Title: Bill and Heather
Creator: mogamoka)
Rating: -
Word Count/Length/Size: -
Creator's Summary: Bill - and Heather.
Characters/Pairings: Bill Potts (+ implied Bill/Heather)

Reasons for reccing: Bill Potts standing in the rain, and smiling. A truly lovely piece of Bill artwork, featuring that lovely, hopeful smile of hers that fills every place with light. The artist has occasionally been employed even for official Doctor Who related things, such as some of the recent 'Women Who Lived' material, and looking at how wonderful her stuff is, I don't wonder why. (And no, you don't actually see Heather the girl in the picture, but well, she is present...) For my "female-centric" challenge claim.

Rec [fic]: Evening Classes, by El Staplador (elstaplador)

Title: Evening Classes
Creator: e]> elstaplador
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 2368 words
Creator's Summary: "Life goes on. It has to. You can't just sit around waiting for someone to come back from outer space. You just get on with it." Spoilers up to and including The End of Time.
Characters/Pairings: Donna Noble, Isobel Watkins. (plus some Isobel/OFC, past Zoe/Isobel)

Reasons for reccing: For the monthly challenge of minor/guest characters, I wanted to look up Isobel Watkins fics, because Isobel is amazing and I'm currently rewatching The Invasion, and I found this treasure. It's a touching, wonderful story where post-S4 Donna is attending evening school and becomes friends with Isobel Watkins, now a well-known photographer who is teaching in that school. I love this exploration of what they both could become after their canon, and it feels healing and comforting in the face of certain elements of canon.

This rec happens to fulfill both the minor/guest characters and the 10th Doctor era monthly themes, as well as my female-centric challenge claim.
