When I moderated the Stranger Things panel at Paleyfest a year or so ago, I did. I told all those kids that the industry will do everything it can to take their childhoods away from them, and I encouraged them to resist its efforts to make them grow up before they are ready. I felt like most of them didn’t hear me, which was understandable. When I was their age, I wouldn’t hear me, either. But I hoped their parents were listening.

I worry about her a lot. She’s a smart and talented kid, but she was REALLY into being famous (which is totally normal; that attention feels good, especially when you’re a teenager) and seemed to be at risk of falling into a bad place. I hope she has good and honorable adults around her who care about her, and aren’t just trying to squeeze every penny out of her, like my parents did to me. If she and her parents aren’t careful, she could go full Lohan, and that would be a tragedy.

Congratulations

It’s time for another Series Spotlight. Today’s series is more along the lines of a ‘verse connected by a set of head canons. 

It all begins with A Long History by @jessalrynn​.

If you haven’t read this story, you need to. Young One meets Rose pre-”Rose,” and they fall in love. It’s a beautiful, glorious romance that sets up the most incredible set of head canons regarding bonding and time travel and who the Doctor and Rose are to each other. 

Please note: The story is 100% canon-compliant. That’s a slight spoiler, but since I didn’t warn the last person i recced the story to and they were... surprised... I feel like it’s a warning worth giving. Yes, this means she explains why they don’t know each other when Nine and Rose meet, but it also leads to a very incredible explanation of how Nine happened to be there just when Rose needed him, and that’s why I love this series so much.

There is a sequel, Relics of Eternity, which is currently abandoned. I live in hope of the day it is continued. 

So, if the only sequel is abandoned, how is this a series? On her ff.net profile page, there’s this list of all the stories that have references to the various head canons that make up A Long History. 

-Earliest known sighting of any of it: A Week in the Life

-Based on some of the ideas, but not completely official: Kallisti, They Wouldn't Dare, Chapters 5 & 8 of The Ends

-Makes vague mention: Different Morality , Wiggle Room

-Doesn't contradict and doesn't interfere with stated canon, call it mostly official: Misadventures in Babysitting

-Hint, Hint: A Member of the Wedding

Additionally, as a reader I feel that Double Crossing and Any Old Storm in a Port share one key head canon with the stories of the “A Long History” ‘verse. Double Crossing is one of my all-time favourite telepathic bonding fics, and probably my favourite accidental bond fic ever. Any Old Storm in a Port is its direct sequel. Both stories involve Rose meeting Classic Doctors, and the reason those bonus Doctors show up is why I feel like they’re connected to this series. 

Title: The Average Avenger

Thor stops when she places a hand on his arm.“What are you doing, Jane Foster?” 

She digs into her pocket, finding a quarter. “The meter’s out. I don’t want this person to get a ticket.” She pops the coin into the slot and turns the dial. “There. All better.” 

“You are entirely too good for Midgard.” He smiles at her fondly. 

“I’m not,” she protests. “I’m just your average Midgardian.” 

“Then I shall call you The Average Avenger.” 

He’s deadly serious but Jane busts out laughing. “I’ll take it!”
