   Summary

   The Doctor is a shell-shocked being stuck in, what appears to be, a vicious cycle of loss. After months of traveling the universe with sadness as his sole companion, he happens upon a precious Southern Belle named Martha Jones who's found herself at Royal Hope London circa 1987, becoming one of the hospital's first black junior physicians. A pleasant surprise find the unlikely pair traversing not only the universe together, but the muddy waters of emotional co-dependence and grief while trying to figure out who they, themselves, actually are.
