how to start a fit club Strong two-suiters after partner opens 1NT

Hi all Last night I was in the unusual situation of holding: AKJxxxx Q - KTxxx Partner, in second seat, opened 1NT (12-14). RHO passed, and I started with a transfer to S. Partner completed the transfer, and I rebid 3C (game-forcing with slam interest). Happy so far? What are the best continuations from this point? Obviously, on this hand I want to know about aces; if partner has the two relevant aces I want to know about the SQ to bid the grand. On other hands e.g. KQxxx/ AK/x/KQxxx I'm still considering slam, and still interested in aces, but I also want to know which of my suits partner prefers. It seems to me that partner should bid S without controls, and should cue-bid otherwise. Should we enter a control-showing auction even though we're not necessarily certain which suit to play? Alternatively, how can we carry on without risking getting too high?

Show S+C, then D-exclusion. Doesn't that work? Has partner refused preference, then 5NT to pick.
