Rare Ships Month: The Tenth Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon

Hello everyone, my offering for the "Rare Ships Month" is Ten/Jamie.
To be quite honest, this pairing is rather new to me [just a few months or so -- the fault of this post actually], but I still find it very intriguing the more I think about it.
There is just something about the lightness and comraderie that Jamie had in his relationship with Two being a good healing touchstone for Ten that makes the two of them together so appealing to me the amount of sheer pretty does help as well, if I'm honest.
The two balance one another out in a way that I think Ten needs and, on the other hand, from a storytelling standpoint, Jamie brings out the angst in Ten is such a lovely way [I have a weakness for angsty!Ten, natch] due to such things as the horrific memory wipe Jamie suffered along with Zoe [unless you count season 6B, of course].
Plus, at the end of the day, there's a part of me that thinks Ten is still pining after Jamie, especially when he honoured his memory by calling himself "Dr. James McCrimmon" in "Tooth & Claw" [which, for me, made their love canon].
Anyway, sadly there isn't much out there in fandom for Ten/Jamie, so I wanted to collect what I could find here -- if you know of anything I missed, I'd love to hear about it.
I also wrote a small fanfic piece with the two of them as a contribution as well [which I have below] as my meta skills -- as evidenced above -- are sadly lacking.
First up, my own fanfic:
