30 days of Doctor Who
Day 16 - Your Favorite Who-Related FanFic
How lucky we are that "favorite" is indefinite; it could mean one favorite or it could mean, er, five favorites.
In no particular order:
The Space Between Opposites, by Storyseller. (Ten/Simm!Master, teen)
This smart, challenging, exquisitely-crafted story explores the Master/Doctor relationship (post-LotTL AU) through the lens of the Gallifreyan language. Wonderfully layered and resonant.
The Unwritten History of the Time War by wishfulaces (Fitz Kreiner, Ninth Doctor, teen)
Five iterations of the Ninth Doctor coming back to find Fitz after the Time War. Mostly heartbreaking, all brilliant. This story was written for me in the EDA Ficathon, and I love it enormously.
Basic Physics, by Louisifer (Ten/Simm Master, adult)
One night on the Valiant, the Master explains the universe to the Doctor. Subtle, lovely, and heartbreaking.
A Moment's Grace, by Branwyn (Martha Jones, Second Doctor, teen)
Martha and the Second Doctor during the year that wasn't. This is a story about pain and comfort, but it avoids all the hurt/comfort cliches and offers wonderful insight into both characters.
British Summer Time, by Nostalgia. (Two, Jamie, Zoe, all ages)
The Second Doctor finally manages to take Zoe and Jamie to the beach. This story pokes a little gentle, affectionate fun at the characters, and is full of charm.
Hmm, I'm surprised by the preponderance of New Who fic on my list. Although considering how much more New Who fic gets written than Classic Who fic, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that New Who also has more really outstanding stories.
