Rec: Nine and a Half

Story: Nine and a Half
Author: AstroGirl
Rating: All Ages
Author's Summary: The Doctor's regeneration goes wrong. How wrong? Well, this was written for a zombie-themed ficathon...
Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor, Rose
Warnings: None

Recced because: Admittedly, you can sell me on nearly anything if you say the five magic words: "It's got zombies in it." That said, this story of "The Parting of the Ways" gone pear-shaped also stands out by virtue of being exceedingly funny, with an admirably unflappable Rose and a Doctor who, in the most literal sense possible, loves her for her braiiiiiiiiiins mind. A nice bit of cracky fun for all your crackfic needs.

If I had recced any New Who story during my week earlier this month, it would have been this one. I love it. Great story with a great ending.

I love the ending, which I definitely wasn't expecting.

This is one of my all-time favourites; was one of my first recs when I first started my DW reccing career at crack_van. I'm so glad it's up on the Teaspoon and that you've pointed it out to a wider audience!

Favorite of mine as well--the aforementioned zombies, and it always makes me laugh very hard.
