Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (2nd), Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield

Reasons for reccing: Seasonal Challenge- R. This is some cute and fun Team Two fluff. I can hear their voices and this feels like it could happen during this time.

Title: Telling Stories
Creator:

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1410 words
Creator's Summary: Ian’s started telling stories to his local library about a mad old man with a box... but why does it all feel wrong?
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a change from the usual stories where Ian and Barbara get married as soon as they go home. In this you can feel Ian's melancholy at missing his life with the Doctor (and with Barbara), and the ending is a happy surprise.

Rating: Explicit
Word Count/Length/Size: 4285
Creator's Summary: Sacrificing himself to a swamp god was just one more of the Fifth Doctor's spectacularly bad ideas to save the universe, or at least protect a village. Nyssa had good reason to fear he wouldn't come out of this one unscathed.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Nyssa of Traken
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: P for the Seasonal Challenge.

This is some lovely, dreamy, atmospheric prose! The both of them are IC and it's wonderful seeing these express their feelings for each other )even if the Doctor is bad at it :))

Title: The Long, Long Shadow
Creator:

vailkagami
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 4086 words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barabara are gone, the Daleks are defeated, and Steven made it into the TARDIS just in time. But there is still a problem of more Daleks to take care of, and the method of getting rid of them is not something the Doctor is keen on trying.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, The Doctor's TARDIS
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting idea, that the Daleks wouldn't stop chasing them after The Chase. And it's coupled with Steven trying to get used to the TARDIS. And a look at the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS; how the TARDIS thinks of time. And a dash of knowledge from the future.

Reasons for reccing: N for the Seasonal Challenge.

This is a nice bit of backstory for the two of them and I could definitely see something like this happening. Especially given that these two are established as...not exactly the best students.

Characters/Pairings: Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, Jake Simmonds, Jackie Tyler, Pete Tyler, Original Characters

Creator's Summary: Harry visits Sarah Jane, and tries an old argument one last time.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith/Harry Sullivan, Luke Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's both sweet and amusing. Harry is very Harry-like in this and he fits seemlessly into SJA. Luke's reactions to him are amusing and the relationships between all three of them are sweet.

Title: Doctor Who - The Daleks (1963) (Creepy Fan Trailer)
Creator: cbatt91337
Rating: None given
Word Count/Length/Size: 1:59
Creator's Summary: Featuring the original music by Tristram Cary with additional music by the Audio Machine, this is a trailer for William Hartnell's' second story and the Daleks first.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None given, but there is quite a bit of flashing images in it

Reasons for reccing: It's a really creepy and make the serial look like it's a creepy atmospheric, excitingly paced set of episodes. Which it probably was in the 60s, but this gives us a flavour of how it might have felt to people watching it for the first time when it was first broadcast. It certainly made me really want to re-watch it.

Word Count/Length/Size: 3709 words
Creator's Summary:

“Ian—”

He immediately cuts her off, “Barbara, there’s something I ought to tell you—”

The TARDIS doors opening is loud and nearly causes both of them to jump out of their skin, ruining the moment. Susan appears and gestures for them to come back inside.

(or: five times Ian tries to let Barbara know he's in love with her + one time he actually does)
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright

Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's an amusing story that's typical of the sort of things they got up to. Which a twist in the end, which is also pretty typical.

Title: Ian Chesterton | Take the Long Way Home
Creator: relative-dimension-in-space
Rating: Not rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 3:38
Creator's Summary:
Oh, I cried making this. It's something I knew I wanted to do when this time came but being prepared to make it did not make this easier.

I'm honestly in a bit of shock. It doesn't feel real, somehow. With Russ's age I've expected it for years now but because he's always defied my expectations by still holding on it's really hard to believe it now that it's happened. I can't say how grateful I am that we got to see him as Ian one last time and that we got to share this world with him for as long as we did. It's been a joy being in the Classic Who fandom for 11 years now and knowing that one of the all-time greats was still with us. My heart has been so broken all day, but I'm sure it's a relief to him to be able to rest now and reunite with family and loved ones. I'd like to think Bill, Jackie, and Verity are holding a little party right about now. My prayers are with his family left behind on this side.

This tribute is dedicated in memory of William Russell and his wonderfully long life. He truly took the very, very long way back home to his Father in Heaven. Cheers and rest in peace, Russ.

Again.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Vislor Turlough
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a great idea, having Ian and Turlough at the same school. The parallels between Turlough and Susan that help Ian spot another alien is really interesting.

Reasons for reccing: For the wild card on my bingo square. This is a fun fic from SJA's early days, where the kids are convinced something alien is going on, and the Doctor and Donna visit Sarah Jane.

Word Count/Length/Size: 3:15
Creator's Summary: A celebration of kisses in Doctor Who. Mostly new Who (because that's where all the kissing happens) but with a sprinkling of classic Who too.
Characters/Pairings: Way too many to list - it's most of the Doctors and companions
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the kissing/hugging square on my bingo card. This is a fun vid of not just the kisses (because then it would be really short), but also the friendship (and engagement in the First Doctor's case).

Characters/Pairings: Missy/Master (Simm), Twelfth Doctor, Tenth Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the villains square on my bingo card. This is a short fun vid with the clips fitting to the words. It encapsulates what fun baddies they were. And an amusing Englishman interruption.

Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Rachel Jensen

Characters/Pairings: Donna Noble, The Doctor, All the companions from eleven twelve and thirteen's run, Rose Noble
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the Disguise square on my bingo card. It's a sweet fic, with the Doctor and companions disguised as carolers. It's all seen from Donna's POV, but it's easy to tell which Doctors and companions they are.

Word Count/Length/Size: 1039
Creator's Summary: The Doctor told himself he hadn’t had a choice - but in the hearts of his he knew that wasn’t true. Of course there’d been a choice. There was always a choice. He’d chosen to kill his friends. And he’d do it again.
Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (2nd), Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Sacrifice box on Rec Bingo. This is atmospheric and beautiful, dealing with the Doctor having to make a hard choice. Ends on a nice note though!

Reasons for reccing: For the Tragedy box on my Rec Bingo card. I usually try to mix up the authors I rec, and I've already rec'd one other of this author's work. But, I read this again recently and it's beautifully tragic. It shows Joan's POV and dealing with her loss.

Creator's Summary: Clara's Victorian governess incarnation reads a story to the children in the nursery.
Characters/Pairings: Clara Oswin Oswald, Lucie Miller, Izzy Sinclair, The Master (Ainley, Simm), Missy, and a bunch of cameos
Warnings/Notes: None. All you really need to know is that this takes place in an AU "outside of continuity" in which the Doctors and companions are toddlers in a nursery.

Reasons for reccing: For the Framing Device box on my Rec Bingo card. This is a hilarious and cute fic. The idea of Clara telling the babies a story (with characters acting it out and interrupting it) is awesome. It's a clever retelling and several moments are just fun to picture.
