Author's Summary: She blew up the university halfway through Martha’s first week.
Characters/Pairings: Ace/Martha
Warnings: None

Recced because: If there's an obscure pairing I'm weak for, it's Ace/Martha, and this story paints a bittersweet picture of what happens when the two women meet for the first time. Martha, just starting out at university, isn't quite sure of her place in the world, while streetwise Ace teaches her there's more to life than her studies. With Ace just marking time until the Doctor returns, her relationship with Martha can't possibly last, but Martha takes away memories – and explosives – that change her life.

Rating: All Ages
Author's summary: “A bike,” Martha said, looking it over as best she could in the dark. “You travel through time on a bike.” She looked up at Dorothy again. “How safe is that again?”
Characters/Pairings: Ace/Martha
Warnings: none
Word Count: 1923 words

Recced because: This story makes great use of the Year That Never Was setting: it provides the characters with motivation but is carefully placed as a backdrop to let Ace and Martha shine through. Ace (or Dorothy, as she's now calling herself), is older and wiser, and together they examine themselves and the role the Doctor plays in his companions' lives. It's quiet and fierce at the same time, and gentle without being at all sentimental. Really terrific.

Story: Once Around the Wheel
Author: Amy Wolf
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 8634
Author's Summary: This never happened. So why does it keep ending?
Characters/Pairings: Ace/Martha
Warnings: N/A

Recced because: This is quite simply the best Year-that-never-was fic that I've ever read. It's gorgeous, painful and brilliantly written. It'll make you utterly convinced that Martha met Ace during that year, and it'll break your heart just a little bit.

Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 1560
Author's Summary: The truth is, I often like women.
Characters/Pairings: Ace/Mel, Ace/Martha, Ace/Rose, Ace/Romana II
Warnings: None

Recced because: My favorite femslash fic. And this is coming from someone who isn't as fanatical about Ace as some people... Some excellent pairings here, each sensitively and expertly written. Highly recommended.
