To See a World

by GeneCooper

Gene Cooper is a lot of things. She's twice orphaned. Incredibly intelligent. She has no people skills. She's American. She can play the violin. She's never been fully alive. And she's terrified of elevators.
When she meets two strangers called Ianto and Jack, they assure her the elevator she's getting on is perfectly safe. They lied. Now she finds herself constantly falling into a certain blue box. She's just trying to figure out how the box works and navigating all her backwards meetings with the Doctor and his companions.
The Doctor's trying to figure out how to get Gene to really live, all while knowing her tombstone says she'll be dead in two years.
