So, I was recently scrolling through my Goodreads lists, doing a little New Years cyberspace housekeeping, when I noticed a recurring theme in the book covers on both my favorites shelf (202 and counting) and my to-read shelf (329 and counting). Particularly in regards to books I'd decided were omg-I've-gotta-read-that material even before I'd read the summary.

Title: She Gave More Than I
Author:

Disclaimer: I claim no ownership of The Squire's Tales series. All rights and recreant knights belong to Gerald Morris and his respective publishers.
Spoilers: Books 1-2
Rating: PG/K+
Genre: Drama/Romance/Angst/Pre-canon
Word Count: 1,300
Summary: “Your face is the face of a faery, my son. But your selfless heart is the gift of your mother. As always, she has given more than I.” - From The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady
Author's Notes: We learn very little about Terence's mother in canon, and I've always been curious about the human girl who so enchanted Ganscotter. She's described in the books as being a gentle peasant girl from Yorkshire, but in the tradition of Morris's canon female characters, I aimed to make her just a little bit tougher and more independent than the term gentle might encompass. However, I hope you still enjoy my interpretation. :)
Apologizes for any historical inaccuracies that may or may not be deliberate. Since ST is obviously not a historical series, I went more for simply entertaining than factually precise.
Also, fair warning, this one's a tear-jerker, folks.
Enjoy!

Last sunday's episode of Leverage, The Radio Job, nearly gave me a heart attack. Not to mention a much loved fangirlish Doctor Who reference. Ah, John Rogers... "Let's go steal a time machine!"
Note--1962 is the year just before the original Doctor Who series premiered. And yes, that is the original theme song playing in the background.
