I've been following a multi-chapter fic on the Spoon for a few weeks and, since the final chapter was posted today, it's time to rec it.

The story's called Two Months, by SanguineInk, and it's an adaptation of Army of Ghosts and Doomsday. The basic premise is this: what if Jackie had called Rose and the Doctor as soon as strange things started ( Read more... )

Standing awkwardly, his hands in his pockets, was a man about her age. He was rather normal-looking, very much human, wearing clothes that wouldn’t look out of place walking down the street on Leadworth. He had short, light-brown hair and a strong profile which might have seemed more commanding, if not for his self-effacing body language and ( Read more... )

I've just spent a very pleasant half-hour or so re-reading trobadora's Miracle series, and thought I really should tell my flist, particularly those who enjoy Ten/Jack but aren't following wintercompanion, how brilliant it is.

And I may or may not have an ulterior motive here, such as persuading trobadora to write the next instalment in the series sooner rather than later...

I'm reading a WIP over on the Teaspoon which is so good it just has to be recced. Rise and Fall, by Nixa Jane, is set in Jack's Torchwood not long after the end of DW S3 and the Year that Never Was. The author's summary:

Jack's been given a new assignment from the mysterious people behind the scenes of Torchwood: find the Doctor. But the Doctor's ( Read more... )

Posting here and linking to dark_aegis's LJ, where the rec list is being compiled - let's help dark_aegis collect a HUGE rec list of DW fic!

I'd like to gather a Doctor Who rec list. Not just for me to find something 'fun' to read, but also for everyone out there who might be interested. I know there are fics out there that I haven't read, but are most likely ( Read more... )

First, the fic rec: enterjonas, an author brand-new to Doctor Who, has posted his/her first fic on the Spoon. It's a vignette and character study of the Doctor as he advances through his remaining lives (with brief glimpses into the life of the half-human Doctor in Pete's World). I particularly love the author's imagining of Gallifreyan death rites ( Read more... )

For all Jack/Ten fans on my flist who haven't already seen this:  The Rest Is Silence, by kae_nine. This short ficlet is exactly how I would love Ten's regeneration to go, though of course I know it won't.

He’s dying tonight, but Jack’s holding him close. The redemption he’s been waiting for is here at last.

And I have reason to believe that kae_nine is working on a ( Read more... )

Just in case any of the Ten/Jack fans on my flist haven't seen it, I have to recommend this hilarious story:

What To Do On A Tuesday Evening...Ish by the lovely

A quick Ten/Jack fic rec:  Dance Before the Song Ends, by unfolded73, an author who doesn't normally write this pairing, so many on my flist who like Doctor/Jack fics may miss it.

It's single-part hurt-comfort, set post-CoE and in some time before the forthcoming DW specials. The Doctor and Jack run into each other, have dinner together (and more)  and talk ( Read more... )

There have been so, so many excellent post-CoE fics, many of which I've recced here, and most recently recced all over LJ (speedgeek's The Time Traveller's Daughter, which is well worth the read).  Here's another one, which I found this morning on the Teaspoon. Many of us - just like Gwen in CoE - have wondered why the Doctor never came to help. I do love dameruth' ( Read more... )
