Title: The Worst Doctor Who Story Ever
Creator: Astrid
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 608
Creator's Summary: For April Fools Day, I present something I wrote last year as a parody of all the bad Doctor Who fics (well, bad fics in general). I'm very sorry about this, I really am.

Characters/Pairings:  Ace McShane, Adric, Leela, Mel Bush, Peri Brown, Romana II, The Doctor (8th), The Doctor (Other), The Master (Other), The Rani, The Silurians, The Valeyard, The Yeti
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Yes, that's the actual title. It's a parody of bad fic: the funniest and most accurate parody I think I've ever read. I honestly don't know how much I can say here without spoiling it. But we all have come across fic like this at some point.

Title: May Contain Multitudes
Creator: [Bad username or unknown identity:  ]
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1358
Creator's Summary: Three's a crowd, but it could be worse, as the Doctor finds out...
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor, Adric, Nyssa of Traken, Tegan Jovanka, several companion cameos
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the Companions theme. This is an interesting idea. And it's fun trying to figure out who everyone is. :P This feels like something out of Big Finish

Title: Can't Take Them Anywhere
Creator: Lissy Strata
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 642
Creator's Summary:Can the TARDIS crew manage at least one trip without getting into trouble?
Characters/Pairings: Adric, Nyssa, Tegan Jovanka, The Doctor (5th)
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Monthly Theme. This is funny and adorable. Considering Five during s19 feels a lot like a harried dad, this works.

Title: The Creeping Terror
Creator:

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1270 words
Creator's Summary: "Hurry, Doctor! We've got just enough time to finish our picnic before the monster gets us!"
Characters/Pairings: Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken, Adric, Fifth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is a hilarious fic where the group are menaced by an alien that seems like it would be in the series. Except that they notice how slow it moves. The descriptions of the group 'running away' and the way the alien moves are funny.

Title: Warmth
Creator:

lurking_latinist
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1223 words
Creator's Summary: Unexpectedly stranded in London and looking for work, Tegan finds a place where she just might fit in.
Characters/Pairings: Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken, Fifth Doctor, Adric
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is a coffee shop AU. Setting change AUs aren't usually my thing, but the characters all fit into the world, with their jobs. Their personalities and relationships are the same as they are in canon.

Title: Adventures in Babysitting
Creator:

CeruleanTactician
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1047 words
Creator's Summary: Team Five attempts to take care of a baby.
Keyword, of course, being “attempts.”
Characters/Pairings: Nyssa of Traken, Tegan Jovanka, Fifth Doctor, Adric
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For 1980, Adric's first episode. This is fun with most of them having no idea what they're doing. And also sweet at the end.

Title: Two Hearts
Creator:

emeraldarrows
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 4325 words
Creator's Summary: Reflections on the past and the two hearts of a Time Lord.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa, Turlough, Adric, Kamelion, Tenth Doctor/Donna Noble.
Warnings/Notes: Angst.

Reasons for reccing: For 1981, the year that we first met Tegan Jovanka and the Fifth Doctor, as well as for the multi-era theme. This is a gorgeous set of haunting vignettes looking at their relationship, their bond, and its impossibility. It's a beautifully melancholic piece.

Title: Eleven Secret Rooms
Creator: ninewood
Rating: All Ages

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:
For the box "Secrets" on my Bingo card. This is lovely and delightful. The details of each room are nice and each little moment paints a great picture of each Doctor.

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 3,899 words
Creator's Summary: The Thirteenth Doctor’s TARDIS is going haywire without reason, and things get even weirder when she comes face to face with friends from her past. Meanwhile, the Fifth Doctor tries to calm his own TARDIS when three strangers appear in the places of Nyssa, Adric, and Tegan.
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Graham O’Brien, Ryan Sinclair, Nyssa or Traken, Adric, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: My first entry for the Claim a Character seasonal challenge. I really like the Doctor meeting past companions, and this was a fun take on the idea.

Creator's Summary: A solemn day for the TARDIS crew, as they say goodbye to a dear friend.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken, Adric
Warnings/Notes: Major Character death

Reasons for reccing: This rec goes for Adric for my Fandom Surprise character list. I think it is a fitting and perfect encapsulation of his character in the show. Very well done by the author. Go read it. Bring tissues.

Title: Lost in Translation

Creator: Chryse73

Rating: G

Word Count/Length/Size: 568

Creator's Summary: A bit of Team Five fluff written for who_contest Drabble Contest #62 - 'Wit'.

Tegan tries to tell a joke. It doesn't go well.

Characters/Pairings:

Fifth Doctor Tegan Jovanka Nyssa of Traken Adric (Doctor Who)

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is pure fluff and silliness with the s19 crew. This author knows these characters and gets their voices perfectly.

Title: Life Unexpected
Creator:

coralysendria
Rating: Gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 10.039 words
Creator's Summary: "You know, I've been up and down your timeline, meeting all those silly people who died to keep you alive."
It wasn't just strangers that ended up in the Nethersphere. Some of the Doctor's friends ended up there, too. But the Doctor's friends are still the Doctor's friends, even if they're no longer conventionally alive, so they're not necessarily going to follow Missy's plans...
Characters/Pairings: Missy, Seb, Jack Harkness, Oswin Oswald, Osgood, Jenny Flint, Adric, Lobus Caecilius, Harriet Jones, Simm!Master, the Brigadier (Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart), River Song, Amy Pond, Rory Williams
Warnings/Notes: canonical and extrapolated character deaths, afterlife

Reasons for reccing: Wonderful and inventive exploration of an uncharted corner of canon. I love this for the wide and sometimes surprising array of characters who end up meeting Missy and/or Seb, who react to the Nethersphere in different ways, and who sometimes even meet each other. They all feel very much like themselves and the story manages to combine a lot of different beats, from funny and nostalgic, over poignant and surprising, to uncanny and sad.

Title: Storytime: Macbeth
Creator:

Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 23,373 words
Creator's Summary: Jamie wants to read the story of Macbeth to the wee bairns in the playgroup. What could possibly go wrong?
Characters/Pairings: Jamie McCrimmon, Samantha Briggs, Tegan Jovanka, Vislor Turlough, Izzy Sinclair, Isobel Watkins, Gia Kelly, Victoria Waterfield, Zoe Heriot + many more, particularly Adric, Ninth Doctor, Mickey Smith & the Brigadier.
Warnings/Notes: None. I would warn for some innuendo, but it's Shakespeare.

Reasons for reccing: This is part of the ongoing metafic concept of This Time Round (where all the Doctor Who characters meet in a pub outside reality, complain about the writing, fanfic etc., and Nyssa tries to kill Adric a lot, for reasons) but don't worry too much about that (or follow the link for more detailed explanations) - what happens here is that a bunch of Doctor Who characters are forced to act out Macbeth by Jamie and Sam Briggs (and there's a running subplot where various other (mostly Two-era) characters are trying to stop them. Hilarity ensues.

It does not go exactly as Shakespeare intended, although it's okay - he sent a note. TTR is pretty cracky, but that is what allows for gems like this. I'm not quite sure what the highlights are (and you can bet I've missed at least half of the in-jokes) - maybe it's Tegan's annoyance at being cast as Lady Macbeth, the Witches, or Jo's drunken porter, or the various Large Hams making the most of it, but I don't think it's possible to get through it and maintain a straight face, and that's the important thing.

TTR's a bit outside of the usual run of DW fic, so it's easy to miss this, which would also be a tragedy. Have fun!
