Summary
You were—
“Doctor?”
Oh Rassilon, you were—
“You were…were you dead?” she asks, peering over her knees, her voice barely over a whisper.
You jerk your head up and down briefly, unable to trust your stomach if you open your mouth. Yes. You were dead.
But there was something else.

Summary
Some people never do anything impossible. Improbable, perhaps. Unexpected. Shocking, even. Some people simply live and go on living, like anyone else on the street when you come down to it. Maybe a little smarter, a little stronger, a little braver. Their names are ordinary names like Sarah or Mickey or Jackie, Mel or Jo or Ian. Or Martha.
On the Woman Who Walked the World.

The Backfile by miranda_wave (miranda_askher)
Fandom Doctor Who, Doctor Who & Related Fandoms, Doctor Who (2005)
08 Aug 2016
Summary
Stories begun between 2011 and 2014 (generally before I started grad school) and finished in summer 2016 or later. The goal is to actually finish (even if in a very short teaser form) everything in the backfile. There's some cool stuff and some crazy nonsense, and at least one Project of Epic Length that is inevitably going to take a buttload of work.

Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.
--
Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
"What's the Aphelion?"
From the pile of discarded files, ART plucked one and trimmed it down for me, just to the salient bits. Even ignoring all of the technical stuff about AI crèches and pair-bonds and artificial empathy development left me with the simple answer "It's complicated." And that complication was about to be tangible, and something I would have to personally deal with.
"You have a twin."
