3.5

A collection of short stories about various Doctor Who companions and adjacent characters, before they became companions, often as children. Not quite what it says on the tin; there's a very high ratio of memory wipes involved. Varying quality and the character voices aren't all there, but there's some gems; the Amy/Rory story (The Girl Who Tore Through The Universe) was my favorite.
