Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3




"This is ridiculous," Donna grumbled.

"It's called visualization," the Doctor said enthusiastically.

"No, it's called me standing here on one foot like a flippin' idiot, that's what it's called!" She glared at him as her right sole wavered above the grating. Covertly, she shifted so that her left hip could rest against the TARDIS console.

"Balance the body, balance the mind," he said, hopping easily on one Converse, then the other. "Once you're balanced, I'll set the moment in your mind so you can achieve it again."

"Well, how long is this going to take?"

"As long as it takes," he said firmly, experimenting with how high he could raise his foot to the front before he had to windmill his arms to keep from falling over. "And don't think I don't see you leaning there, you cheater."

"Oi! Come over here and say that again, why don't you?" She raised both fists but doubted she was very threatening, standing around like a bloody flamingo as she was. "Heh, this reminds me of that nice purple bloke--"

He snorted, hopping in a circle. "He was hardly nice!"

"He was perfectly nice until you started with the insults. Then I thought he was going to knock you into next week without letting you use the TARDIS!"

"He was looking down your blouse!"

"You told me to distract him, you idiot. That's what he was supposed to be doing!"

"He wasn't just looking, he was about to go... spelunking!" he said, gesturing indignantly. "And I haven't even..." He trailed off and became very interested in balancing on his other foot.

The corners of her lips twitched. "So," she purred. "You might be interested in spelunking a gal who's got one foot in the air, then?"

He met her gaze at that and his expression heated. "Oh yes," he said, approaching with a rather predatory stride. "I'd be very interested in spelunking a girl who has one foot-- or better yet, two -- in the air."

She inhaled sharply as he brushed her hair back over her shoulder, then let his fingers trail down along the column of her neck to her collarbone, his touch feather-light. He drew circles along her skin and every cell in her body felt like it was coming to attention at that sole point of contact, as if something inside of her was stretching, rising...

Balancing.

"There," he said, touching her face. "I've set the memory. Whenever you need to achieve mental balance, just think of this moment. Unfortunately, of course, that means balance will equate with me saying I'd like to spelunk you with your feet in the air."

"Oh, I'd hardly have it any other way," she said, rolling her eyes. "Can I put my foot down now?"

"Since when have you needed to ask before you put your foot down?" he teased and danced away before she could swat his arm. "Yes, you can. Come on, this is just the first part. Let's get comfortable to practice leverage."

He fished in his jacket for his screwdriver and fused the zipper of his brown pinstriped trousers shut, then winked at her. She couldn't help but grin. Any "practice" that required him to take the precaution of fusing his zip shut first had to be more fun than standing around on one foot.



A short time later, she revised that opinion. The setting had seemed promising enough: one of the spare bedrooms with a huge bed easily four times the width and length of any she'd ever seen before. They'd kicked off their shoes and climbed aboard...

...only to sit crosslegged with their eyes closed and their hands chastely on each other's faces while she tried to figure out how to mentally "shove" him. It just wasn't quite the entertainment she'd hoped for.

"You know," she said, cracking an eye open, "somebody promised me spelunking."

He cracked an eye as well. "First things first. No. No, no. You can't try to take my mind on toe-to-toe like that -- not that mind's have toes, though wouldn't that be something if they did? What sort of shoes would minds wear--?"

"Doctor!" She closed her eyes again and gave a mental push at the hazy presence hovering at the edge of her awareness. Her "hands" went through him like smoke, unable to find purchase.

"Donna..."

"I know. I'm doing it wrong. I don't need you to tell me that!" She dropped her hands and leaned back, frustrated. "I'm just a... a... A right dumb blonde!"

Shock rippled through her mind and she felt his mental presence roll back like the ocean receding from the shoreline.

"You're really a blonde?" he asked in a hushed tone. Then he grinned like a kid on Christmas morning. "Donna! You did it!"

"I did wha-AH?!?" The last part of her word was lost as he vaulted at her like an enthusiastic Golden Retriever, knocking her onto her back. Then he wrapped his arms around her and rolled them over a few times, finally ending up with her on top of him in a tangle of limbs.

"You took me off-guard," he said beaming up at her. "Words are your weapon, of course! Well, words and a mean right-cross, but words more than anything!"

She struggled to follow his logic. "So all I have to do is tell you I'm a dumb blonde when the bond opens and that's it?"

"Yes! Well, it won't work for you to tell me the same thing, I'll be expecting it. You'll have to tell me something new."

"Like--"

"Tssss! Don't waste it, save it for when it counts! But, and here's the tricky part, you have to balance and use that leverage at the exact moment when the bond opens fully."

