jealousy, but from a sincere desire for his safety, for the love you share and the happiness I wish for you both.

I am, in this and all things, your faithful and willing servant,

Bellino

*squeezes your hand gratefully*

[teresa_lanti]

...I was torn, Pfred. On one hand, his happiness is paramount to me, and it breaks my heart to interfere when circumstances have separated them for so long (God knows I know how that feels and God knows I like a good domination scene as much as the next girl); on the other, he has little regard for his own health and safety, and it's just far too soon.

I hope I did well to interfere.

[pfred.livejournal.com]

i think...i don't think he quite realises what it means to be real now. he's never had to worry about taking care of himself and he's probably never even gotten sick before, but now that he's not fictional anymore there are a million things that could hurt him and he just has no clue.

*frets*

[teresa_lanti]

Oh no, he was sick and injured many times when he was fictional; it's got nothing to do with that. He's just impossibly reckless and impulsive.

Not to worry, though.

That's why I was sent here.

*squeezes your hand again, feels a little better*

maybe instead of a bondage collar, auntie reinette should get him one of those halter-leashes they use for hyper toddlers?

[teresa_lanti]

*laughs herself sick*

*quite looking forward to the domination scene as well, but not with the spectral worry of internal bleeding hampering my enjoyment of it*

[off_coloratura]

Amen to that, sister.

Madame,

While I appreciate your concern for my beloved's wellbeing, please, let me assure you that it would break my heart to let him come to even the slightest of harm. I will take the very best care of him.

Kindest regards,

Madame de Pompadour.

Reinette,

I'd be happy to keep an eye on the kids. I'm starting to like them as much as they like me.

Have fun. Relax. Enjoy your holiday. You deserve it.

With love,
David.
