For the end of the week, here’s a fic that takes us back to the beginning.
Story:

Author's Summary: Some people make history. Some people participate in history. Most of us just watch it from the sidelines. Happy 47th birthday, Who!
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton, Susan Foreman, The Doctor (1st)
Warnings: none
Reced because: I love outsider stories, in which we see familiar characters through the eyes of strangers. JJPOR shows us the events in a certain London junkyard on an evening in 1963 from the POV of three OCs. Their identity is both surprising and obvious, and consistent with canon.

“Give her a couple of years,” Terry grinned as the girl walked past the van, oblivious to his gaze.
“You’re disgusting,” George told him. “Youngsters today…you’ve got it on the brain!”
“What?”
“It!”
Go, read, and if you enjoy, please let the author know.
