Hello again for another round of recs! I'm going to start with New Who:

Story: Gaining Momentum
Author: gnossienne_nr1
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 1639
Author's Summary: Five things Donna remembers, after
Characters/Pairings: Donna Noble
Recced Because: This story is rather deceptive. It starts off feeling like simply a fluffy but poignant look at snapshots of Donna's life after Journey's End, but as the title says, it gains momentum as it goes along. The five snapshots unfold like a modern fairy tale; the fantastical and whimsical existing just in the peripheral corners of the drudgery of the real world, just out of reach but coming into sharper focus. I love how it shows Donna's growing potential through her own eyes and mind, how it builds excitement and energy as it goes along, so the end is at once satisfying in a storytelling sense, but also a wide-open beginning.
