The Companion Connection, by @lumendea
Part 03 of Guardians of the Universe Verse
Four weddings and a funeral…
...........alright so it was one wedding and the funeral….well lets just say rumours of the death may have been a bit exaggerated.
Lumendea’s third instalment of her wildly engaging Guardians of the Universe series is a home run. It’s Rose’s first year of college and the blue print for future seasons is really laid out in this one. An amusing blend of Sarah Jane Adventures, New Who episodes and original content, all sprinkled with call backs to classic Who episodes.
Rose’s destiny is just beginning and yet hints of the future are around every corner, every adventure that she has. Yet again there are multiple doctor sightings as Rose juggles her temporally complex relationship with the doctor. Juggling timelines isn’t easy as she makes friends with a lot of previous companions who have their own preconceived notions of who the Doctor is. It’s intriguing watching how the past companions view Rose and the unique position she takes in the Doctor’s life and how it alters their own views of him.
Well written, this is a thrilling addition to the Doctor Who fanfiction fandom. Rose starts to comprehend her place in the universe and starts to truly deal with all the zany things that are going on in her life. If you are looking for a Rose centered fic that has action, adventure and romance this is the story for you. I would recommend starting with The Blond Girl and Defender of the Earth as they set the stage for a number of the adventures that take place in this one.
