Title: Family Resemblance
Creator:

Monarchetype
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1696 words
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.

Creator's Summary: There's a student in Ian's classroom who knows too much about science.

Again.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Vislor Turlough
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a great idea, having Ian and Turlough at the same school. The parallels between Turlough and Susan that help Ian spot another alien is really interesting.

Reasons for reccing: For 1975, the year Davros, the Dalek creator was introduced. This is a fun vid to a fun song, with the images matching the words. And the addition of some fun hashtags.

Word Count/Length/Size: 3:28
Creator's Summary: n/a
Characters/Pairings: Vislor Turlough, Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: The song choice! I knew nothing about Turlough when I first watched this vid and it intrigued me. I like how it presents a clear and interesting take on his character, with some fun vidding choices.

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.

Title: Master's Thesis

Creator:

auronlu (circular-time)

Rating: All ages

Word Count/Length/Size:42,826

Creator's Summary: When Nyssa tries to return home with the cure to a deadly plague, the TARDIS overshoots and slips back into her past, the Doctor's future. Worse, the Master is already there, taking a sinister interest in her family. Hemmed in by potential time paradoxes, there's only one person to whom Nyssa can turn for help: her best friend Tegan.

Characters/Pairings:

Nyssa of Traken Tegan Jovanka Fifth Doctor Vislor Turlough The Master (Doctor Who) Lasarti

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For my Bingo card. Box-Master. . (Set in the older!Nyssa Big Finish audios but you don't need to have listened to them first) This is exciting and in-character for everybody. An adventure that feels like an actual episode of the series; with moments (I won't spoil here) that many fans of Nyssa have been more than likely waiting to happen.

Characters/Pairings:

Fifth Doctor,Tegan Jovanka,Vislor Turlough,Sixth Doctor,Melanie Bush,Seventh Doctor,Ace McShane,Eighth Doctor,Charley Pollard

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's four shorts/drabbles focusing on four different Doctors. All cute and well-written , based on the idea of "

the companion being surprised by something the Doctor knew would happen."

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: 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!

Word Count/Length/Size: 7016 words
Creator's Summary: Tegan's journey takes her to places she knew she'd never go.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I could never imagine this pairing, until I read this story. Then, once I had read it, the pairing made perfect sense, but only in the way they are together here. This story brings Tegan and the Doctor together, but in a way that preserves the Doctor's essential, alien otherness. This is such a great Tegan voice. She's such a loud "outside" sort of character but this quieter, thoughtful but unflinchingly honest internal voice works so beautifully. I love - in a slightly uncomfortable way - the way the Doctor is with her, the way he sounds and acts - I can hear him so clearly in the dialogue - but Tegan is what really makes this story. It's one that's stayed in my mind ever since I first read it, years ago.

Title: Escape

Author:

viridian5

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 3895

Author's Summary: No matter how hard he tries, Turlough can't get away.

Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Vislor Turlough

Warnings: Heavily implied past abuse, especially sexual abuse.

Reasons for reccing: This is probably my favorite Doctor Who fic in existence, for a variety of reasons. First, Turlough is written exceptionally well. Turlough's past is touched on in-depth, and as a person with PTSD, it's the most accurate depiction of trauma in fan work that I've ever read. Secondly, it shows a gentle relationship between Turlough and the Doctor, which is refreshing. It's just an overall well written fic; I love it, and i want others to know about it too.
