Rec: A Tale of Two Doctors

Story: A Tale of Two Doctors
Author: sensiblecat
Rating: All Ages
Author's summary: At the end of "Time Crash" the two TARDISes separated and took Five and Ten back to their respective timelines.

But something went a bit wrong. The Doctors separated. The TARDIS sort of......cloned.

Now Five has Ten's TARDIS, and he's about to find out about the Year that Never Was. But why's he in a parallel world, and who is the girl waiting on the beach?
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Pete Tyler, Mickey, Donna, Jack, Martha (Pairing: Tenth Doctor/Rose)
Warnings: None

Recced because: I'm a sucker for well-written multi-Doctor stories and this one ranks right up there as one of my absolute favourites. There's a bit of timey-whimey stuff, a lot of angst, and some fantastic in-depth examinations of a number of the issues that Series 3 brought to life. This is a Doctor who's soul is bared for all to see, a Doctor who's broken, but most of all we have a Doctor who's starting to heal. There's also an older, wiser Rose whose insights into the Doctor are absolutely brilliant. This is, in my opinion, one of sensiblecat's best stories and one where she shows us just what it means to be the Doctor.
