Word Count/Length/Size: 5,635 words
Creator's Summary: Graham's new friend disappears. So does Ryan's. All on the same day.
The same day a curious blond woman shows up with all sorts of gadgets Graham has never seen before.
Characters/Pairings: Graham O'Brien, Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Dan Lewis, Ryan Sinclair, Jack Harkness; Graham/Dan and Yaz/Thirteen implied at the end, but it's not the focus of the fic
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is a lovely alternate first meeting fic, in which Graham is still a bus driver and meets the Doctor on one of his routes, while she is looking for ghosts. Or "ghosts"? This was a fascinating read and I love its Graham POV with his take on everyone else, and the way it keeps everyone in character despite the different circumstances.

Creator's Summary: n/a
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: I adore the art style of this piece - it's basically just the gang standing in a forest with a lovely autumnal colour palette, but the intricate details are amazing: the way the forest frames them and feels alive around them, all the flowers and branches and birds, and the shadows in the distance. Very cool.

Rec [Fic]: Reversion by riptheh

Title (“Title” in bold): Reversion
Creator (“Creator” in bold):

riptheh
Rating (“Rating” in bold): Teen and up Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size (“ Word Count/Length/Size” in bold): 102,626 words
Creator's Summary (“Creator’s summary” in bold): People are dying throughout time. And the Doctor has abandoned her companions.

Back in Sheffield, Yaz, Ryan, and Graham wait, watching the increasingly desperate news on the TV and slowly losing hope. It’s been three months since the Doctor left them—to die, it seems.

At the end of the universe, Clara Oswald travels to Gallifrey to beg the Time Lords for one simple request: we need your help. The universe is dying.

One dimension removed, Rose Tyler hacks at the universe walls, risking her entire world in an attempt to break through—not that it matters, because her world is already dead.
Pairings (“Pairings” in bold): Thirteenth Doctor & Yasmin Khan, Thirteenth Doctor & Clara Oswin Oswald, Thirteenth Doctor & Rose Tyler, Thirteenth Doctor & Ryan Sinclair, Thirteenth Doctor & Graham O’Brien, Ryan Sinclair & Rose Tyler, Yasmin Khan & Clara Oswin Oswald
Characters (“Characters” in bold):Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Clara Oswin Oswald, Rose Tyler, Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brien, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Petronella Osgood, Ashildr | Lady Me, River Song
Warnings/Notes (“Warnings/Notes” in bold): To quote the author, “Okay, so when I wrote this fic last summer, I did not foresee there there would be an ACTUAL (“actual” in caps) pandemic happening at this point.” Therefore, expect illness, death (not of main characters), etc is present. There is also at least one incident involving threat of death that is not directly related to the fictional disease.

Reasons for reccing (“Reasons for reccing” in bold): I’m submitting this as my fourth entry in the “Claim a Character” challenge. I’m also submitting this for the seasonal challenge. If you ever wanted to see the Thirteenth Doctor and/or her companions meet past New Who companions, then this is for you - Clara, Rose, Kate, Osgood, and River all show up. In fact, the Doctor isn’t even in the fic for the first several chapters (though she is a major character once she does appear), meaning that the beginning has a lot of focus on Thirteen’s companions getting to know other companions, and the other companions getting to know each other. The main plot itself is very well done and well paced, timely-wimey and tangled without ever getting too confusing. I read this as it came out and was excited to read each update.

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 3,899 words
Creator's Summary: The Thirteenth Doctor’s TARDIS is going haywire without reason, and things get even weirder when she comes face to face with friends from her past. Meanwhile, the Fifth Doctor tries to calm his own TARDIS when three strangers appear in the places of Nyssa, Adric, and Tegan.
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Graham O’Brien, Ryan Sinclair, Nyssa or Traken, Adric, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: My first entry for the Claim a Character seasonal challenge. I really like the Doctor meeting past companions, and this was a fun take on the idea.

Rec [fic]: Just breathe by morpholomeg

Title: Just breathe
Creator:

morpholomeg
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 17,679 words
Creator's Summary:
Once again, a leisure trip in the TARDIS turns into a mission to help. Yaz is on search and rescue, looking for a lost child, but soon finds she needs rescuing herself. In the meantime, Graham and Ryan grapple with the local culture, and the Doctor has to decide at what point she must let go of her hope. Five and a half hours might not be long enough this time...

(alt summary: author spends 15k getting Yaz and the Doctor to hug)
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Graham O'Brien, Ryan Sinclair
Warnings/Notes: Spoilery warning that a major character is thought to be dead for a significant chunk of this story.

Reasons for reccing: It's a great story with a really alien world and aliens that are not at all humanoid. As the author says in their notes, it's like an episode that they wouldn't have been able to afford to do. The plot is interesting and the characters are in character.

