Creator's Summary: Susan's Grandfather doesn't want to celebrate Christmas with her. That's okay. She has twelve-and a half-other Grandfathers who do. Featuring Doctors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 12, and 13, with appearances by Rose Tyler and River Song.
Characters/Pairing: Susan Foreman, All Doctors
Warnings/Notes: This fic was written before Peter Capaldi was chosen for the role of the Twelfth Doctor, so the Twelfth and Thirteenth Doctors who make an appearance in this fic are entirely original.

Reasons for reccing: This fic is just utterly beautiful and genius. The characterization is absolutely phenomenal and the writer does a brilliant job of creating their personalities and voices. The dialogue sound exactly like what these characters would say (for the characters I’m familiar with anyway). And the Doctors who I am unfamiliar with (2-8) are written so strongly that with minimal background knowledge they are just so clearly and beautifully crafted. This is the type of fic that I could easily see being a published Doctor Who work and its written so well and has such a beautiful concept that I could see it as a TV Christmas special (if getting all the actors wasn’t so difficult lol). Every line in this fic is just incredible. It’s one of my all time favorite Doctor Who fics and certainly my favorite Christmas-themed Doctor Who fic. This fic is a masterpiece to put it simply and I have no hesitation when I say that.

“I’ve missed you so much.”

“I’ve missed you too, my dear.”
Characters/Pairing: Susan Foreman & Twelfth Doctor
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: I love these photos and how they work together to tell a story with the first couple being their awkward meeting and then the last couple being their true reunion as they hug each other. I really wish the Twelfth Doctor had gotten to meet Susan and these cosplay photos do a great job of creating that meeting

Creator's Summary: Susan has nightmares. Or why and how the Doctor left Gallifrey, an in-depth exploration.
Characters/Pairing: Susan Foreman & First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: Pre-Canon, Gallifrey,

Reasons for reccing: This is a really lovely and haunting fic where the writer decides to fill in the blanks and tell us why Susan and the Doctor had to flee Gallifrey all those years ago. I love how the writer chooses to write this fic and the tone they maintain throughout—I think they found a very clever and fitting way of using Susan and the Doctor's names when they don't yet use them through the use of brackets that helps add to the tone. I love the author's characterization of Susan and I feel like this fic adds a new dimension to her character. She and the Doctor were atypical Time Lords and this fic really explores that and how they were isolated and ostracized on Gallifrey. It's a great story that is fantastically told with solid characterization. I think it is a slightly eerie tone that reminds me of the first episode, "An Unearthly Child."
