Recced because: First, this story was recced previously, in around April 2009. However, since the original reccer's LJ and posts to this comm were deleted, I received the go-ahead to select this fic again. It focuses on the relationship between the Doctor and Jo, an underrated companion in my opinion. The author gets her voice just right and highlights her best qualities. While the first four sections are set during the Third Doctor era, the final part features a bittersweet time jump with an older Jo who remains perfectly in character.

psst-- your links are switched ("Surprises" takes you to the author page, and "Selena" takes you to the story). But thanks for reccing this again -- I see that I reviewed it ages ago, but I'd forgotten about it, and I thoroughly enjoyed rediscovering it!

Fixed, thanks!
