Millennia attended school with the Doctor on Gallifrey. Now a renegade just like her former school mate and mourning the loss of her lover, she distracts herself through her travels. That is until a fight with some Sontarans forces her to hide out as a governess in 1901.

Adelaide Adler lives in 1901 Buffalo, New York with her widowed father and has spent the past nine years mourning the death of her mother.  She has also gone through more governesses than she can count. That is until the mysterious Miss Evans takes up the position. 

This story takes place in the Doctor Who universe but does not feature any canon characters from the show. I don't own any of the Doctor aspects of the story or Millennia who is a character briefly mentioned in the Doctor Who spin-off story Divided Loyalties.

38 parts Complete Mature
GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?

Dreams do(not) come true

6 parts Ongoing

The Doctor has met someone. Not just any someone. No, this someone claims she is a Time Lord, a Gallifreyan who escaped the Time War and Gallifrey's disappearance, and has hidden herself on Earth. She is bitter, resentful, and has many secrets she refuses to share. But those secrets haunt her, and The Doctor feels an urge to understand, to help her, the girl so lost she doesn't even remember her true name. Can he help the lost child, or will her terrors and memories overwhelm him, until he's as lost as she is? I do not own Doctor Who, only the characters I myself have created.
