Rating: All ages.
Warnings: None.
Word Count: 9857.
Summary: In which the Second Doctor, Jamie & Victoria find an old acquaintance meddling once again.

Recced Because: It's a delight to read. This fic features a timelord I won't name specifically, but whose name rhymes with 'Nettling Skunk.' He's completely lovely in a slightly defective way. My experience of the Second Doctor's era is very thin, and I haven't seen The Time Meddler but I don't think that these facts have impaired my enjoyment of this story at all. The characters sell this story. Nothing of great moment happens; it's a fun, character-driven read.

Recced because: It's beautiful.
Essentially, it's a 'What Would You Do If You Had One Day To Live' fic, but gives it a Time Lord twist.
If you had all time and space at your disposal, what would you do on your last day of freedom? The Eighth Doctor travels and sees all the beautiful things that earth has to offer throughout history in the span of a single day that lasts centuries.
Really, really stunning. Misscams stuff is always beautiful, and philosophical I think.
Honestly, I thing we could all use something a little cheerful after yesterday's special!
