This is a retelling of the Fifth Doctor years...I hope to have all the episodes up here by the end of the year.  Be warned...the characterizations are slightly different.  For instance...the Doctor has a lot of currents of evil and the Time Lord Methos is played with almost to the point of unrecognizability.  Warning:  This series deals with interaction, friendship, psychology and sex.  If you do not see the Doctor or any of his companions in this manner, I would advise against reading. 

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO SAMANTHA!   She is a very diligent and wonderful beta reader! 

Explanation page:  If you are interested in reading this series, please read that first.

Soundtrack:   Just a bunch of songs for mood setting and the like.
