Marvellous Martha Jones
I'm recommending Martha Jones-centric fics all this week but they're not all Martha/Ten.
I posted this recommendation yesterday but it seems to have disappeared, so I'm making two recommendations today to make up for it.
Story: The Wake
Author: Biichan
Author Summary: Martha visits The Wheel in the aftermath of the Cybermen.
Characters: Martha Jones, Zoe Herriot
Rating: All Ages
Word count: 940
Recced because: This is a sweet and gentle tale with a vein of humour in which Martha continues to be her usual compassionate self, despite a long lifetime of dealing with aliens:
Martha slept fitfully on the rocket ship. Space travel was not a new sensation to her–she'd been to her first alien planet while still at university and to many more since then–but it had been a much more advanced ship that had first ferried her across the void of stars. Not a human ship–which were still crude and ungainly things more than a century after the Apollo Project–but an alien vessel: a living ship that traveled through time and space at the flick of a switch and the turn of a dial.
Earth's rocket ships, she was given to understand, tended to get where they were going more often.

Well, there's only two or three episodes of the Wheel In Space that didn't get burnt. I saw them myself on the Lost In Time DVD I borrowed from my friend Steve and then later I went and read the Target book, which is what I used for the background for this fic.
