Chapter Text

Katarina was never supposed to be anyone important and that was no great tragedy. There was no grand story to be told about her life. If there was anything to be told, it was that the Gods had destined it to be brief, a wave against the shore. It was her fate and she saw no reason to lament it.

But then a blue box came to her city and a mysterious stranger emerged, and fate rippled, their mere presence forever altering her fate.

She fell out of the world and into a place where the most impossible and frightening and wonderful things could occur, where all the rules were broken and a new and remarkable world revealed itself to her, so much stranger and brilliant than any of the stories she had heard.

She was never supposed to be important but here is her story anyway, preserved, her name etched down and remembered across the stars, her deeds preserved in myth. Her name, Katarina.

Notes:

Welcome to the fic! Don't want to swamp the prologue with a long note but just want to say that Katarina was long overdue a fic that centred around her so here it is!
