Reasons for reccing: For the Monthly Theme and Sylv and Sophie's birthday. :)  This is a fun and heartwarming crossover idea. If anyone has read/seen Matilda (if not,  go do it as soon as possible, it's wonderful :)) , you should be aware of how it ends.  And the thought of the Doctor and Ace being involved is spectacular.  And everyone is in character here.

Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Snow White (from Once Upon a Time)
Warnings/Notes: None. (Though if I read the tags right,  this takes places for Twelve around the time of The Pilot, and for Snow after s6.  There's not much spoilers) 

Reasons for reccing: For Rec Bingo.   Using Fairy Tales as my WILD CARD.  :)  So how 'bout a crossover with a fairytale based fandom?  This crossover WORKS.  Both are in character, and it's a brilliant idea to put one of the most acerbic versions of the Doctor with someone who is probably the most hopeful and kind in the universe.

Creator's Summary: It is a fact universally acknowledged that any beings splintered in time will inevitably run into each other. No law says it has to end well, though…
    Characters/Pairings: Clara Oswin Oswald (splinter)/ Scaroth (splinter),   mentions of other characters 
Warnings/Notes:  Copying the actual notes: " Warnings for inevitable Clara splinter death and general fake relationship dodginess, although no tentacle pr0n, sadly/thankfully (delete as applicable). I'm sure someone else on the internet will tackle that one eventually, there's a rule..." 

Reasons for reccing: Bonus rec for 1979 , when City of Death aired.  This is a fantastic premise. Ever thought about the fact that Clara wasn't the only who got turned into shards? Ever wanted to see a Clara shard in a Gothic style setting? :)  Then here you are.  I love all the little details, and definitely read the coda at the end.

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 2134 words
Creator's Summary: Getting tied up was an occupational hazard, but this was knot how Romana expected her day to go...
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor/Romana II, followed by Eighth Doctor/Romana II
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: For the "Accidental Marriage" square in my Reccers' Bingo. It's a cute and pretty fluffy story where some guards tie up the Doctor and Romana (as usual) but accidentally use a ceremonial knot used in Gallifreyan weddings. They decide it doesn't have to count... but then, on the other hand, it could... Lots of very in-character banter and fun Gallifreyan worldbuilding.

Creator's Summary:

The Doctor and Charley accidentally get married after a misunderstanding on an alien planet.

It doesn’t have to mean anything. Not unless they want it to.

Characters/Pairings: Eighth Doctor/Charley Pollard
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: Also for the "Accidental Marriage" square. Eight and Charley were made for this trope, with their spectacularly ambiguous will-they-won't-they-are-they-aren't-they relationship, and this fic hits all the right notes, with the Doctor hilariously blasé about their accidental marriage and Charley unsure what to make of any of it. The alien planet is beautifully described, too. And the epilogue is adorable!

Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I am counting this as a trope for the monthly theme, because this contains all the Ace Nitro 9 and the Doctor's opinions on it tropes that you see a lot in fic. Which is not to say it's a bad thing, it's a trope I enjoy. This fic neatly encapsulates it all into few words. Along with the TARDIS never lands where it's supposed to trope, which is enjoyed by the TV series just as much as it is in fic. It makes for a good back and forth between the Doctor and Ace as they defend their piloting/Nitro 9 timer setting.

Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] thisbluespirit
Rating: gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 5260 words
Creator's Summary: Captain Janeway doesn't think much of time travellers and higher beings who turn up on board her ship. The Doctor doesn't take much notice of prime directives. It's a tea vs. coffee thing.
Characters/Pairings: Eleventh Doctor, First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Third Doctor, Jo Grant, Ninth Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown, Eighth Doctor, Charley Pollard, Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, Tom Paris
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: A brilliant and well written crossover that makes both canons feel like they fit together seamlessly. The voices and interactions are spot-on, not just for Janeway and several versions of the Doctor, whose scenes go from serious to funny and back, but also for all the small appearances by companions and Voyager crew members. There's a lot of humour and great timing, and I really like its little meta aspect when it lets Janeway and the Doctor talk about interfering in other peoples' business and travel options.

Reasons for reccing: If the Eleventh Doctor was going to have a threesome this is how it would go. And who he would ask for advice afterwards. The Doctor and Rory are perfectly in character here and I can picture it from the dialogue, with the Doctor being overly excitable and Rory not really wanting to know what he got up with his daughter.

And the Sixth Doctor at his pompous best being as accurate as usual with the TARDIS piloting. It's got Peri trying to deal with him. And eleven year olds who annoy Sixie and and have characters of their own, who come out in the fic, despite having few (or no) lines. And it has plenty of great lines.

Creator's Summary: The Doctor tries taking Yaz on some nice, calm, normal dates. It goes about exactly as well as you'd imagine.
Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor/Yasmin Khan

Reasons for reccing: For the romance theme, I wanted to rec this adorable Thirteen/Yaz fic, published in this year's Chocolate Box exchange, by our dear mod, which deserves all the attention it can get. As I may have said before, I have a soft spot for romance fics that include plenty of the humour, mayhem, things going wrong and running around that belongs to the show. I also like it when romance involving the Doctor shows the Doctor not quite knowing how to do human things but trying anyway. This is one of the best if not the best I've read of that sort, and Thirteen and Yaz are charmingly themselves, it's hilarious, and it's happy and feel-good. I'm pretty sure it works whether you actually ship them or not!

It also contains lines such as: Although, she had to admit that now she wasn’t only sort of jealous of a time machine, she was kind of jealous of a universe disguised as a frog and entities unknown who went on dates that lasted for twenty-four years. The competition was bizarre, you could say that much.

as well as:

“Doctor,” said Yaz, trying to sound casually conversational, which wasn’t the easiest thing right now, “do you, er, have tentacles?”

Which should be enough to convince anyone, right?

It's written by none other than our lovely comm admin. I'm all for endearing, humorous Vicki & One fic, and they're both delightful in this.

This is also my fill for the bingo square "Supernatural" in my reccer's bingo card. I don't go out to seek supernatural fics in the Whovian fandom (at least, more supernatural than about 75 % of the show's science is already), so yay for some light-hearted necromancy/magic.
