Rec: Patterns in the Patchwork

Story: Patterns in the Patchwork
Author: Kay Seda
Rating: All ages
Author's summary: Other worlds, other times, myriads of other book shops, music shops, duty-frees, jumble sales, treasuries, dungeons, corridors, rock-strewn wastelands, space stations...
Characters/Pairings: Eight/Fitz
Warnings: None

Recced because:
Because this manages the fairly difficult task of reconciling the end of the books with the beginning of the new series (meaning that Gallifrey has to get undestroyed in time for Eight to destroy it again) and it does it without falling headlong into fanwank; because it packs all these hints of other stories into less than 5000 words, with the summary alone containing about a season's worth of missing adventures; and because while I have many, many ships these two are my OTP and when their 'epic bromance' is done as right as it is here it's my favourite thing in this fandom.
