Author: Corona
Fandom: Doctor Who
Genre: General
Length: Short
Admin Note: rec'd on fancake
Author's Summary:
Donna thinks she's just about back to normal.
Review:
This fic is so lovely. It's about after Donna's been sent home without her memories and she's trying to cope with what she thinks is head trauma and fears is insanity because, sometimes, things leak through. I really love that she's completely awesome and doesn't have to be anybody important to save the guy's life - so much fiction is about heroes, people who can do great things because they're special (because their blood is special, they were born under the right star, they were born with magic, they had a prophecy about them, etc) but sometimes it's hard to relate to that. And anyway, I'm such a Hufflepuff that I'd much rather read about someone who gets the job done because they're there and sure its hard, but someone has to do it, so they say "and that someone is me" and just make it happen. I also love that she doesn't even have to understand or think about - or more importantly, freak out about - how she knows these things. She just gets right down to doing something completely awesome.
