Author Summary: When Jack is arrested by the Time Agency for a deed that he can't remember, the Doctor and Rose are left behind to try and find out what really happened in those two years missing from Jack's timeline.

Review: There's something hauntingly beautiful about this fic. Poetry brings Beta Aquarii, sister planet to Jack's home, to life with her vivid descriptions and her spot-on characterization of both canon and original characters, and her relationships are almost painfully real.

This is technically the second part of a series titled simply 'fem!Doctor', in which the Doctor is (and always has been) a woman up to and including her ninth regeneration. I've included every part of this series below, though they do not need to be read to understand and enjoy Hangman (though they are thoroughly enjoyable as well and as a bonus they bring the series up to 50,000 words). In fact, Hangman falls somewhere in the middle of Mad Girl's Love Song which is the first installation of the series.

It's not a problem at all! I love your fic, and it totally deserves it. Mikaëla is probably the coolest OC I've read in Who-fandom yet, she makes me grin like a madwoman. And your fem!nine is just an awesome idea.

So, yeah. It deserves to be recced.
