Title: Telling Stories
Creator: whilewilde
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.

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.

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: i can’t keep this love a secret, & i don’t want to go on longing
Creator: mechup
Rating: General
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
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's very sweet and it's very them.

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.

Reasons for reccing: It's a fun vid showing Ian Chesterton, the fun things he got up to. It reminded me just how much I enjoy his era of Doctor Who.

MISSY DESERVED BETTER. Master, you deceitful round face, I waited for you for so long, HOW COULD YOU. Still, their chemistry was breathtaking. Give me a spin-off about those two weeks they've spent together on 507 floor. Like, NOW.

Song - Hit and run by LOLO

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.
