Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts
Warnings/Notes: Swearing

Reasons for reccing: For 2016, when Bill was announced as a companion. A funny comic about the Doctor being all "how do you do, fellow kids?" and embarrassing Bill in the process

Title: and they did live by watchfires
Creator: picnokinesis picnokinesis
Rating: Teen and up Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 20,345 words
Creator's Summary: In some timelines, Captain Jark Harkness rescues her from prison. In others, she escapes on her own. In many of them, she makes it back to New Year's Day in Sheffield, 2021.
This is not one of those timelines.
Pairings/Characters: Thirteenth Doctor/The Master (Dhawan)
Warnings/Notes: (partially taken from the fic tags): Prison, unreality, disorientation, Gaslighting, Medical Torture (of sorts), Hallucinations (or not), Blood, some injury but nothing too excessive, Hurt/Comfort, mostly hurt but there IS comfort I promise, Non-Consensual Drug Use
Reasons for reccing: Re-recommending this for 2021 in the anniversary challenge, as this fic is based on the 2021 New Year’s special. This is my favorite 13/Dhawan fic, and probably my fave Doctor/Master fic overall. It’s suspenseful and exciting and has gorgeous imagery. The Doctor and Master are very realistic and in-character. Quotes from “Darkness” by Lord Byron are in the story, and they’re woven in very well and help enhance it. The author also made two drawings that go along with the fic, and they’re both very nice. All in all, this is a FANTASTIC story.

Title: Summary of the Third Doctor's Era 100%
Creator:

johannvesviii
Rating: PG
Word Count/Length/Size: N/A (short 3 panel comic style art)
Creator's Summary: Summary of the Third Doctor’s Era, 100% based on this post made by timewalkxr. (Reccer's note: original text post no longer at the link.)
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor, Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Warnings/Notes: None, other than the Brig wanting shoot things as usual.

Reasons for reccing: For the year 1972, when this era was in full swing. This is a delightfully funny comic strip summary of the Third Doctor's era, excellently drawn here - the Doctor tells the Brig not to shoot the thing, and what does the Brig do? I love the suitably army-coloured background wash and the energy Johannes VIII has given to Three's frantic attempts, in contrast to the Brigadier's stance, and it makes me laugh every time I see it (100%).

Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: The sequence where Thirteen forges herself a new screwdriver was one of my favourite moments in "The Women Who Fell to Earth" and this is a wonderfully warm portrait of this version of the Doctor, with a great colour palette and a happily disheveled Thirteen, still wearing Twelve's old clothes under her protective gear. Just lovely.

Characters/Pairings: Bill Potts/Heather

Reasons for reccing: An amazing and imaginative piece of Bill/Heather art, which mixes the sadness and the wonder and the existential strangeness of both their stories. Stars and transformation and a wonderful use of colour and detail.

Creator's Summary: a realistic digital painting from the climax of Vampire Science.
Characters/Pairings: Eighth Doctor, Joanna Harris
Warnings/Notes: blood and injury

Reasons for reccing: For the Reccer's Bingo square "injury/illness." This is an excellent rendition of Eight doing what he apparently does best--defeating villains by allowing horrific injury to be inflicted upon himself. Heimeldat's really good at capturing what's compelling about these angsty moments, and I particularly love this painting because it gives a face to Joanna Harris, an otherwise text-only character.

It also completes a line in my Reccer's Bingo!

Reasons for reccing: I got Sara in the Character Surprise challenge, and there's very little either fic or art for her, poor soul, but I really like hellmandraws' art and was pleased to find they've drawn her! With the stylized palette and the pose full of movement, it's really bright and intense and lively. There's a nice portrait of Ian looking adorable too.

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.

Warnings/Notes: Mentions of death. It appears the original post was deleted, but the piece was saved through reblogs. So, the link posted will be from one of said reblogs.

Reasons for reccing: Farewell Great Maceson is great, and arrozbrillante's interpretation of this scene is fantastic. It's cartoony and animated and also never fails to make me smile. Love Susan's "Puss in Boots-esque face. This team has come such a long way.
(Also Ian's little blush. Thought it was a nice little touch.)

Characters/Pairings: Eleven, Amy, Rory
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: A fun middle-of-the-action scene, with the Doctor and his companions being chased by a swirly, horse-shaped monster. The winter-y colour scheme is fantastic and highlights both Amy's hair and the creature's glowing eyes.

Reasons for reccing: This is my first rec for the TV Tropes Challenge. As soon as I got randomly assigned the trope Owls Ask "Who?"

I could've recommended her amazing fic and artbook The Light of Neustern for this (on a planet where everyone outside the aristocracy wears animal masks, Seven's is naturally an owl), but I just did, so I thought of this adorable little AU portrait in such a lovely warm style. It's worth a look at this and GrafEdelweiss' other work if you love the Seventh Doctor!

Reasons for reccing: As soon as I saw this month's theme, I thought of Doccywhomst's version of Six's blue coat. It's so chaotic and vivid and glowing and fun, and unlike the simplified animation in Real Time, it's just as ridiculous as the TV costume--just in shades of blue. In this portrait piece, he's back-to-back with an equally chaotic and gorgeous portrait of Four. It's a very Doctorish piece of art.

Also, his lapel pin is a cat with a knife.

Title: The Light of Neustern
Creator:

GrafEdelweiss and translated by

Serameli
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 22,915 words, plus several pages of linked art
Creator's Summary: Neustern is an ideal world made for ideal people. Trees with glass-like leaves, nice houses, young and beautiful faces... and invisible labor of those who are not beautiful enough. Helping the servants and searching the source of strange energy the Doctor and Ace will meet not only narcissistic Neusternians, but also the one who created this 'paradise'.
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, original characters
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is a truly wonderful story that deserves so much more attention. The Doctor and Ace go undercover as servants on Neustern, a world of arrogant, self-obsessed genetically engineered super-people, but they find (of course) that the planet holds even more secrets than they expected.

I'm someone who's often put off by screenplay format, but the character voices and descriptions in this story are so vivid that it's like reading a script from the show itself, and the artbook is gorgeous. The worldbuilding is detailed and memorable, and two of the original characters in particular--I won't say which, because there's a twist--make me wish this was an official story so they could have their own Big Finish spinoff.

If you read Russian, or have a lot of patience for Google Translate, check out the original fic, В сиянии Новой звезды, as well!

Creator's Summary: Parody of Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies. I did this series over the past month or two on my webcomic Doctor Kawaii as a mini series. I love Edward Gorey's art so much, and there are so many people and aliens that die in Doctor Who, that I wrote this out at work on slow day. These are done in pen and ink.

Reasons for reccing: It's rare to find many fanworks for Five & Tegan these days, but this is a lovely one. It's a very sweet piece of art (of Tegan kissing the Doctor's forehead), but unsentimental, and the style works well for the subject, with the contrast of the moon & stars glow illuminating their outlines with the muted evening palette. Surely guaranteed to make you go 'aww' a least a bit, whatever your take on their relationship.

Reasons for reccing: It's a wonderfully expressive black & white sketch or illustration of the two of them - Evelyn, busy inside with a book, but the Doctor's waiting outside in the rain. It's excellent (and, with the weather starting to pour, and things about to change, seasonal, too, I think).
