Rec: Heroic Hearts, by Persiflage

Story: Heroic Hearts
Author: Persiflage
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 11,476
Author's Summary: On her wedding day, Martha Jones finds there's more to her fiancé than she had realised.
Characters/Pairings: Martha, Ten, other characters
Warnings: none

Recced because:
And now for something completely different: pure wish-fulfillment. Done well, as it is here, this genre tells a story that would never be told onscreen, and yet it’s exactly the story we long to hear. The wonderful thing about this fic is that the author has found a way to give us a happily ever after that doesn’t utterly violate the characterizations we’ve seen onscreen, but is still romantic, sweet, and satisfying. She does it through some creative timey-wimey stuff  – and then brings us back to the “current” generation for closure.

Hee ! I came back... I'm still embarrassed though - but of course pleased too since I got a lot of pleasure out of writing that story, and it's nice that others have enjoyed reading it...
