Rec [Vid]: Gallifrey Falls No More by Margarita Life

Title: Gallifrey Falls No More
Creator: Margarita Life
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 5:12 minutes
Creator's Summary: I wanted to make this video for a long time. The theme of the Time War is one of the strongest in Doctor Who. And I really hope that I was able to show all the pain from what happened.
Characters/Pairing: The Doctor (9, 10, 11, 12 & War Doctor)
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is a brilliantly haunting, inspiring, and hopeful vid. It perfectly captures the Doctor’s trauma and anger over the Time War and the justification that he felt in committing it at the time. The vid portrays a really wonderful journey of the Doctor, from his destruction of the Time Lords to the day he decides to save them. I was never the greatest fan of the 50th Doctor Who special, and I still have some complicated feelings over it, but this vid gave me an appreciation and understanding of that episode and how it fit into the Doctor’s journey in a really enlightening and hopeful way.

Rec [Art/Comic]: Rewrite the Stars by Toradhart

Title: Rewrite the Stars
Creator: toradhart Toradhart
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 3 page comic
Creator's Summary: A comic commission done for one of my (amazing) patrons! I know next to nothing about Dr Who, so I’m honoured that she trusted me on the job nevertheless! Text and concept are hers and I drew it.
Characters/Pairing: River Song/Thirteenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: Takes place Post-Library and has the 13th Doctor visit River in her virtual world.

Reasons for reccing: I love the Doctor and the River's story and there are two things I want more than anything, for River Song to meet the Thirteenth Doctor and for the Doctor and River Song to get a happy ending. And this comic delivers both of those things and it does it beautifully. The art is utterly gorgeous and colorful and the story is utterly heartwarming and fluffy.
