Story: Cheating Time
Author: Gillian Taylor (dark_aegis @ LJ) and wmr (wendymr @ LJ)
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 36,414
Author's Summary: He's saved the universe over and over again. He's lost everything, including his own race. Doesn't the universe owe him something in return?
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler/Jack Harkness
Warnings: None

Recced because: Ten attempts to get Rose back by taking her from himself pre-"Doomsday." Needless to say, this will all end in tears. Gillian Taylor and wmr create a fascinating, believable alternate reality dealing with the aftermath of Ten's decision--and their ultimate solution for rewriting the timeline *and* solving both the "Doomsday" dilemma and the problems caused by Ten's selfish mistake is jaw-droppingly brilliant.

Oh, brilliant choice! This story made me cry buckets, but it's so well done.

Thank you so much! This is a favourite among my own fics, mainly because it was written with dark_aegis. She's incredibly talented, especially when it comes to plotting action and timey-wimey stuff, and of course writing Ten. We had such fun writing it, and the icing on the cake was hearing how much people enjoyed it. That was overwhelming and we were so grateful. Just as I am for this lovely rec. Thank you again :)))) *hugs*

Thank you so much for the rec! As Wendy said, this is one of my favourites of the stories that I've written and that's mostly because I wrote it with Wendy. Writing together, especially on that story, seemed to bring the best out of both of us. Thank you again for this lovely rec :)
