Summary:Martha's tattoo is oddly appropriate.

Reflections on butterflies and storms. I like the way this weaves in myths and omens and introspection.

So in 1982, the Doctor becomes, for a week, a chemistry teacher.

Ten and Ace, gen. Time in a circle, and things that can't be done, and things that can. Poignant.

The description: "Moral grey areas and free transport". Which is perfectly true, and doesn't give away any more than it needs to. And since it's a rather short story, I don't want to give anything away either. Let's just say it's a long conversation that's very fitting to the tone of both series (7th Doctor, grey areas, say no more). Both characters are just right. Read it when you feel like an odd but thoughtful encounter.

"It's traditional. They're what you buy for people you're quite fond of."

Fourth Doctor and Romana; a light fluffy piece, very much in character.

You can't repopulate an entire species from two individuals. But most people assume you should at least try.

Ten/Romana and poking a bit of fun at the "repopulate the species" trope. Amusing and nice. It brings a smile.

Summary: The obvious AU from School Reunion.

This fits so much into so little space. Mythic and haunting; you'd never think that a happy ending could be so chilling.

It's not because she never met anyone.

Drabble. Sarah Jane muses a bit about her life. Poignant with a bit of a sting.

They brought him out of retirement for a new job...

This made me smile and was very much in character. Go Brig!
