calufraxStory: The Sanctity of Ordinary Things
Author: Raven
Rating: All Ages
Author's summary: Jamie lived.
Characters/Pairings: Jamie (Nancy's son from "The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances," not Jamie McCrimmon), Nancy, Dr. Constantine; mentions the Ninth Doctor and Rose
Warnings: None
Recced because: It's a beautiful character study of Jamie's life and times after "The Doctor Dances," full of perfect little details--the other Blitz children concluding the Doctor is Jamie's father, stories lingering of a ghost child begging to be let into people's homes, Nancy feeling an emotional connection to Rose decades on, both she and her son still shying away from the word "Mummy." Jamie in this story is his own person charting his own destiny, and yet forever altered and changed by his chance encounter with the Doctor: He's been made to appreciate both the "ordinary things" of the title, and all the extraordinary things that lie beyond. An excellent example of a "Doctor-lite" story in which the Doctor's presence lingers on long after he's stepped back into the TARDIS.
