"Never Quite Normal" (9th Doctor/Rose - AU) by Jessa L'Rynn - 153,710 words.

I thought you might want to add this, it's the absolute best Doctor/Rose AU I ever read, and I've read it four times. And I'm not even a Doctor/Rose shipper. It's long, but it doesn't feel like it when you're reading it.

The premise is that after the Time War the Tardis dumps the Doctor out on the Brigadier's lawn. The Doctor is going slowly mad from what he'd done, by the silence of the voices in his head. And he's not getting better.

He finally decides the only way to heal is to get away from himself. So he hypnotizes himself into thinking he's human. He's still a Time Lord, but doesn't know it. He thinks he's the Brigadier's nephew, Joshua Stewart. A former major in UNIT.

And he goes on a complete bender. He becomes a drunk. Until he meets a young woman named Rose.

The story includes an older version of the Brigadier, his wife, Doris, Sgt. Benton, and Harry Sullivan who all covertly look after the Doctor. And Mickey and Jackie as well as Rose's friends are all there. And everyone is in perfect character.

Can Rose save the Doctor from himself? And what will the Doctor do when he thinks he's just a normal human man?

It's a fantastic story, with over 800 reviews to recommend it.

Thanks for the rec! I don't go over to FF much so I've missed fics there.
