Why this must be read:
Now, the crackwhores in charge of the 1996 TV Movie (which was very very misguided, in case you missed the overview) decided to mention, just in passing, that the Doctor was half-human. On his mother's side. Everyone was all "What the shit is wrong with you people?! You don't just pull something like that out of your ass because you feel like it!" Most people in the fandom decide to ignore this bit of idiocy (and the other bit, where the Eye of Harmony lives in the TARDIS. What were they thinking??) and pretend that it never happened. It's sort of optional canon, with the vast majority of fandom opting out of it because it makes no sense.
This fic decides to run with the idea. His mother, of course being frail and human, dies and, as a young man, he makes an unfortunate attempt to do something about that, informing his attitudes about messing with timelines and all of that. It is about being stuck between worlds and the questions of what family is and what home is. Entierly worth the read.
