Universes Apart by atraphoenix

Story: Universes Apart
Author: atraphoenix
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 5324
Author's Summary: They found each other through the skin of the universe.
Characters/Pairings: Gwen Cooper/Rose Tyler, Ianto Jones, Jack Harkness, Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato
Warnings: None

Recced because: Rose and Gwen seem like the least likeliest of pairings. And yet this bittersweet fic, where Rose and Gwen communicate between Pete's World and the regular Doctor Who universe, makes this pairing work without forcing it in this fic.

Rec: Five Women Who Change Rose's Life

For my first rec of the week (and, in fact, my first rec ever), I bring you a fic by an author who hasn't been featured on [livejournal.com profile] calufrax before.

Story: Five Women Who Change Rose's Life
Author: ryttu3k
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 3380
Author's Summary: Stuck in an alternate universe with a pale imitation of the man she loves (loved?), Rose feels like her life has been put on hold. But things are changing her, even now.
Characters/Pairings: Rose/Gwen, Rose/Ten, duplicate!Ten/Martha.
Warnings: Miscellaneous spoilers for 'Journey's End'.

Recced because: I don't think anyone really expected Rose and the duplicate Doctor to live a perfect fairy tale life in the parallel universe, and I've read a great many different interpretations of what might have happened instead. This story is beautifully bittersweet, and ends on a perfectly positive note.
