Creator's Summary: Romana, Leela and Narvin step through the portal into an alternate Gallifrey. Things start to go downhill from there.
Characters/Pairings: Romana II, Leela, Narvin
Warnings/Notes: canon-typical violence, torture & suffering

Reasons for reccing: It's a great day when you wake up to find someone has out of the blue posted a brand-new 10k+ story in your favorite small fandom. This is the author's first fic in the fandom, apparently, and what a debut! It's a story set during Gallifrey series 4, largely building on the aftermath of the spoilery thing that happens to Narvin in Reborn, but it does a fantastic job exploring the character of each member of the trio and strengthening the relationships between them. (Honestly, from the beginning of it I expected it to be mainly Narvin Must Suffer, and while he does indeed suffer I was blown away at how well-balanced among the three of them the fic felt.) The worldbuilding of the alternate Gallifrey is also fascinating, and plays on the symbolism and themes introduced in the show in some really interesting ways.

I'm also going to try to make it fit the TV Tropes Challenge theme "Decoy Getaway," in that there are both lookalikes and getaways, although the lookalikes do make the getaway harder, unfortunately for our heroes.

Reasons for reccing: As soon as I saw this month's theme, I thought of Doccywhomst's version of Six's blue coat. It's so chaotic and vivid and glowing and fun, and unlike the simplified animation in Real Time, it's just as ridiculous as the TV costume--just in shades of blue. In this portrait piece, he's back-to-back with an equally chaotic and gorgeous portrait of Four. It's a very Doctorish piece of art.

Also, his lapel pin is a cat with a knife.

Creator's Summary: Romana runs herself into the ground. The Doctor is less than impressed.
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor/Romana II
Warnings/Notes: portrayal of PTSD

Reasons for reccing: I've personally written over half the Seven/Romana tag, having fallen hard for this particular combination, but I'm not the only one! This follows up on the Big Finish audio The Apocalypse Element, but detailed knowledge of that audio isn't required for the fic--just the context that Romana was a Dalek prisoner on Etra Prime for twenty years, she was rescued by the Doctor, they never had a proper talk, and now she's the Lord President.

This is a fix-it for the lack of closure between them in TAE, an exploration of Romana's motivations and issues with Gallifrey, and a showcase of all the ways in which the Doctor and Romana are actually kind of incompatible--and why they're still somehow perfect for each other. The Seventh Doctor and Romana II feel so well-matched to me, true equals, the President of Gallifrey and Time's Champion, who have been through so much separately and together.

This fic is wonderfully angsty but the ending is soft and lovely, especially if you, like Romana, need a hug.

Characters/Pairings: Evelyn Smythe, Sixth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: It's a wonderfully expressive black & white sketch or illustration of the two of them - Evelyn, busy inside with a book, but the Doctor's waiting outside in the rain. It's excellent (and, with the weather starting to pour, and things about to change, seasonal, too, I think).

Reasons for reccing: A brilliant and well written crossover that makes both canons feel like they fit together seamlessly. The voices and interactions are spot-on, not just for Janeway and several versions of the Doctor, whose scenes go from serious to funny and back, but also for all the small appearances by companions and Voyager crew members. There's a lot of humour and great timing, and I really like its little meta aspect when it lets Janeway and the Doctor talk about interfering in other peoples' business and travel options.

Warnings/Notes: Contains some explicit sex between Eight and Jamie.

Reasons for reccing: Both for the monthly theme of multi-era, and for the seasonal challenge (due to being of type slash, and Jamie/Eight is a rare pairing, and also Charley Pollard as a character, though she's only got a fairly short part in this). I did kind of promise to bring more explicit slash on board, among other things. ;-) Anyway, I have a fondness not only for Two/Jamie but also for Jamie getting... involved with other, later Doctors. This my favourite story of that specific type, being fun, feel-good and feeling true to the characters. I loved reading it even before I was at all familiar with Eight, but now that I know him (and Charley) from the audios, it's even more fun.

Characters/Pairings: most female companions from both the Classic and New series of Doctor Who


Reasons for reccing: This is a whole fan art series too lovely to choose just one or two in it, so I'm going to post links to several of my favourites under the cut (since you could do that when you're fulfilling a challenge!) and from them, you can click on your favourites and, if you want, you can easily access the gallery to see even more of them. These are quite exquisite drawings of most of the female companions in Doctor Who, pictured with larger-than-life flowers chosen to match their personality, appearance, colours etc. While combining female characters with flowers may sound very traditional, the characters possess all the vividness, strength and energy they have in the series - the flowers seem to represent vitality and growth rather than any excessive fragility or some such. Many of the pictures are my favourite fan arts ever of those characters.

For my "female-centric" challenge claim before the seasonal challenge ends!

Lots of lovely pictures of lovely female characters )
