Rec [Fic]: The Man in Black by Aralias

Title: The Man in Black
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] aralias
Rating: gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 933 words
Creator's Summary: Like John Smith, Yana tells stories about a madman with his face and a time machine.
Characters/Pairings: Professor Yana (Jacobi!Master), Chantho
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: Told from Chantho's POV (which is awesome in itself), this is a really great look at Professor Yana and his hidden Master identity, lurking in his nightmares and his stories. But he doesn't just dream of the Man in Black - there's also Theta, his ever changing adversary.

Rec [fic]: Dr Harry Sullivan in... Another Exciting Adventure! by aralias

Title: Dr Harry Sullivan in... Another Exciting Adventure! (The ‘You Had To Be There’ Remix)
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] aralias
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1389 words
Creator's Summary: Watch Out, Opponents of Women’s Rights! Doctor Harry Sullivan is on your tail!
Characters/Pairings: Harry Sullivan, Sarah Jane Smith, Fourth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's just hilarious. Most of the story is written from an outsider's POV and it's an outsider who has decided that Harry is a hero who knows everything. It's not an unreasonable spin on events from someone who might only have some of the facts, but it makes for a fun one. And then at the end we get to see Sarah and the Doctor's opinion of it, which are just what you might think.

Rec [fic]: Death in the Tealeaves (an Eighth Doctor and Lucie 'adventure') by aralias

For the tea square on my bingo card

Title: Death in the Tealeaves (an Eighth Doctor and Lucie 'adventure')
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] aralias
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 1735 words
Creator's Summary: The Doctor likes tea, but this morning tea seems not to like him.
Characters/Pairings: Eighth Doctor, Lucie Miller
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's just typical of the Doctor to find something trying to kill him. Tea is a fun and interesting idea. It's very Eighth Doctor - I could hear Paul McGann doing all the name dropping Lucie complains about.

Rec [Fic]: News from Santiago (the 'Keeping Up with the Joneses' remix) by Aralias

Title: News from Santiago (the 'Keeping Up with the Joneses' remix)
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] aralias
Rating: Gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 1091 words
Creator's Summary: While Jo Jones writes a five (or six)-page letter to her husband, Santiago writes emails to the rest of the clan.
Characters/Pairings: Santiago Jones
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: A fun epistolary fic, wherein Santiago - who appeared as Jo Grant's grandson in the SJA episode "Death of the Doctor" - writes emails to various relatives, talking about his trip with Jo to the Doctor's funeral, where he met Sarah Jane, Rani, and Clyde, as well as the Doctor and a couple of aliens. This almost reads like an outsider POV story, which I love, and I think the author really found a believable and funny writing style for a teenage boy.
