Doctor/Rose is a (usually) het pairing of the Doctor and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who fandom. Rose is overwhelmingly paired with Ten the most, as well as frequently with Nine and TenToo. However, there are many fanworks that have shipped Rose with the other Doctors, including Eleven, Thirteen, Twelve, and Eight.

Fandom

The pairing of the Doctor and Rose is very popular. On fanfic archive Ao3 (which did not exist when this pairing began) Tenth Doctor/Rose is the most popular pairing in the Doctor Who (2005) fandom. Tentoo/Rose is the third most popular pairing, and Nine/Rose is the fifth. In fact, Rose/Doctor is usually within the top ten ships for almost every incarnation of the Doctor, from the first to thirteenth, on Ao3, with the fourteenth and fifteenth Doctors being the exceptions[1].

Doctor/Rose are often cosplayed together.

Terminology

Because Doctor/Rose is every broad and can encompass any version of the Doctor, fanworks are often tagged with a smush name that indicates which Doctor the fanwork is specially about, for example TenRose, NineRose, etc. However, if the creator is not trying to be specific or trying to reach all Doctor/Rose fans they may use the tag Time Petals, which is s general ship name for the pairing.

Common Tropes

  • Alternate Universes are very common
    • Works pairing Rose with TenToo are often set in the canon alternative universe of Pete's World. Works often include their early relationship and can be quite fluffy.
  • Fix-its and denialfic for what happens in Season 2 finale and/or Season's four finale are very common
    • Post-Doomsday (Post-DD) Fix-its often involved Rose continuing to travel with Ten.
    • Post-Journey's End (Post-JE) fics often saw Rose traveling with the Ten (and sometimes TenToo)
    • Reunion fics are also very common. Post-JE, some reunion fics imagined Rose reuniting with the Doctor after Tentoo has died. In others the Doctor finds a way to return to Pete's World.
  • Bad Wolf turning Rose into something similar to a Timelord is quite common in fics that deal with Rose staying with The Doctor "forever" like she promised. This sometimes involves a telepathic bond forming between the two. In other works featuring Telepathy, the bond can be accidental, non-con or the result of the Doctor losing control.
  • Dimension Hopping Rose often encounters other regenerations of the Doctor.
  • Historical settings are common and sometimes full blown historical-era AUs. Other works are canon AUs, and a number are also fobwatch fics.
  • Pregnancy and Kidfic are also quite common where Doctor/Rose start a family (or already has one). There was a tendency in fics to headcanon that Rose was pregnant in Doomsday.

Crossovers

  • Teninch refers to pairings of any David Tennant character (that is not the Doctor) paired with any Billie Piper character.
  • Doctor Piper refers to pairings of any Doctor, with any Billie Piper character (that is not Rose Tyler).

Challenges

The Doctor/Rose fandom had an active challenge community, largely on LiveJournal, but then later also to a smaller degree on Tumblr, often hosting gift exchanges and ficathons.

Fanworks

FanFiction

  • Guardians of the Universe series by Lumendea, All it took to change the universe was one little alteration to the time line of Rose Tyler when she was eleven years old. While an alien hunts her and preys on children, Rose meets a remarkable man called the Doctor. Suddenly her childhood is full of adventure, aliens and lots of running that will change the course of her life. (Rose/Multiple Doctors)
