Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor/Yasmin Khan
Warnings/Notes: Emotional Abuse and Dubious Consent. The Thirteenth Doctor is portrayed very darkly in this fic and is emotionally abusive to Yaz. There are several uncomfortable sex scenes where boundaries are not properly defined and the Doctor often oversteps those boundaries and Yaz often feels incapable of saying no to the Doctor even when she wants to.

Reasons for reccing: This is an absolutely brilliantly written fic. It is of a very dark nature and the Doctor in this fic is almost unrecognizable from the one we know in the show. Almost. It is a very difficult thing to twist a character so much but still make them feel true to themself and I feel like this writer has done that. The Doctor portrayed in this fic is selfish and emotionally abusive, but it never feels OOC and feels like a realistic dimension of the Doctor that could exist. This fic does a brilliant job of portraying the emotionally abusive relationship between the Doctor and Yaz with a lot of nuance and complexity, it feels incredibly real and raw. And I think it does a great job of representing the type of justifications that people do in such a relationship. It's a delightfully twisted and painful fic that treats its subject matter with great deftness.
