BOP Recs List
I conducted a little search tonight for Doctor Who fics featuring bisexual/pansexual characters, and I must say: I am heartened by the results! They do exist! \0/
(Highlight of my search? I found many more "Rory is bisexual" fics I hadn't read before. Disappointing? No "Amy is bisexual" fics! Must remedy this soon...)
The list is (by no means) exhaustive: just what I was able to find in an hour or so of searching things like "Doctor Who, bisexual" in various places. I did my best to confirm that each fic meets the guidelines for this comm, but I did not read the entirety of each one of them.
Fics are in no particular order. (Actually, they're in the order in which I found them.)
Only minimal information on each story is provided here! For full details and WARNINGS, please read the header information provided before the work itself.
