I’ve read a couple of brilliant fics recently that perfectly fit for the “Reunion” square on my Bingo card.

Title: those quiet hours turned to years
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] abcooper
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 6,407 words, 1 chapter
Creator's Summary: the Doctor's been alive for over 2000 years, so of course Yaz doesn't expect to be the only person she's ever loved. Of course not.
Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor/Yasmin Khan, Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Rose Tyler,
Warnings/Notes: Past Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler

Reasons for reccing: This is a really lovely fic that has Thirteen meet Rose again. It offers some lovely closure between the pair and I really enjoyed the interactions between Rose and Yaz. The author does a great job of “ageing” Rose and the Rose we see is one that has lived on this parallel world with Tentoo for several years and she has grown and changed. This is really evident is her interactions with the Doctor and especially Yaz, as she remembers what it was like to be Yaz. It’s a really lovely Thasmin fic that acknowledges the history between the Doctor and Rose in a really fulfilling and satisfying way.

Title: More Spoilers
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] spoilersweetie
Rating: M
Word Count/Length/Size: 3,579 words, 1 chapter
Creator's Summary: “And I think you… you’re older than I’ve ever seen you,” the Doctor dares to guess in a quiet voice as she looks into River's eyes. She swallows. “Am I right?”
Characters/Pairing: River Song/Thirteenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: Technically a sequel to “Winking at Strangers” but you don’t have to read that to understand this fic. Also some light smut in this fic

Reasons for reccing: This is just a really sweet and fluffy fic about Thirteen meeting her wife once again. It’s also one that made me feel so overjoyed and excited to see the word “Spoilers” again in the context of this ship. The author does a great job of portraying Thirteen’s emotions and evoking them in a way so that the reader feels them too.

Title: Conversations with Friends
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] hetzi_clutch
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 3,999 words, 1 chapter
Creator's Summary: The Doctor accidentally ends up visiting an old friend.
Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor & Martha Jones
Warnings/Notes: N/A

Reasons for reccing: This is a really lovely fic that has the Thirteenth Doctor meet an old companion of hers. It’s lovely to see Thirteen here meet up with her old companions, especially Martha because Ten didn’t treat her the best and Thirteen is able to apologize and offer some closure between the two of them.

Title: Devoted
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] spoilersweetie
Rating: Explicit
Word Count/Length/Size: 27,531 words, 6 chapters
Creator's Summary: Devote: to give all of something, especially your time, effort, or love, or yourself, to something you believe in or to a person
Characters/Pairing: Thirteenth Doctor/Yasmin Khan
Warnings/Notes: Emotional Abuse and Dubious Consent. The Thirteenth Doctor is portrayed very darkly in this fic and is emotionally abusive to Yaz. There are several uncomfortable sex scenes where boundaries are not properly defined and the Doctor often oversteps those boundaries and Yaz often feels incapable of saying no to the Doctor even when she wants to.

Reasons for reccing: This is an absolutely brilliantly written fic. It is of a very dark nature and the Doctor in this fic is almost unrecognizable from the one we know in the show. Almost. It is a very difficult thing to twist a character so much but still make them feel true to themself and I feel like this writer has done that. The Doctor portrayed in this fic is selfish and emotionally abusive, but it never feels OOC and feels like a realistic dimension of the Doctor that could exist. This fic does a brilliant job of portraying the emotionally abusive relationship between the Doctor and Yaz with a lot of nuance and complexity, it feels incredibly real and raw. And I think it does a great job of representing the type of justifications that people do in such a relationship. It's a delightfully twisted and painful fic that treats its subject matter with great deftness.
