Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I could never imagine this pairing, until I read this story. Then, once I had read it, the pairing made perfect sense, but only in the way they are together here. This story brings Tegan and the Doctor together, but in a way that preserves the Doctor's essential, alien otherness. This is such a great Tegan voice. She's such a loud "outside" sort of character but this quieter, thoughtful but unflinchingly honest internal voice works so beautifully. I love - in a slightly uncomfortable way - the way the Doctor is with her, the way he sounds and acts - I can hear him so clearly in the dialogue - but Tegan is what really makes this story. It's one that's stayed in my mind ever since I first read it, years ago.
