Lyricwritesprose has done it again.

Her latest story, Practical Mythology, is another look at a scenario that's been covered many times in post-The Doctor Dances fic, that of Jack discovering, and reacting to, the fact that the Doctor is a Time Lord. Reacting, in this story, in a way he wouldn't expect: as the summary puts it,

Jack Harkness is a ( Read more... )

For anyone on my flist who enjoys both Sherlock and Doctor Who, this fic is not to be missed!

Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Blue Box, by yamx

It's a Sherlock/DW crossover, as is fairly obvious, and written for me as the result of a fandom auction. I asked for Sherlock meeting the Doctor and for once finding himself not the cleverest person in ( Read more... )

I have a feeling that this one may end up on many rec lists ;)

If you're a fan of Wilf, and especially if you're also a fan of the Eleventh Doctor, you really, really need to read this story.

Boxing Day - not a particularly unique or original title - has Wilf on holiday courtesy of Donna and Shaun, and hating every minute of it. Part of it's because ( Read more... )

There has been a lot of death-of-the-Brigadier fics lately, as is only to be expected and entirely deserved, too, given Nicholas Courtney's contribution to Doctor Who. But, in my opinion, this one is the best I've read. A Final Toast, by MinervaFan, starts with Jo, Liz and Sarah attending the Brigadier's funeral, and thereafter adjourns to Liz's ( Read more... )

Have you ever seen a fic that contains a pairing you've never thought of, instinctively think you're not interested as you ship half the pairing with someone else, but decide to glance at it anyway because you're mildly intrigued?

Well, I just did that. The pairing is post-CoE Jack Harkness... and 1941, just post-TDD Nancy.

In The Captain Dances, by ( Read more... )

That fic I  recced a couple of days ago, Mercy of the Fallen by tardis_stowaway? Chapter one is now up on her journal. And it's awesome!

Run, don't walk, and read it now!

I've just had the absolute privilege of beta-reading an absolutely enthralling four-chapter fic by tardis_stowaway. It's Jack and Doctor-centric, and called Mercy of the Fallen. Imagine a post-456 Jack stumbling on an immediately-post Time War Nine. Yeah. About as angsty and heart-wrenching as you think, but also laden with so many beautiful and even humorous ( Read more... )

A quick fic rec from the 'Spoon:

The One With the Cotton Candy and the Batteries, by BananaQaiquiri

It's 2012, and Mickey Smith is minding his own business as he hunts down acceptable snacks in the supermarket - until he's accosted at the checkout by a man in black leather with big ears wanting to borrow a quid. While the Doctor wants to know what ( Read more... )

Spotted on a story on Teaspoon:

For all on my flist who don't read Doctor/Rose or aren't on time_and_chips, an utterly hilarious short fic by roachpatrol:

Eight Days a Week

Picture this: Rose and the Duplicate Doctor are living in the nice universe. The one with all the friendly aliens. The one where no-one tries to blow anyone up, and when an alien race wants to challenge the Earth for rights to the ( Read more... )
