Well, yeah, it was a joke.

Speaking of, at least a couple of times they're mentioned AS 'the Ponds' like a complete unit. I only really have a layman's grasp of Dr. Who, so I'm guessing they're married in some way? Even if no one else really knows it?

Also:

"If she starts - " SUSTAINED TRAIN WHISTLE " - worry, it's
perfectly normal!"

"I'm always going to wonder now," Utena observed matter-of-
factly in the quiet that settled once the train was gone.

If she what exactly?! Dammit, now I'm always gonna wonder myself :(

Yes they are. The punch line is that, in their current setting, no one around them knows that they actually are married - but they're so obviously a couple that their friends refer to them as if they were, believing it to be an injoke.

And it is!

Just not the one they think it is. :)

Some routine baby behavior first-time parents tend to mistake for a sign that something's gone wrong, one would imagine. Possibly to do with teething. Babies who are teething often develop curious habits which can dismay the unprepared, or so I am told. Nothing supernatural was meant to be implied.

I took it more that the people who know there's something odd about them are also experienced enough with this sort of thing to recognize it's not a threat to them, the Ponds are damn good people, and they'll tell the story when they're good and ready.

I haven't read the comments in this thread yet, but:
"Then, with a delighted sound, she attempted (unsuccessfully) to put the dragon's head in her mouth."
just about broke me. Literally, i'm recovering from a flu bad enough I spent the night in the hospital. Laughing == coughing spasm.

Alright, it's been 4 days, and I still can't figure out what the "Assassin's Last Surprise" is supposed to be. I mean, some sort of healing or shapechanging spell just doesn't sound badass enough, from the surrounding context. Direct Message or whisper if you must.

I believe it's much like the one these guys got.

Similar sort of concept, yes, but after rather than during the process, as it were. Basically, the assassin's last surprise is discovering that the woman who just gave birth the day before is fully recovered (not just from pregnancy's side effects, but more importantly, from the delivery itself), and very possibly in better fighting shape than he is.

It's a dangerous job, being a svartelven noblewoman, but it does have a decent benefits package.

This seems a good point to mention that I really liked the line about Svartalfheim not being quite as bad as medieval Florence.
