Fic rec for my crack!ship
So I have this weird crack!ship. (Actually, I don't think it was necessary to put the word "weird" before "crack!ship" because isn't is just assumed that all crack!ships are weird as fuck? Anyway...) It's Martha/Rose. I could try to explain why I ship them, but um, that would be hard, wouldn't it? So I'll resort to quoting one of the only other Martha/Rose shippers I know of, Pheebe!

(Look carefully)
...and tagged it gorgeously with:
"You know what Tumblr? I will not hate Martha Jones because you love Rose Tyler and I will not hate Rose Tyler because you love Martha Jones and I will love them both because they're both fighters, they're both incredibly willful woman who have saved the world and lived to tell the tale; they're also both incredibly weary woman who have saved the world and come back to fight some more. They're both flawed and human and so full of courage and love and rage and will that they keep fighting, even if we don't see them doing it anymore. They're both women who are not afraid of love and who are hurt by it but who continue on because they must and because they know what is right and what is wrong and choose neither because they are morally gray in the best ways, they're both selfish and giving and in the end, they were the best, because the Doctor only chooses the best so don't you ever, ever dare tell me Martha Jones and Rose Tyler are anything less than brilliant. I made this gif specifically to rant. Look at that tight as fuck hug. Jones and Tyler out to save the universe one episode of unresolved sexual tension at a time. That's a DW spinoff I'd watch."
UGH. So flawless.
Anyway, there is obviously like zero fic out there for them, but I found this one piece somewhere between a drabble and a ficlet that I just adored, and I thought in case any of you are willing to indulge my little weird-ass pairing you might go give it a looksie!
