rec [Fic]: an evening coming in across the fields by phantomlistener

Title: an evening coming in across the fields
Creator:

phantomlistener
Rating: Teen
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.

Rec (Fic)- Chameleon Arch of Infinity by SpaceTimeConundrum

Title: Chameleon Arch of Infinity
Creator:

SpaceTimeConundrum
Rating: Mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 24429
Creator's Summary: Why kill the Doctor to save the universe when you can simply reprogram his DNA?
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Nyssa of Traken, Irving Braxiatel, Leela, Omega, Damon,Tegan Jovanka, Hedin, The Castellan, Andred, Maxil, Borusa
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)

Warnings/Notes: None

Rec (Fic)- Sand and Water by Chryse73

Title: Sand and Water
Creator:

Chryse73
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.

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.
