Creator's Summary:
“Well,” he says, his tone considerably lighter. “I hope I’m much more charming than he is.”

“I never said it was a he,” Tasha replies. “And no, you aren’t.”

Now he’s really intrigued. “Have I ever met her?”

“Probably. You seem to have met everyone of historical significance.”

“Almost everyone,” he corrects her. “Never met Abraham Lincoln. That seems like an obvious one, doesn’t it? But I guess it just... slipped my mind. I'm getting old, it was bound to happen eventually."

Characters/Pairings: Eleven/Tasha Lem; mentions of Eleven/River
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:A well crafted look at three hundred years on Christmas, between the Doctor and Tasha. The Eleventh Doctor is perfectly realized in this tale: mad and brave and also lonely and a bit scared at this long stretch of future staying put. And the author shows us two sides of Tasha Lem, as both a leader and a person. The evolution of their relationship is natural and beautifully done in the snippets of time through the ages, and though we know parts of the ending that is coming, it still has elements of surprise and emotion.
