Author's Summary: The Doctor learns that school is hell, but detention is worse. Takes place immediately after "Journey's End." A solo adventure.

Recced because: This is an amazing fic, but be warned: it's lacking the last chapter. Even with that, it's just amazing. The last chapter would be nice, but you know that it would be wrap up. This is one of those fics that would have been wonderful as an episode. Actually, to me, it *is* an episode. So pass it by if you can't bare unfinished fics, but I suggest that you go for it. You won't be sorry and if you're anything like me, you'll love the hell out of it, missing last chapter and all.

Author's Summary: Singers in this hard but beautiful land often told Helen they knew as many songs as there were stars in the sky. Tonight, with the aid of two impossible strangers, she would help one singer reclaim those stars.
Characters/Pairings: 9th Doctor/Rose Tyler/ TARDIS
Warnings: None

Recced because: A beautiful, lyrical story with a great alien life form, written from the POV of Dr. Helen Creighton, of whom the author writes: "Finally, the woman I grew up calling “Aunt Helen” had a gorgeous smile, a hearty laugh, a natural dignity and a deep kindness. Wherever she is now — perhaps traveling the stars in a way very different than our favorite Doctor and companion — I send her my respect and love". This is one of my favorite fics, and in one of my favorite styles -- seeing the Doctor and his companion from a OC point of view.
