Rec [Fic]: La Vie Boheme by Doctor Tam

[thisbluespirit]

Title: La Vie Boheme
Creator: Doctor Tam | Solo By Choice
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 2075 words
Creator's Summary: A non-linear character study: "He composes a symphony for accordion and dog whistle, goes pike fishing in the Thames, and gets a sunburn on his nose. After all, the universe isn't his responsibility."
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Leela, Romana I, Romana II, K9.
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Wonderful, funny, and bittersweet non-linear look at Four, and the events and people that make up his incarnation. It's lovely, and the out of order nature of it is completely perfect, both in the bits that make it funnier and the bits that make it hurt the harder.

Title: The Road Not Travelled
Creator: wendymr
Rating: PG
Word Count/Length/Size: ~ 4.300 words
Creator's Summary: He should have died today.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Jack Harkness
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: I like that this is a fic about two battle-worn people - for Jack it's post-Children-of-Earth, for the Doctor post-End-of-Time - and that Jack has very legitimate questions to ask the Doctor. The way it deals with their history felt right to me and the ending is lovely.
