Creator's Summary: Due to her chronic inability to give any personal details to her companions, the Thirteenth Doctor tries to pass off the Fifth Doctor as a family member during a chance run-in at a deadly spa. It goes as well as you'd expect.
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Yasmin Khan, Vislor Turlough
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a silly story of two Doctors meeting. And of Tegan and Turlough at a spa, both of whom are really great at relaxing.

Word Count/Length/Size: 1788 words
Creator's Summary: “Hi,” Tegan says, mock-formal. “My name’s Tegan Jovanka and I was possessed by a god from beyond the dawn of time. Twice.” Mel laughs, the tension suddenly gone. “Melanie Bush,” she returns, “and I was possessed by the god of death. Just once, mind you.” ~ Mel, after Empire of Death
Characters/Pairings: Melanie Bush, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for s1/14/whatever; emotional trauma from possession.

Reasons for reccing: I came across this tonight and it filled a need I hadn't realised I had for some sort of fic dealing with Mel, post "The Empire of Death". It's well-drawn, beautifully written, and a lovely look at these two opposites bonding over unwanted shared experiences.

Warnings/Notes: Sexual Content , "Time Lords Being Stupid" 

Reasons for reccing: Monthly theme. This is a very well-done fix it for Arc of Infinity.  It's a creative solution and everyone I believe is in character.  The Doctor in this AU is still himself (but seems to have less inhibitions). 

(Note- It helps if you have seen or at least found a recap of Arc of Infinity)

Rating: General 
Word Count/Length/Size: 2715
Creator's Summary:  Missing scene from the MA novel ‘The Sands of Time’, by Justin Richards. Spoilers throughout.

The Doctor and Tegan have rescued Nyssa from the clutches of Nephthys and all seems well, but waking from a four thousand year coma isn’t as simple as expected...

Characters/Pairings: Fith Doctor,  Nyssa of Traken, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: Like the Summary said, Spoilers.  

Reasons for reccing: Bonus rec for 1996 (since it's when the novel was published).  Sands of Time might be my favorite Fifth Doctor novel ( well, it or Cold Fusion).  And this is a lovely, in-character missing scene for it.  The images are detailed and vivid,  and it's actually a bit heartbreaking at points.

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.

Reasons for reccing: For 1982, when Castrovalva first aired. It's a story of the Doctor getting to know his new self, which is interesting to see. And also comforting Nyssa. It feels exactly like something that must have happened - after all, losing your world is a pretty big thing to deal with.

Reasons for reccing: It's rare to find many fanworks for Five & Tegan these days, but this is a lovely one. It's a very sweet piece of art (of Tegan kissing the Doctor's forehead), but unsentimental, and the style works well for the subject, with the contrast of the moon & stars glow illuminating their outlines with the muted evening palette. Surely guaranteed to make you go 'aww' a least a bit, whatever your take on their relationship.

Reasons for reccing: This is a really interesting meeting between Ian and Barbara's son, John (from some of the novels) and the Tenth Doctor. With a whole lot of assumptions from John based on his parents' stories. I really like how they interact and how John views the TARDIS. And how the TARDIS communicates with the Doctor.

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Because it's funny. It has a trending theme, which leads to the reveal of how the First Doctor ended up with that ulster. Despite it all being from Gilbert or Sullivan's point of view, you can still tell which Doctors and companions are which from what they do and how their clothing is described.
