Title: Fit for a King
Creator:

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 838 words
Creator's Summary: At the end of an adventure, Evelyn faces one more challenge that will call on all her skills...
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For 1984, the year the Sixth Doctor was first on TV. It's a fun fic where Evelyn saves the day with cake and the Doctor is completely clueless about baking.

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

Reasons for reccing: For 2000, the year of Evelyn's first appearance. This is a fun fic with cake and carrots, and the Sixth Doctor being his typical self.

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 5409
Creator's Summary: In ancient Egypt, amidst the creation of history on the Giza plateau, Barbara Wright is approached by Dr Evelyn Smythe, who explains that they have a friend in common. Meanwhile, the Doctor runs into an old, young friend. Can they discover who is meddling with history?
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright, Evelyn Smythe, Vicki Pallister, Sixth Doctor, First Doctor, Ian Chesterton
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's Barbara and Evelyn meeting, which is an idea I love to begin with. But then the characters are perfectly in character and the two TARDIS teams meeting is fun.

Creator's Summary: Six and Evelyn run afoul of etiquette at the Court of the Empress.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a really sweet fic that shows the comfortable friendship between the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn. And how she's better prepared for their travels than he is.

Word Count/Length/Size: 2652
Creator's Summary: Evelyn and Six baking. As with everything that involves the Doctor, it does not go to plan.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's funny. The Doctor baking (in fic) never goes well and this is no exception. It's also typical of the two of them, with the Doctor getting them into a mess and Evelyn telling him off for it.

Word Count/Length/Size: 1799 words
Creator's Summary: Dr Evelyn Smythe was hoping to give her history lecture in peace, but the Doctor has other ideas
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Evelyn Smyth
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a fun idea with the Twelfth Doctor being a lecturer at the same university as Evelyn. Of course she treats him just the same as she did with the Sixth Doctor, and he's his usual unhelpful self.

Creator's Summary: Ten snippets of AUs featuring the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn Smythe, based on a Dreamwidth/Tumblr meme.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes:
None

Reasons for reccing: This is snippets of ten different AU scenarios for Six and Evelyn-and they're all brilliant and in-character. Ever wanted Evelyn in the Wild West? Or in a space opera? :) Hard to pick a fave (but the Canon Divergent comes really close for this reader)

Title: Carried Too Far
Creator:

Andraste
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 6400 words
Creator's Summary: Forced intimacy clichés are no match for the Doctor. (Most of the time.)
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Third Doctor/The Master, Jo Grant, Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Fifth Doctor, Vislor Turlough, Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, Eighth Doctor, Izzy Sinclair, Ninth Doctor, Jack Harkness, Amy Pond/Rory Williams, Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's all the intimacy tropes, but involving the Doctor, who can be guaranteed to make them not at all intimate. It's fun all the situations the Doctor and his companions find themselves in.

Two art recs, both featuring Six & Evelyn and both (at least a little) seasonal:

Title: Untitled
Creator:

Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: N/A
Creator's Summary: I have started to listen to the Sixth Doctor Big Finish audios and of course I love Evelyn, who doesn’t love Evelyn? So here’s a drawing of her I just made while waiting for my watercolour to dry. Cool stuff, watercolour, but you spend two thirds of your time waiting for it to dry.
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).

Creator's Summary: N/A
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor & Evelyn Smythe
Warnings/Notes: Drawn in relation to Arrangements for War & Thicker Than Water (but no spoilers).

Reasons for reccing: This is just lovely - quiet and warm and melancholy with the ache of things ending (& thus seasonal maybe) all at the same time. It's a really satisfying little captured moment between them.

Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright, Evelyn Smythe, Vicki Pallister, Sixth Doctor, First Doctor, Ian Chesterton
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I am a sucker for Barbara and Evelyn meeting, and this is a good one. The Sixth Doctor meeting his old friends again is fun, as is the Doctors meeting. They all react exactly how you'd think they would.

