(Alphabet Soup M!)

Title: Meet Me At Midnight

Creator:vvj5

Rating: All Ages

Word Count/Length/Size: 2031

Creator's Summary: “They always want you to go alone when you're walking into a trap. Have you noticed that?”

Characters/Pairings:Harry Sullivan, K-9, Leela, Romana I, Romana II, Sarah Jane Smith, The Doctor (4th)
Notes/Warnings: None

Reasons for reccing: These scenarios are In-character and brilliant. (favorite is Sarah Jane) The author captures the iconic feel of Four's era and these feel like actual Missing Scenes. (although honestly the Doctor never quite learns from these experiences)

Title: The Inestimable Value of a Good Pair of Shoes
Creator:

aces
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 3418 words
Creator's Summary: Harry Sullivan, a man who knows the fine art of shoe loss and replacement.
Characters/Pairings: Harry Sullivan, The Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Bernice Summerfield
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a fun idea, with Harry ending up losing his shoes in all sorts of situations. Although that might sound silly, it all works perfectly with the situation and the sort of man Harry is.

Title: Here Be Dragons!
Creator: MinervaFan
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 4665 words
Creator's Summary: In order to get a rare substance for the TARDIS, Harry and Sarah must get married. Too bad the Doctor didn't give them much advance warning.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith/Harry Sullivan, Sarah Jane Smith/Fourth Doctor
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: It has fun playing with the fake marriage trope. It is just the sort of thing the Doctor would set up without considering how Sarah or Harry feel about the whole thing. It's a good way to see how Harry and the Doctor both feel about about Sarah. It's also in character and as well as being an amusing situation, the narration is amusing too.

Title: The Freedom of Lindos
Creator:

llywela
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 57,444 words
Creator's Summary: En route to Scotland, the TARDIS accidentally lands the Doctor, Sarah and Harry in the middle of a desperate struggle for freedom on the other side of the galaxy
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a lovely long story with an interesting plot about the people of the planet Lindos and what's being done to them. There's plenty for the Doctor, Sarah and Harry to do in it, using their particular skills. The characterisation of the three main characters is spot on and the original characters and their races are fleshed out and interesting.

Title: The Amazon
Creator: neveralarch

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Word Count/Length/Size: 9373

Creator's Summary: Jo made a poor choice in husbands, the Master made a poor choice in building materials, and the Doctor's gone off in a scarf.

Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor/The Master (Delgado)

Warnings/Notes: Lots of scheming.

Reasons for reccing: Another classic. Hilarious friendship between Jo and the Master. A bonus with the Doctor being an absolute menace!

Title: Like Nobody's Watching
Creator:

Andraste
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 5568 words
Creator's Summary: The Doctor has been dancing for a long time.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Barabara Wright/Ian Chesterton, Jamie McCrimmon, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Second Doctor, John Benton, Third Doctor, Romana I, Fourth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Vislor Turlough, Fifth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, Sixth Doctor, Melanie Bush, Seventh Doctor, C'Rizz, Eighth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Beautiful, thoughtful, and heart-warming multi-era fic in which the Doctor dances with his companions across all his incarnations (up to the point when this was written). It's a light and fun read, but explores various relationships with depth, accuracy and heart, and everything comes together in deftly circular way at the end.

Title: The thoroughly decent Harry Sullivan!
Creator:

chocolatesal
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 4:24 minutes
Creator's Summary: Someone suggested to me that Harry was a bit of a useless companion so I decided that he deserved his own video to prove how great he (and Ian Marter) really were! All Copyright - BBC
Characters/Pairings: Harry Sullivan, Sarah Jane Smith, Fourth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This vid picks out all the times when Harry was at all heroic and makes it look like the whole time Harry was around he was being the hero. It's nicely edited so the visual matches to the words in the music. It's a fun reminder of how great Harry was.

Title: Tardis through the Ages
Creator:

umanimo
Rating: Gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 11 Paintings
Creator's Summary: -
Characters/Pairings: Doctors One to Eleven, Tardis
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is such a fantastic series of paintings. I love all the different styles - so well executed, so many great ideas and details! - and I love that Umanimo didn't just go for a chronological order here but put all the Doctors in time periods and art styles that seem like a good fit for them. Six Kandinsky Style? Cubist Eleven? Flute-playing Two on a Greek Vase? Klimt Style Eight? Graffiti Nine? All of them work beautifully and it's a joy to look at the whole series.

Reccing this for the monthly History Theme - it's kind of Art History, but it's also easy to imagine the Doctors all visiting "their" time period and being immortalized by the local artist. :-D

Title: Doctor Hoo -- Four & Sarah Jane
Creator: Marker-Mistress
Rating: General audiences
Word Count: n/a
Creator's Summary: Another piece to melt your hearts, Four and Sarah Jane!
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith, Fourth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:

Continuing on with my Sarah Jane Smith character claim, here's Sarah and the Fourth Doctor drawn as owls. It's just adorable.

(If you like this, check out more of Marker-Mistress' work, because they've drawn other Doctors and companions as owls, too.)

Title: Gearbox (The Won't Miss a Piece Remix)

Creator: neveralarch

Rating: All Ages

Word Count/Length/Size: 6103

Creator's Summary: "How does the TARDIS work?” asks Ace.

Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Barbara Wright, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Erimem, Hex Schofield, Ian Chesterton, Jamie McCrimmon, Mel Bush, Romana II, Susan Foreman, The Doctor (1st), The Doctor (2nd), The Doctor (3rd), The Doctor (4th), The Doctor (5th), The Doctor (6th), The Doctor (7th)

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: The TARDIS is a ridiculous, wonderful place to live in, because - at least according to this fic - it only works according to how its inhabitants think it should work. And I think that's wonderful. This fic is a gorgeous fluffy romp through the inner workings of the TARDIS, with flashback cameos from just about every Classic era Doctor. And of course, it's framed by the storylet of Ace adjusting to life in the TARDIS, and some lovely flashes of insight into her relationship with the Doctor. Plus, the humor in it is wonderful, and so is the characterization - there are some really good lines in there.

Title: Morph
Creator:

carcaneloce
Rating: gen
Creator's Summary: (First time trying morphing technique.)
Characters/Pairings: The Fourth Doctor, Romana, Osgood, Zygon
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: Really cool, animated watercolour art. I really like how this uses the Fourth Doctor's scarf as a link to connect the characters and eras.

Title: La Vie Boheme
Creator: Doctor Tam | Solo By Choice
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 2075 words
Creator's Summary: A non-linear character study: "He composes a symphony for accordion and dog whistle, goes pike fishing in the Thames, and gets a sunburn on his nose. After all, the universe isn't his responsibility."
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, Leela, Romana I, Romana II, K9.
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Wonderful, funny, and bittersweet non-linear look at Four, and the events and people that make up his incarnation. It's lovely, and the out of order nature of it is completely perfect, both in the bits that make it funnier and the bits that make it hurt the harder.