"Yeah," she agreed, realizing that she'd gotten stuck with his legs on either side of hers and that just wasn't quite working for her nethers. Curse this bond for going in both directions! Now I'm as prone to be randy as he is!

She took a moment to reverse positions so that she was straddling him and... Ah, yes, that was quite better. And he was much more interesting in spelunking than he'd been trying to let on.

He ground against her and they both made appreciative noises. "Here's the thing," he went on breathlessly. "The bond will open fully at the culmination of the mating act -- mating bond, after all -- and so that means you have to mentally balance and then apply your leverage right as we--"

She swore under her breath. "How am I supposed to be able to juggle all of that? I'll be a bit busy at the time, won't I?"

He leered charmingly and rolled them so that he was on top. "Well, it seems to me that we need to practice then, don't we?"

She returned his leer with one of her own. "What did you have in mind?"

"Let me show you," he said, skimming down her body and pushing up her blouse enough to press a friendly kiss to her stomach. Then he paused with his hands at her waistband, looking at her questioningly.

"What? You need an engraved invitation?" she said, feigning a stern tone to cover the flutter of nervousness that went through her. Bit late for that, she thought pragmatically and told him, "We're rather all-in by this point, aren't we?"

"All-in," he agreed and she lifted her hips enough for him to slide her trousers off and toss them aside. He sat back and shed his jacket, tie and shirt in quick order, then returned to divest her of her pale pink cotton knickers.

"What?" she asked as his lips curved in a small, crooked smile.

"Knew you weren't a blonde," he murmured. "What even made you say that?"

"Just popped in my head. Now, hush," she said and he made himself comfortable, stretching out between her legs. "Just so we're clear," she added and he gave her a slightly apprehensive look. "This isn't aural with an 'au,' right? 'Cause I'd hate to get my hopes up."

He grinned. "I think it's safe to say we've progressed to 'o' by this point. Now, right before you, you know, get to the good part, mentally balance then tell me you're a blonde. That'll stand-in for whatever you'll really tell me when the bond expands, hm?"

"This still seems rather dodgy..." She trailed off as he set to work. Ahhhh, I knew that oral fixation of his would come in handy one day, she thought, luxuriating under his ministrations.

A short while later, she thought, Left. To the left, left! and to her surprise, he swirled his tongue exactly where she'd silently urged.

"Are you reading my mind?" she demanded.

Er... A little? his voice said in her head.

"Since when?" she asked sharply and he pulled back.

"My people are telepaths, Donna," he said patiently. "You and I have a bond, we're in quite intimate contact, and you're mentally shouting left, left, left! at me. I rather can't miss it. I can just pretend I don't hear your suggestions if that would make you more--"

"No, not necessary," she said quickly and gave his head a pat. "Carry on, then."

"Why, thank you," he said with a quirk of an eyebrow and resumed his efforts.

As his talented tongue and fingers were sending her rocketing towards the proverbial stratosphere a few minutes later, his mental voice interrupted: You're not balancing. When she didn't answer, he repeated, You have to balance.

She shook off his mental prodding like swatting a fly.

DONNA.

"I bloody well heard you the first two times," she snapped. "It's a little tough to worry about balancing and being blonde and all that when you're getting me all worked up here!"

Well, you have to do it, so concentrate. Honestly, it's not that hard!

She let the obvious pun pass without comment. "You can't possibly expect me to believe that you could do this either. I'd wager you couldn't count to 100 if I gave you the proper what-for!"

He raised up. "Well, you'd lose that wager," he said smugly. "I can do complicated quantum physics equations, make excellent banana pancakes, and solve a geo-political crisis, all at one time without breaking a sweat. I think mentally balancing and saying one phrase would be well within my... Where are you going?"

She sat up, pulling away from him. "Hand me my knickers."

He looked supremely stricken. "But...but...you're not done. I'm not done. Donna, we're not done!"

She crawled over and retrieved her knickers, scrambling into them while ignoring his spluttering apologies and explanations. Then she grabbed his jacket and pulled his sonic screwdriver out. "Undo your zip," she said. "We're changing places."

"Really? I mean, you don't have to, of course," he said even as he took the screwdriver from her and reversed the fusing process. Then he pitched the screwdriver aside again and pulled down his zip.

Something blue appeared. Her eyes went wide but before she could ask, he extracted and discarded what looked like a tumble dryer sheet and said nonchalantly, "Super-absorbent paper towel."

He crawled off the bed, standing so to more easily shed his trousers. "Well?" he asked, tossing the last of his clothes aside and standing naked before her.

