rec: then sleep the season by cherry ice

Story: Then Sleep the Season
Author: Cherry Ice
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1954
Author's Summary: The TARDIS is not her home, and she is more a stranger here than she has ever been. Romana, last of the Time Lords.
Characters/Pairings: Romana, Mickey Smith, K-9
Warnings: N/A

Recced because: The very idea of an AU where Romana is the last of the Time Lords with Mickey as her companion is of course fantastic, but it's the execution that really makes this fic. The characterisation is superb, Romana's guilt over the war and how ill at ease she feels in the Doctor's TARDIS is both painful and wonderful.

Ooh! I've had some amazing fics written for me in ficathons, and this is one of my favourites.

Ooh, I second this rec enthusiastically. It's very well done.

Whoa! I love the idea, and I haven't even read the story yet!

I third this rec. Absolutely amazing. It makes me mushy-eyed every time.
