Title: The Zygon Illusion
Creator:

GalaxyOwl13
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 2034 words
Creator's Summary: The Doctor gets sick, gives a lecture on the Aztecs, and argues with Nardole. A lot.
Oh, and he meets Barbara Wright a decade too early. Or a couple thousand years too late, depending on your perspective.
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Barbara Wright, Nardole
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I love the Doctor and companions meeting in the wrong order and this has the Twelfth Doctor and Barbara meeting, although of course she has no idea who he is. And the Doctor is ill, which is funny, since he's as terrible at being ill as you'd expect.

Creator's Summary: Nardole knows that Narvin isn’t listening, but forges on anyway. There’s got to be something to fill this silence or else it’s going to get very heavy indeed. He has a feeling they’re going to be trapped here for some time.
Characters/Pairings: Nardole/Narvin, Bill Potts
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For 2004, as Narvin was introduced this year. This is an utterly hilarious fic and the two of them work surprisingly well together

Title: Twelfth Doctor Tribute | I am The Doctor
Creator:

Sharon_Studio
Rating: gen
Length: 7:03 minutes
Creator's Summary: In one month from today, we're going to see Peter Capaldi as The Doctor, probably for the last time.
I am dedicating this video for all the cast and crew throughout the 8 to 10 seasons, to Steven Moffat for his brilliant words and especially, to Peter Capaldi.
Characters/Pairings: Twelve and the members of his "team": Clara, Bill, Nardole, Missy, River
Warnings/Notes: None, except possibly strong feelings of nostalgia and of missing Twelve's era all over again.

Reasons for reccing: I've watched quite a few of the goodbye vids produced in the wake of Twelve's departure. This one slipped by me until tonight, and I was touched by this version of the Doctor's story. The vidder takes a somewhat different slant on his journey of self-discovery, employing quotes and shots familiar from other vids but also using unexpected intercuts and expressions that, among other things, highlight the subtlety and vulnerability of Peter Capaldi's face. The portrait Capaldi created of the Doctor is an extraordinary achievement, IMO, and Sharon Studio assembles a coherent narrative to show us who Twelve is or tries to be. The vid was made before "Twice Upon a Time" aired, which is a shame; it would have reinforced the theme, but never mind. Sharon Studio's love for this Doctor shines through.

Two series ten related art recs for the monthly "journey" theme. (The second one also has Heather, who is one of my characters for the seasonal challenge.)

1. Title: See You at the Cloud Nine Observatory

Rating: gen
Word Count/Length/Size: one picture
Creator's Summary: Bill, Twelve and Nardole taking a group selfie at the Venus Cloud Nine Observatory, as imagined by Nasa for their “Visions of the Future” posters.
Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts, Nardole
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: I'm always happy to find art for these three together and I love that this was inspired by NASA's wonderful Visions of the Future posters, the Venus one in this case. Imagined travel destinations of the future - of course Bill would want to go there!

2. Title: Space Age Lovesong

Rating: gen
Word Count/Length/Size: four panels
Creator's Summary: n/a
Characters/Pairings: Bill Potts/Heather
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: A lovely little set of comic panels. Inspired by a song lyric, it throws a spotlight on the journey of their relationship so far and ends on them leaving the TARDIS together, the first step into their unknown future travels. Really love the contrasting brown/blue colour scheme here, plus the symmetry and the stars and Heather's eye in the first one.

Word Count/Length/Size: two tumblr posts with 9-10 pieces of fanart/mini-comics each
Creator's Summary: n/a
Warnings/Notes: none

1. Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Clara Oswald, Amy Pond, Twelfth Doctor, Missy, Simm!Master, Novice Hame (presumably)
Reasons for reccing: Two reunion hugs for the "kissing/hugging" square on my bingo card!
- Thirteen and Clara
- Thirteen and Amy
Love the quiet among-the-stars mood of the first one and the exuberance of the second (and generally how different they are, and not just because of the height differences, hee).
Because the artist posts their stuff on tumblr in batches, there are a couple of other great pieces in this post, among them
- this vault picnic, a lovely missing scene with Twelve and Missy from season ten,
- this regeneration moment, which is beautifully minimalistic, and
- this Thirteen in Timelord robes piece, which is very funny.

2. Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Clara Oswald, Bill Potts, Nardole, Missy, Thirteenth Doctor
Reasons for reccing: Once I was checking out the artists' work, I also found this batch post, with things like Missy and Bill meeting Thirteen and several cat!Twelve drawings. Which I wanted to rec mostly for how fun the scenes with each of the other characters are, Bill and Nardole in particular.

Title: life
Creator:

Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 2:03 minutes
Creator's Summary: Time and relevant dimensions in space.
Characters/Pairings: Twelve, Bill, Nardole
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:
This is a brief, charming, fast-paced reminder of the friendship between Bill Potts and the Doctor. The editing boasts a light touch, graceful, witty, and affectionate toward all concerned. The vid itself is surprisingly upbeat considering it's Twelve's farewell season, which is a nice contrast to the many tributes that follow him to the bitter end. I love these three rascals, their playfulness and care for one another. It's a joyful little celebration of Doctor and companion (and Doctor's minder) laughing and hugging and getting into trouble, with all the tragedy left for another day.

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.