"So, in the boxers or briefs debate, you'd be a 'neither,' eh?" she said, rather astonished to discover that the buttoned-up Time Lord favored going commando.

"Expediency," he said, clicking his tongue. "Now, are things...acceptable?"

She realized what he was asking. "Oi, fishing for compliments, are we?" she said with a snort. "I didn't hear you lavishing sweet-talk on my lady-bits while you were down there--oof!"

He leapt onto the bed next to her and sprawled across her legs. "Oh, Donna's Lady-bits," he intoned formally to the apex of her thighs. "My apologies for failing to acknowledge your grace and beauty before this moment. Truly, you are a supreme example of lady-bits and I'm quite pleased to make your acquaintance. In fact, I hope to make your acquaintance many more times and at much greater length."

And he placed a solemn kiss on the pink cotton while she dissolved into laughter.

"You are completely bonkers!" she crowed, and he grinned like the mad thing he was while she ruffled his hair into a wild mess. Then she gave him a mock-stern growl. "Over on your back, Martian boy, and let me hear you count to 100. In English. Out-loud."

"Not a problem," he said with a superior sniff.

She had to give him credit: he kept his voice remarkably steady under the circumstances up until 20. By 30, he was noticeably breathless and by 40 he sounded like he was trying to climb an increasingly steep hill. As he rolled past 50, she could feel him trembling with effort.

"Fifty-orange?" she stopped and questioned sarcastically.

"Fifty-four," he corrected, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Having a bit of struggle?" she asked in sugary concern, keeping her hands moving on him so not to give him a respite.

"I'm fine, thanks," he said in a higher pitch than normal. "Just peachy, in fact. Finely, finely fine. Fine as peach fuzz. Though peach fuzz isn't always-nnnngggggg..."

"That didn't sound much like a number, Doctor. Want to try again?" And she returned to her task, this time stepping up her game with fancier swirls of her tongue.

He said something in very desperate-sounding Gallifreyan.

Again, not a number, she thought at him, not sure if he would hear. I'm pretty sure the TARDIS would've translated if it would've been a number.

"You're a cruel woman, Donna Noble," he groaned, fisting his hands in the bedspread. But he did manage to resume counting, though there were often long, gasping pauses between numbers.

She let him get to 80 before she sped up the motions of her mouth, tongue and hands. He half-shouted a garble of "Eighty-twofournine!" and the tell-tale wave of heat flooded down her spine, letting her know he was close.

Next time, presuming there was a next time, she'd give him the full ride. But right now she was much more curious to watch, so she drew back and pumped him furiously with her hand. The boiling water sensation poured down through her, almost sending her over first; her throbbing lady-bits had certainly not forgotten that her stubborn pride had preempted her own satisfaction when she made him switch places with her.

No, I want to see, she thought with grim determination, bearing down against the feeling as it corkscrewed through her, pinning it as it tried to snap free. And she was thusly treated to an amazing display as he found his release.

"Holy..." she murmured in true wonderment a few moments later. "You're a bloody firehose, you are! I think you nailed the ceiling."

"'S good or bad?" he asked hoarsely.

She considered. "Hm. Good, I suppose. Yeah, I'd give that a try." While he laughed brokenly, she glanced down. "Oi, I should've taken my blouse off. I'm all splattered! Think the TARDIS will give me a discount on the laundry?"

"Oh, I think something can be arranged--" He cut off as she flopped onto her back next to him, their arms brushing in the process. He rolled to his side, touching her temple then pressing his hand low against her abdomen. She gasped, her muscles reflexively twitching and fluttering.

"You held off your response to my orgasm," he said, stunned. "How? You shouldn't be able to do that, not with the bond still immature and not without training."

"I just..." She struggled to explain what she really didn't understand herself. "I just didn't want it to get in my way so I... held it down somehow and it-- OH!"

She grasped at his shoulder as her back arched away from the mattress. Arousal burst through her like fireworks, so intense it was nearly painful.

"Delayed reaction," he said, sliding his palm down to rub vigorous circles through her knickers. She came so hard she saw stars and flashes of lights as afterimages for several seconds.

Belatedly, she gasped out, "I'm a dumb blonde. And I win." She wasn't properly balanced and she hadn't gotten the phrase out in time but she was claiming a victory anyway and just let him try to argue her out of it.

His head drooped to her shoulder and he chuckled. "All right, you win. But after this, I don't want to hear that word again."

"Oh, well good luck with that 'cause I win a lot, thank you very much."

He looked at her and she was surprised at the seriousness in his eyes. "I didn't mean that one," he said. "You're many things, Donna, but dumb is not, nor will it ever be, one of them. I don't want to hear that from you again, hm?"

