Can I Get That With A Pump of Ginger Beer Syrup? by KaylieMalinza
She's still irked that her suggestion of "an intergalactic chip shop" was so readily dismissed. Sarah Jane and the Doctor end up in an intergalactic Starbucks, where Sarah Jane experiences an existential crisis and the Doctor says something silly.
~2000 words, humour, Four, Sarah

Why you'd like it: I'm really very fond of the way this fic is written, with a sort of rambling narration that adds a subtle, dry humour to the story. You might notice that this is the first Classic Who fic I've recced, which is sadly due to my own general incompetence regarding the original series. Having said that, Sarah Jane is an adorably inquisitve character in this, exactly in keeping with what I have seen of her from the old series, and easy to imagine growing into the Sarah we meet in New Who. The Doctor, too, feels just right. It's a simple story but cute, memorable because of the style KaylieMalinza uses. Plus, intergalactic Starbucks.

Why you might not: I imagine if you're here for Doctor Who recs you're probably primarily interested in the new series, otherwise you'd have left by now. I've also only seen a total of one serial with Sarah Jane and about half a serial with Four, so what I percieve as very in-character may not be. Er. And maybe the thought of Starbucks eventually becoming an intergalactic enterprise makes you a little nauseus.

Like a rec, or don't? Tell us! And don't forget to leave the original author feedback.