Title: Ten Times Trouble
Creator:

Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 7856 words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barbara are getting married. All ten Doctors go to their wedding. Chaos ensues.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, First Doctor, Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Eighth Doctor, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Ace McShane, Fitz Kreiner, Evelyn Smythe, Donna Noble, Sarah Jane Smith, Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield, Romana II, Jack Harkness
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's clever how all the Doctors are in here, causing chaos as only they can. And amusing, with everyone's reactions to the Doctors. And the OCs - Ian and Barbara's family - are believable and interesting with their opinions on their two year disappearance and marriage.

Creator:

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 6192 words
Creator's Summary: There are vampire giraffes at the London Zoo. The Doctor really ought to do something about that, seeing as he's been there before.
Characters/Pairings: Rani Chandra, Evelyn Smythe, Frobisher, Sarah Jane Smith, Jamie McCrimmon, Martha Jones, Ace McShane, Sixth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Second Doctor, Fourth Doctor, The Meddling Monk, Eleventh Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Because it's delightfully silly. It's about vampire giraffes, includes Frobisher in the penguin enclosure in the zoo and Ace unable to remember his species name properly. The Sixth Doctor being his imperious self and Evelyn having to keep him in check. And a whole lot of characters and silliness.

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 Summer of '69
Creator: bibliophile1887
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 3214 words
Creator's Summary: 1969: A young PhD student named Evelyn goes to a lecture given by a Mrs. Chesterton. 1972: A companion to the Doctor named Dr. Smythe meets Barbra again.
Characters/Pairings: Barbara Wright/Ian Chesterton, Evelyn Smythe, The Sixth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: A sweet multi-era crossover for the anniversary weekend. Barbara and Evelyn have an interest in history in common, as well as travelling with the Doctor, and it only makes sense that they should meet. It's also interesting to see how the Doctor and Ian & Barbara react to each other. And I love the relationship between Evelyn and the Sixth Doctor here, just as much as I love it in the audios.

Creator's Summary: 10 AU scenarios for Six and Evelyn from an LJ meme.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe

Reasons for reccing: I nearly let the month go by (let's pretend it's not past midnight where I'm posting) without reccing one of these delightful collections of bite-sized AUs. Read to discover what happens to the Sixth Doctor and Evelyn in the Wild West, in the Regency Era, or at school - and many more besides. (Also, contains mentions of chocolate cake.)

I also recommend checking out her other mini-AUs - there are some for e.g. Five & Tegan & Nyssa, River & Romana II, and Jamie and Zoë.

Title: Signs on the Slow Path
Creator:

selena
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 5600
Creator's Summary: The Doctor has a lot of reasons for choosing the twentieth and twenty-first century on Earth when guarding the vault. Some he even admits to. Though not necessarily to the people in question.
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Dctor & various former companions
Warnings/Notes: n/a

Reasons for reccing: I'm a sucker for "Twelfth Doctor Apology Tour" fics where he goes around fixing all the things that his previous selves did wrong, and this is a good example of that kind of fic with the Doctor visiting many of his past companions (both modern and classic) while he's stuck in Bristol. The ending may or may not have made me tear up a bit.

Creator's Summary: -
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 )

Today's rec bingo (card here!) fills the fifth row, fifth column prompt 'cake'.

Title: Chocolate Cake Blues

Creator: Memory Dragon

Rating: All Ages

Word Count/Length/Size: 4223 words

Creator's Summary: After leaving Tegan again, the Doctor sets off to collect his companions and tries to forget the whole thing ever happened. The TARDIS has a different idea.

Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, implied Tegan/Five

Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for the BFA "The Gathering."

Reasons for reccing: As soon as I saw this prompt on my rec bingo card, I knew I had to rec an Evelyn story. The question, of course, was, which one should I rec? After all, I have never met an Evelyn fic I did not adore. After a good fifteen minutes of browsing my bookmarks, I remembered this lovely story. It's a wonderful soft moment between a Doctor that does not know Evelyn yet, and Evelyn herself, who (characteristically) is not taking any of his nonsense, no matter which incarnation he's in.

Despite the author's claims to the otherwise, their Five voice is really quite spot-on, as is Evelyn's. It's such a lovely, magical fic, full of chocolate and warmth and hugs and it just makes me really very happy. We all need a friend who's willing to make chocolate cake for us in our lives, don't we? I know I do.

( A (sweet) taste, to get you hooked... )