"Okay," she said a bit too flippantly because he cocked an eyebrow at her. "Okay," she repeated quietly.

He waited a few more seconds then gave her a brilliant smile. "There we go," he concluded, curling around her once more and nuzzling his face against her shoulder. "Now, what do you say to some therapeutic cuddling?"

"I'd say I could've guessed you were a cuddler," she responded even as she was putting her arms around him.

"We still need a lot more practice, I hope you know. A lot."

"Bring it, spaceman. I'm game if you are." And she kissed the top of his head as he laughed.



A/N: There's now a one-shot fic titled "Balancing Act: Interlude" that immediately follows this chapter and serves as a deleted scene between Chapters 4 and 5. ;)

Or go directly to Chapter 5 ;)

YAY! A new chapter! Poor Doctor getting all upset that someone is making moves on his woman. I like the image of him stalking up to her as she's trying to balance. I can see the look in his eyes. Mmmmm.

"You held off my orgasm," he said, stunned. "How? You shouldn't be able to do that, not with the bond still immature and not without training."

Does he mean that she held off his orgasm or her own? I'm a bit confused.

D'oh! Sorry 'bout that! I knew what I was saying, I just didn't bother to clue anybody else in on it, lol! ;) I added in a few more words that ought to hopefully make it make a bit more sense:

"You held off your response to my orgasm," he said, stunned.

Anyway, it was hers that she held off; she should've had no choice but to go when he did, but she managed to delay her own just a bit. ;) Sorry again! *offers cookie* ;)

And you know, I have to say that I kinda liked the whole predatory!Ten image myself... Rawr! ♥! Thanks so much for reading and commenting! :D ♥!

Gorgeous chapter. Fun, adorable, amusing, and hot.

This... this is just so much love:

He leapt onto the bed next to her and sprawled across her legs. "Oh, Donna's Lady-bits," he intoned formally to the apex of her thighs. "My apologies for failing to acknowledge your grace and beauty before this moment. Truly, you are a supreme example of lady-bits and I'm quite pleased to make your acquaintance. In fact, I hope to make your acquaintance many more times and at much greater length."

And he placed a solemn kiss on the pink cotton while she dissolved into laughter.


But, also, I freakin' died at "'Fifty-orange?' she stopped and questioned sarcastically."

I'll have you know that this is the only 10/Donna slash that I've ever liked. I usually don't like the idea, but this is a very fun story, and it's well written, and it's not any of that weird S&M stuff that I can't seem to get away from finding in my fic searches. So thanks for that.

Aw, thank you! That really means a lot to me that you don't normally like Ten/Donna but you've been enjoying this! :D I really wanted it to come across as fun because to me they just have so much fun together, and I felt like that would carry over if something like this would've happened to them. ;) I'm so glad that it's worked for you!

Any "practice" that required him to take the precaution of fusing his zip shut first had to be more fun than standing around on one foot.

OMG I love this fic!

I love how you get them to be sexy and funny. So many people write fic with movie sex scenes, all gasping and sweating and looking perfectly at the camera and it's all so dull. But you write proper sex scenes. With laughing and talking and everything.

I love this idea and I love them two together and I am an unashamed shipper, thanks to your fic!

Awwwwwww, thank you SO much! That's just a huge compliment, especially since this is my first foray into writing anything even remotely NC-17 and I've definitely sweated it out! O_O ;) I've just tried to keep them "them" as best I can, no matter what they're doing at the time, so I'm really so glad to hear that that's working! *happy dances*

And I'm also extremely tickled that I've helped sway you to the Ten/Donna shipper side, lol! ;) We have cookies and lots of laughs (and the occasional appearance of nekkid!Ten, which keeps the meetings lively, that's for sure! ;) ). :D ;)

I was just thinking yesterday that I hoped the next part of this fic came out soon!

I could totally hear the Doctor's Ode To Donna's Lady Bits in his own voice. Because let's face it, if the Doctor were ever to have sex, I think it's likely he'd do it in the most fun way possible.

Aw, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I have to say, I never expected to compose the Doctor's Ode to Donna's Lady-bits one day but...

OMG lucky Dr getting to talk to Donna's lady bits!

I love this fic, funny and hot.

More practicing required!

*giggles* Well, I figured he wouldn't pass up the chance to get a little more personal with her lady-bits or, you know, anything else he might get the chance to be personal with... ;)

Thanks so much! :D ♥!

Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (I had a little bit too much fun writing some parts of this one, I have to say, lol! ;) ) Thanks for reading and commenting! :D ♥!

