Author: amatalefay
Rating: General audiences
Word Count: 253
Author's Summary:“Like, finally here's a poem that isn't just some bloke whining about how a beautiful girl won’t give him sex, and it's basically ‘sweet mother, I’m too gay to do my chores, blame Aphrodite’. Like, honestly? Most relatable thing I’ve read in years.”

Bill meets Sappho.

Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts, Bill/Sappho
Warnings: none

Reasons for reccing: This is everything a Doctor Who story should be, and everything a flash fiction story should be. A short peek into a fantastic historical story with plot and romance and snark and surprises. The voices are perfectly in character, and in all, it's brilliant. All that in 250 words.

Thank you for reccing that, I just read it and that was one of the best fics ever. I don't know why I didn't read it before! How can it be so amazing at just over 250 words?
