Recuperation

Recuperation is the second story in The Academic Series, written by LizzeXX, and is a rewrite of British show Doctor Who's Series 3. The story follows original character the Professor, a Time Lady from the planet Gallifrey, the Doctor's oldest friend and, as of the end of chapter 1, The Runaway Bride, his Bonded. With the loss of Rose to Pete's World, the two Time Lords can finally act on their feelings for each other and Bond as they promised to do on Gallifrey, taking on medical student Martha Jones as a companion along the way. But all progress the Professor makes overcoming the fears and insecurities her ninth incarnation bestowed on her as the story progresses is lost when she is forced to regenerate into her militaristic and closed-off tenth incarnation, the aftermath of being tortured by the Master during the Year-That-Never-Was.

The story was received favorably by the FanFiction community, despite general reader preference to avoid stories with OCs, though it is less popular than the previous story in the series, Reunion, having gotten nearly 300 favorites, 90 follows and about 160 reviews to date by fans of the site.

Recuperation has been rated T by the author and is listed under the Romance and Adventure genres of the site. It has 14 chapters, each equaling one episode from Series 3, including The Runaway Bride, with a word count of 117,387 words (including Author's Notes at the beginning of the story and the end of each chapter). The first chapter was uploaded on FanFiction on April 22nd, 2012, and was updated daily until May 5th. The next story, Relapse, was uploaded the same day the story ended.
