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.

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 :)