Reasons for reccing: It's an interesting time loop where things aren't quite the same each time and the Doctor remembers.

Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: In this one, the whole fam gets to meet Wilf. And Donna. An early christmas story, funny and bittersweet, with a wonderful take on all the characters. I particularly love Thirteen's and Wilf's reactions when they recognize the other.

Creator's Summary: I like to think the Doctor and her fam build giant pillow forts in the TARDIS console room sometimes, because these giant crystals look like the perfect structures for that
Characters/Pairings: TARDIS, Thirteenth Doctor, Graham O'Brien, Yasmin Khan, Ryan Sinclair
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: I love everything about this - the composition and the contrast of cold and warm colours, the lighting, the idea of a cosy pillow fort in the TARDIS, and the whole Fam sprawled out reading while the Doctor is busy expanding the fort.

Creator's Summary: The Doctor finds out about Oppy's haunting last message.
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brien, Opportunity (Mars Rover)
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: This is a short and sweet fic about the Doctor saving the Mars Rover Opportunity when it dies. There's also some interesting details about life on Mars and the Doctor's relationship with NASA. It's also from Graham's POV, and the author has perfectly captured his lingering grief about Grace and his cynicism about everything, which contrasts to the other's excitement.

Word Count/Length/Size: 1:31 minutes
Creator's Summary: YAZ MY PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL AKSHGFHGH

Well, I have MANY thoughts about last episode. The short version is I'm beyond happy that Doctor Who covered depression like that - and so perfectly. Yaz's backstory is sadly relatable, it makes SO much sense for her character, and it makes me love her even more than I already did. It's also encouraged me to try the 50p thing myself so :')
Characters/Pairing: Yasmin Khan
Warnings/Notes: -

Reasons for reccing: I really love the bright and coloring editing and how it complements the somewhat dark theme of Yaz’s bullying and mental health. It creates this wonderful feeling of hope, recovery, and positivity. Really lovely and a bit whimsical character study of Yaz.

Rec [Meta]: In defence of the Thirteenth Doctor and Series 11

Title: In defence of the Thirteenth Doctor and Series 11
Creator:

sapphichymns
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 2,421 words
Creator's Summary: There has been a lot of rhetoric about the state of the show and it’ll probably continue no matter what the show does (that’s Doctor Who for ya). But 1 year later, why not have a new look at the Thirteenth Doctor and Series 11 and some of the criticisms it received?

By the way, this will be quite long so buckle up!
Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor, Graham O’Brien, Ryan Sinclair, Yasmin Khan
Warnings/Notes: -

Reasons for reccing: This is a really thorough analysis that looks into some of the criticisms against series 11 of Doctor Who and discusses their merits and the narrative reasons why those changes that received criticisms were made. The essay analyzes the dramatic shift between series 10 and series 11 and defends its purpose. It also offers some decent commentary of the characters and their development (or lack thereof). It’s a great essay to read in preparation of series 12.

Rec [Meta]: Series 12 Meta by jod13whittaker

Title: N/A
Creator:

jod13whittaker
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 958 words
Creator's Summary: there’s a lot to unpack out of the DW s12 trailers, but personally I’m most eager to see what’s going on with Graham asking both, “Who are you, Doc?” and, “What have you brought here, Doctor?”

like I hope it’s not some weird fake-out where 13 has brought some really trash cake and Graham’s like “what have you brought, even I can’t eat this” because Chibbers has been building up to the gang-fam finally questioning the Dr in a slow-burn sort of way since last series.
Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor, Yazmin Khan, Graham O’Brien, Ryan Sinclair
Warnings/Notes: -

Reasons for reccing: This is fantastic analysis that delves into the current Team Tardis’ characters, explaining why the companions never truly questioned or challenged the Doctor and why and how the Doctor has been hiding the darker parts of herself (and her world). And how the series 12 trailer hints at a change in that with the companions facing real dangers and seeing the other elements of the Doctor.

Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is a wonderful, happy-making vid, which conveys the wonder and the joy and the poignancy (the whole "saddest songs" line!) of the show and shows how all of it is new and exciting for each new iteration. I love that it starts with the current and still new Team Tardis and then broadens to include all New Who Doctors and companions, and even a couple of recurring and minor characters.

Creator:

Rating: G
Word Count: 4030
Creator's Summary: The TARDIS is malfunctioning and now the Doctor can’t seem to avoid getting drunk and marrying her former selves while dressed as Marilyn Monroe. And that one Hollywood party had seemed like such a good idea at the time…
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor/The Doctor(s), with various companions and other characters also making apperances

Reasons for reccing: I'm slightly biased, because this is a remix of one of my own fics, but if you want to read an absolutely hilarious story where the Doctor accidentally keeps getting married to her previous selves (despite Ryan, Yaz and Graham's efforts to stop her), read this.
