New DW/SJA cross-over fic: From the Ashes

[selenay]

Title: From the Ashes
Summary: Maria rescues the girl and discovers that what you planned isn't always how things work out.
Rating: PG
Pairing: Maria Jackson/Romana II
Spoilers: Nothing really unless you've never seen SJA or 1970s Doctor Who. I started this before watching the start of season two SJA and I'm a spoiler-phobe, which is why the canon doesn't quite tie up with what we've now seen.
Author's Notes: Written for doreyg who requested Maria, Susan, Romana II or the Rani (two out of four ain't bad), old school/new school, the TARDIS and some action scenes. I think I've got most of that in!
Disclaimer: Doctor Who, its spin-offs and its characters are the property of the BBC. I do not own the characters and indeed am only playing with them for a little while. I am not making any money from this. No copyright infringement whatsoever is intended. The story is for entertainment purposes only. Please check with me first if you want to archive this story.
Distribution: Teaspoon and an Open Mind, anyone else please ask first.
Feedback: Yes please *g*

When she was seventeen, Maria considered her biggest triumph to be passing her GCSEs while helping to thwart a Silurian attack on London.

I've seen SJA (Series 1) but not '70s Who (so, really, all I know about Romana is that she's a companion), and I really really really liked this. Squee.

Thank you! You should really try to watch the Romana episodes because she's great. Romana II is better than Romana I (just MHO) and there were some great episodes from that period.

City of Death is a good place to start.

Glad you liked this, though :-)

Oh, I loved it! Beautifully written (I love the recurring line), and sweet without being too cloying. I love that Maria always had a crush on Sarah Jane (but has grown past if, even if she doesn't know what to do about it), and I liked her relationship with Romana. Very cool! Thank you for sharing this! :)
