Creator's Summary: In the weeks after his concussion, Adrian Smith of the Coal Hill English department becomes certain of two things: First, he has been in love with his colleague Clara Oswald for as long as he can remember. And second, Clara is most definitely having a secret affair with John Smith, Coal Hill’s Scottish caretaker.
Characters/Pairings: Eleven/Clara, Twelve/Clara, Martha, Osgood
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: I followed this as a WIP and it was a wonderful ride! It's a really fun twist on the chameleon arch trope, and in addition to the shippiness (which is very sweet, especially if you're into ironically complicated one-sided pining), there's a surprising amount of action and a lot of really fun teamwork with Clara, Martha, and Osgood. What's the point of time travel if you can't get into love triangles with your future self and introduce your most awesome friends to each other??

This counts for the Claim a Character monthly challenge--I claimed Clara.
