Word Count/Length/Size: 2k words
Creator's Summary: The key became part of the story, of course. The Doctor leaves more than just Susan behind.
Characters/Pairings: Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright/Ian Chesterton
Warnings/Notes: Major character death

Reasons for reccing: An interesting diversion from canon (starting notice an interesting pattern here). It's beautifuly written.

Title: The Wright Stuff
Creator: Tim Pieraccini (he has a Twitter account,

tjpieraccini)
Rating: none given, I would say Teen and Up
Word Count/Length/Size: around 134k words
Creator's Summary: This began life as a Doctor Who idea. That’s not how it ended up. There is some Doctor Who content, but those looking for much evidence of the Doctor himself will be disappointed. Those interested in a slightly different take on the early years of Who and a view of the universe that is considerably older than the 745 years the Hartnell Doctor was supposed to carry might find the book interesting. (If nothing else, you could test your knowledge of sixties culture on the chapter headings; they’re all song titles or lyrics or film titles from ’67 or before. There is a note at the end to identify them for anyone who cares, but I’d advise against reading it beforehand if you wish to avoid a fairly major spoiler towards the end.)

Oh, and about the title. I know. It was a working title, and it kind of stuck. Be grateful; I did consider calling it "Barbara Cutaway".
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright, original characters, Ian Chesterton (cameo)
Warnings/Notes: character death, mentions of adult situations and minor sexuality, and 1960s-isms.

Reasons for reccing: It's dense, very interesting, and long. Your main (original) character is a bit of a prick who wants to be an author, and slowly gets to know a mysterious older woman who may or may not have met aliens (and is very esoteric). Guess who that woman is. Don't think I've ever read anything like it.
Also it took me years to find it in full.

Creator's Summary: Ian tells his children how their mother saved him and Susan from the clutches of a madwoman with the very best of intentions.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Susan Foreman
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is a fun story of an alien world where all of Ian's assumptions about how the world works is the wrong way around. Also a very traditional story of Ian getting himself in trouble.

Title: Things Unsaid

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 2k words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barbara deal with an accident. Which perhaps wasn't terribly accidental.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright/Ian Chesterton
Warnings/Notes: n/a

Reasons for reccing: It's "Aliens Made Us Do It"! But it's not the "it" you were expecting. I love trope subversion and characters talking feelings to one another, and this one is *chef's kiss*. Also the ending is very funny.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/4426013

Note: As I'm preparing these in advance, it occurred to me I should be checking for repeats. And, turns out, this one was already recced. My apologies. It shan't happen again.

Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton
Warnings/Notes: n/a

Reasons for reccing: Interesting use of the (lack of) translation device in the TARDIS, plus an interesting setting and a bit of timey-wimey shenanigans. It's also very funny.

Rec [art]: untitled by arrozbrillante

Title: untitled (a scene from Farewell Great Macedon)
Creator:

arrozbrillante
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: several panels
Creator's Summary: i shall never loom another child again
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton (minor Barbara/Ian)
Warnings/Notes: Mentions of death. It appears the original post was deleted, but the piece was saved through reblogs. So, the link posted will be from one of said reblogs.

Reasons for reccing: Farewell Great Maceson is great, and arrozbrillante's interpretation of this scene is fantastic. It's cartoony and animated and also never fails to make me smile. Love Susan's "Puss in Boots-esque face. This team has come such a long way.
(Also Ian's little blush. Thought it was a nice little touch.)

Characters/Pairings: Susan Foreman, Ping Cho

Reasons for reccing: The relationship between Susan and Ping Cho is great, and this is a bit of a different take. They're both older and wondering what became of each other, and it's a nice character piece.

Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a short, amusing fic with the Doctor being his imperious self and Ian being cynical about the Doctor's abilities. And then getting roped into doing something he doesn't want to.

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 3144 words
Creator's Summary: You know, I acquired that ulster from Gilbert and Sullivan. -- The First Doctor, "Edge of Destruction."
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Eighth Doctor, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Eleventh Doctor, Twelfth Doctor, Thirteenth Doctor, Susan Foreman, Jamie McCrimmon, Jo Grant, Romana II, K9, Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken, Ace McShane, Grace Holloway, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, Donna Noble
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Because it's funny. It has a trending theme, which leads to the reveal of how the First Doctor ended up with that ulster. Despite it all being from Gilbert or Sullivan's point of view, you can still tell which Doctors and companions are which from what they do and how their clothing is described.

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a lot like a classic adventure, with the team being split up and the Doctor solving a mystery. It's a really interesting alien planet and alien creatures with some amusing misunderstandings.

Creator's Summary: Ian and Barbara deal with an accident. Which perhaps wasn't terribly accidental.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Susan Foreman, First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Aliens made us do it is my second favourite trope. My favourite is subverting/changing it in some way. I've re-read this fic many times because I really love it. It's interesting to see how Barbara and Ian deal with the situation they're in and their feelings about it. And the ending, which reveals what might be really going on makes the whole thing much more fun.

Rec [fic]: Bright Star by eponymous_rose

Title: Bright Star
Creator:

eponymous_rose
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 7572 words
Creator's Summary: Marshellian Paston's Fifteenth Theorem of Time Travel states that any two persons travelling through time are slightly more likely to meet from a probabilistic standpoint, within a margin of error described by a hypercube with complex dimensions; Ian, Barbara and Sarah Jane Smith give Marshellian Paston something to write home about.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Sarah Jane Smith, Susan Foreman, First Doctor, Third Doctor, Harry Sullivan, Luke Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a companions meeting story with a twist. Because it's in reverse order it makes it interesting as Sarah knows more about Ian and Barbara to start with and later Ian and Barbara know more about Sarah. It involves exactly the sort of adventures you expect from people travelling with the Doctor. And it's just beautifully written. Everyone's perfectly in character and there's some lovely description to set the tone.
