Fic meme day 17: Martha > everyone
Day 17. A fic that holds a lot of meaning to you
My brain immediately went "meaning = gen + Doctor Who," so here's my rec:
Seems Far From Home, Seems Farther From You by girl_wonder
Doctor Who / SGA crossover, gen, character study of Martha Jones
Afterwards, it seemed almost anticlimactic to take her exams and actually start working in a hospital.
This is a story that looks at Martha after the year that wasn't, how she's changed, what it's like to be on earth without the Doctor and having survived the apocalypse in a world that doesn't remember it. She ends up in Atlantis, but that's just the icing on the cake for this deliciousness. The reason I'd say it has meaning for me is that I love Martha, and I always wanted to see what she was like after that year, after being the woman who saved the world... and this captures that tone and feeling perfectly. Plus bonus going for a run with Ronon.
I also highly, highly recommend the podfic by reena_jenkins. She gets the post-apocalypse Martha tone just right.
A favorite vid that captures Martha's awesomeness (and inspired today's subject): Shut Up and Drive by laurashapiro
