For the "War & Peace" square on my bingo Card.

Title: A Winter's Tale
Creator: jjpor | JJPOR
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 8164 words
Creator's Summary: In the deep midwinter, frosty winds will blow, but for the Doctor and Ace it's just another day at the office. Or is it?
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane
Warnings/Notes: Brief bit of swearing.

Reasons for reccing: It's a bit unseasonal perhaps, but it was the fic I thought of immediately on seeing the prompt. Ace doesn't do Christmas, but the Doctor wants to change that, and goes about it in his usual twisty sort of way, taking her back to a certain moment in the trenches in WWI. It's just perfect in so many ways, from the characterisation of the two of them, the treatment of the historical period, and manages to be properly aww-worthy without being in the least bit treacly or sentimental. If you haven't read any of JJPOR's stuff before, you've been missing out.

Oh hey, it's one of my favorite fics! Thank you for giving me the incentive to go read it again, I love it very much. Their voices are just spot-on, aren't they?

They are! JJ always does Seven and Ace very well - if you love it that much, you should tell him so; I know he'd be very glad to hear it.
