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.

Title: Footsteps in the Sand
Author: Corona
Fandom: Doctor Who
Genre: General
Length:  Short

Author's Summary:
Donna thinks she's just about back to normal.

Review:
Yep, another Corona-writes-Donna fic.  I guess it's a two-for-one kind of day.  I badly want a sequel to this where Donna and Caan find these Time Lords Caan prophecized about.  But this fic is great as is too.  Donna has some great lines and the characterizations are good.

Title: Important Angel Business
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] entanglednow 
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairings: Sam&Gabriel, mentions of Dean/Cas
Genre: Friendship, Humor
Length:  Short (Words: 3,332)

Author's Summary:
Sam has no idea how Gabriel got his number.

Review:
This is labeled as a Sabriel ship fic on AO3, but it's more either friendship or pre-slash and since it's a one-shot and never gets around to slash, I went with the friendship genre label here.  Basically, Sam and Gabriel decide to be friends and exchange funny text messages.  It's a short, cheerful, pick-me-up type of fic.
