Creator's Summary: Nearly three decades later, Ray encounters the Doctor once more -- and he's badly in need of her help.
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor & Ray Defwydd
Warnings/Notes: some mild body horror
Reasons for reccing: I saw the "Companions" square on my Reccers' Bingo and thought, well, that scarcely narrows it down, almost every DW fic is going to have a companion in it. So then I thought, by the principle of lucus a non lucendo, maybe I should recommend a fic about someone who isn't a companion, but should have been. Hence, Ray.
This was a gift for me in the Hurt/Comfort Exchange this year, and I think it's one of the best Ray fics I've ever read. The author's idea of how she would spend her life is very convincing and fitting, and it's wonderful to see how her friendship with the Doctor comes right back to life even after so many years. And he needs her--not just because he's in danger, but because he's lonely and he needs a friend. Ray may not be a Companion in the technical Doctor Who sense, but her companionship is a gift.
