Creator: vandonovan)
Rating: - (would fall under General, I guess)
Word Count/Length/Size: -
Creator's Summary: The Second Doctor and Jamie McCrimmon.
Characters/Pairings: Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon

Reasons for reccing: A beautiful, beautiful drawing of the Second Doctor and Jamie almost kissing. The theme for this month was romance, and I'm deeply, deeply in love with Second Doctor/Jamie as a ship, so naturally I'm going to have to rec some works for that pairing (stand prepared, there will be more). Here is one of my favourite pieces of Two/Jamie fan art, by Van Donovan who's also written some lovely fics for that pairing. I utterly adore this picture - the style is so beautiful, a bit dreamy, both characters look great, and the almost-kiss position is lovely. And I think I've put in enough generally enthusiastic adjectives into one paragraph now.

Title: Starburn
Creator: <Eggling
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1,265 words I've no idea why, but AO3 doesn't show a word count for it. Probably somewhere in the range of 1,000 words, though.
Creator's Summary: “Tonight was meant to be special."

“I’m on another planet, watchin’ two stars crash into each other, with the time-travelling alien I’m a wee bit in love with. I dinnae see how that’s not special.”

The Doctor and Jamie watch a cosmic event - from inside a prison cell.
Characters/Pairings: Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: Another for the romance theme and my beloved Two/Jamie pairing. This is a recent, quite adorable little fic where they're actually trying to be on a date, but of course things haven't gone as planned, because this is the Doctor we're talking about. Also the Doctor's ideas of a date are a bit more grandiose than your average "restaurant and candlelight" scenario. As they would be. I have a special soft spot for stories that combine the inevitable chaos and frolic and humour of life around the Doctor with some sweet romantic fluff, and this definitely fits the bill.
