rec: I have no icon to adequately express the awesomeness of this fic
So here's the thing. I've been patiently - and not so patiently - waiting for this story to be finished, mostly so I could rec this baby. And read the ending too, but I figure that's a given. :)
Lifelines by jinxed_wood
(link goes to final part, but is linked to all previous chapters)
As some of you may remember from [here] I recced her stuff before - actually, I recced all her stuff as a byproduct of that single rec. Well, she has not disappointed this time around, either. Her latest work, which is so totally amazing, is a crossover between Doctor Who and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Essentially, Martha meets up with Derek Reese during the Year-that-wasn't as she's crossing the US spreading her story. John and Sarah are dead, but Derek is still alive and kicking in the new, post-apocalyptic world, which isn't happening the way it was suppose to. This is Derek and Martha the entire way, and jinxed_wood managed to keep everything on the 'sort-of friends' level, even though it could have easily slipped into a Martha/Derek fic. (Which is good, because Romana has first dibs on Martha, apparently. :D)
The characters are spot on, the motivations totally work for me, and I end up loving Martha so much at the end (more than the show ever did, really).
This story is a prime example of why I read crossovers, people. Go, read, and bug her for more: she's apparently decided not to write any more in this universe until the season premiere of T:SCC, which I think is just wrong. Where would fandom be if we all worried about getting Jossed?