Awwwww, shucks! ;) Thanks so much! I'm always glad to hear that their banter is entertaining, 'cause that's definitely one of my favorite parts to write. :D Thanks bunches for reading and commenting! ♥♥♥!!!

Oh, yay! I've been checking back like an obsessed fic-stalker a mildly interested fan for an update... and here one is!

And oh my, but it didn't disappoint! I love the idea of the Doctor getting rather possessive of Donna, "spelunking," and the sweet little bit at the end where he tells her not to call herself dumb is just icing on the yummy pr0n cake!

Thanks for updating - naturally, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for more!

Ooo, I give cookies to obsessed fic stalkers mildly interested fans looking for updates, doncha know? ;) *gives cookie* ;)

I must admit, I do have a fondness for possessive!Ten... ;) Oh and I'm glad that you liked the bit at the end. I was kinda fond of that myself and hoped that it would come across well after all that pr0n very friendly stuff they'd been doing. ;) :D

Ch 5 is in progress as I type this! (I really hoped to be a faster updater than this but it just seems to take me a week between chapters no matter what I do. *pouts* I had the first 2 chapters written before I posted the first one, that's how they came out so close together. *blushes* ;) )

Anyway, thanks so much for reading and commenting! :D ♥!

I was re-reading your chapters when I spotted the link to your new chapter - I actually did a little whoop and hoped it wasn't some strange cruel trickery, lol.

I love your writing! I am completely envious how you manage to make me flustered and laughing my arse off all at the same time. I love that they don't say the perfect romantic thing and say things like "fifty orange"! instead. Just the right amount of crack. I wasn't sure about a post-JE shag or die Thing, but goodness you write it so damn well that it convinces me and I am in love with this fic :)

Awwwww! *essplodes from squee* That's just such a fabulous comment from start to finish! I'm just all a-smiley right now! :D :D :D

Thank you so very much! I'm just so glad you've been enjoying this! :D (Ooo, and yay, my linking from one chapter to the next really is serving a purpose! \o/ I'm actually really glad to hear that, lol! ;) ) Thanks again! *wanders away, still all a-smiley* ;) ♥♥♥!!!

First things first: Jen sent me here.

Now the important bit: You're brilliant. I have no words for how brilliant this fic is, and how much I laughed, and I'll have you know I'm replacing that atrocious finale for this fic in my mind. Deal?

This is pure brilliance, and I have no idea how you do it, but you write pure crack. Never a dull moment. Thank you for this, and you just got yourself an avid reader.

Edited to add: I also don't know how you can pull off funny & hot as hell at the same time, but you can. Brilliantly, as well. *takes hat off* Sorry I forgot to say this before.

*makes note to send [livejournal.com profile] mistojen a big basket of cookies* ;)

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! And oh, I have no problem at ALL with you replacing the finale for something like this; I've been trying to do the same thing myself! ;) So that's definitely a deal! *shakes on it* :D

"Funny and hot" just totally makes my day to hear; that's what I SO hoped would come across! *does happy dance* Thanks again so much for reading and commenting! *gives you cookies as well since I'm baking a fresh batch anyway* ;) ♥!

Here by way of ... er, one of the Doctor/Donna communities i just joined (because the series finale is about to screen here, and i must prepare myself. Donna's memory is not wiped, she's temporarily amnesiastic. Yes.) and just wanted to say how much i love this. Your humour (and characterisation) is perfect, and the mental images i now have of the Dr mumbling and spasming and reciting "fifty-orange" are too brilliant for words. Thank you! I can't wait to read the rest.

Oh, you definitely need to prepare for the finale, that's for sure! I like the temporary amnesia angle, myself! (Seriously, how can they expect us to just accept that finale and be happy with it? o_O )

Anyway, thanks so very much for reading and for all the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Chapter 5 should be ready soon; I'm hoping to have it ready to go to my beta tonight! *fingers crossed* Thanks again! ♥!

Love love love love. I'm so glad I went back on the doctor_donna archive and found this story. It's so great!

D'aww, thank you! :D Hopefully I got here in time to edit in the link to the Interlude fic just in case you wanted to read it. ;) (I realized that I'd forgotten to link it here, oops. It's over on my creative comm, which I didn't have at the time when I originally did "Balancing Act." ;) ) It's not required to make sense of the original story but was written as a request for a fic meme I did a while back for a "missing scene" after "Balancing Act" was completed. ;)

Anyway, thank you again so much for reading and commenting to let me know you've enjoyed this one! It really makes me glad to know it can still be enjoyed even after all of the years since it was written! :D ♥♥♥!!!
