Oh God, Viva Laughlin is even more horrid than I thought possible. Thanks for making Peter creepy and giving the role of Natalie to someone who can't act, guys. Oh, and for making Danny Jack straight. Us Blackpool fans really appreciate it.
(Oh, for fuck's sake, they're using "Fat Bottom Girls" for the heavy girl, and actually have the audacity for the ugly accountant to look disgusted at the idea of her taking off her top. Fuck. off.)
ANYWAY. Let's move onto something less revolting. Some fantastic Doctor Who recs, maybe?
+ Ten (pun kinda-sorta intentional) Doctor Who story recs +
01.
Day is done. by

Terrific Super Thoughts by
orange_crushed (Ten/Rose, PG-13)
"Like comets or asteroids. Strawberry jam. Thank God you don't taste like Bakelite."
"I haven't- wait. Yes. Who told you?"
"Tommy," she grins. "Said you licked it like a spoon. You nutter." Set after "The Idiot's Lantern."
05.
Crossing the Bar by
smithy161 (Ten/Jack, NC-17)
The Tenth Doctor is visited by a version of Jack far older than even he can imagine. Jack has come back to say two things; 'thank you' and 'I'm sorry'.

07.
Neverland by
orange_crushed (Rose-centric, Ten/Rose, PG)
"You'll see," Jackie says, sagely. She nods towards the next room, where Pete is sprawled on the sofa, matching his second daughter snore-for-snore while the evening news blares around them. "Life goes by, things happen- what you'll really want is a good, steady man who'll rub your feet."
[the wendy/peter pan parallels = ♥♥♥]
08.
Young Lions by
orange_crushed (The Doctor & The Master, PG)
They're the cleverest boys at school.
"No, you're not," says their professor, who is wrinkled as a page and has begun to smell like the looms he was strung from. "You only *think* you are."
It makes no difference. Set pre-series.
09.
