Title: Trying To Communicate
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] Copperbadge
Rating: Teen and Up
Word Count/Length/Size: 1848
Warnings/Notes: None
Summary: There's an alien in the Hub, and it's trying to communicate.
Reasons for reccing: Something I think I recced a long time ago on the LJ version of this community, I've recced it again because the author added another short chapter last year, and because there is now a podfic of the original chapter. A lovely bit of Torchwood fun.

Title: More Than an Echo
Creator: samfeasor
Rating:
All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: Series of 17 stories, lengths 420 to 1259 words
Creator's Summary: The continuing adventures of the Doctor's daughter. A creature of first experiences, she is growing and learning exponentially, traveling the universe in the year 6012 (New Byzantine Calendar) and trying to lead the kind of life that would make her father proud: an exemplary one. These stories take place, to the best of my ability, in "chronological" order, as Jenny ages and learns from day to day.
Characters/Pairings: Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:
Continuing my last-minute dash at my seasonal challenge, "Companions that Never Were." Jenny is an unusual "othered" character, an adult whose life is only days long and is naive about most aspects of human existence. This series of vignettes explores that otherness as she starts to explore the universe and learn more about herself, her parents, and life. The first story is set a few days after her birth, the last two years and forty-six days into her life.

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I wanted to post a last Martha rec before the end of the quarterly challenge and decided to look for an early one, before fanfic had settled into a rut concerning the character. And it turned out that the first one on AO3 was very good, and all about the transition between Rose and Martha, showing Ten in a not entirely flattering light.

Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones, Buffy Summers
Warnings/Notes: - none

Reasons for reccing: Another fun story, set during Blink with the addition of Buffy, in which Martha's diary chronicles her growing exasperation at being trapped in 1969 with not one but two hyperactive companions, The Doctor and Buffy.

Reasons for reccing: This is one of the best takes on the Groundhog Day idea I've ever read, showing Martha at her best. It's a new story written for a ficathon and I don't have the author's name yet, but I'll be very interested to see what else they've written once it's revealed.

Creator's Summary: "I'm Doctor Martha Jones," she told the pale man in the black, gold, and green armor who had invaded UNIT. "Who the hell are you?"
Characters/Pairings: Martha Jones, Loki (Marvel), Phil Coulson (Marvel)
Warnings/Notes: This was written right after the first Avengers trailer came out in October 2011, so it's not movie-canon compliant. Written for the prompt "enemies" for crossovers100 on LJ.

Reasons for reccing: I like crossovers, and I like competent Martha Jones stories. This is both, a nice take on Martha's involvement in the invasion of New York (The Avengers), the first of a series, in which Martha adds Loki to her enemies list (and vice versa)

Reasons for reccing: One of the delights of crossovers is the possibility of creating total crack and extreme silliness. This one is as cracky as a very cracky thing with extra crack on the silliness, and I love it.

Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage/Jessica Jones
Warnings/Notes: TW: there are no real graphic depictions of rape in this story, but it is mentioned. There is also some non-violent self-harm, of the denying-self-things-necessary-to-life variety, and one scene later on that is somewhat dark (although the situation is...complicated).

Reasons for reccing: One of David Tennant's roles post the tenth Doctor was Killgrave, a mind-controlling psychopath, in Marvel's Jessica Jones. This story explores the reactions of the Jessica Jones characters confronted with the monster they thought they'd destroyed. Meanwhile the Doctor suspects that Killgrave might be a future version of himself...

Creator's Summary: Ten year old Harry Potter finds a dusty fob watch in the attic, and has no idea how this will change his life and destiny forever.
Characters/Pairings: Harry Potter, Martha Jones, Micky Smith
Warnings/Notes: -

Reasons for reccing: A nice story, the first of a series, in which the Doctor goes the fob-watch route and dies human, and his grandson, one Harry Potter, inherits a name and a rather weird life-style. It's a good blend of both worlds, though the Who side actually gets more action, and you get fun stuff like Micky and Martha reacting to a Doctor who appears to be about 12 years old. The sequels include an unfinished AU where Harry becomes the Master rather than the Doctor

Creator's Summary: no summary
Characters/Pairings: Daleks
Warnings/Notes: no warnings

Reasons for reccing: This is just awesome - a lovely CGI-illustrated web comic (possibly inspired by the TV21 Comic Daleks story of the late 60s) running to 700+ instalments but now complete, the history of the first Dalek civil war - with lots of wonderful weapons, weird technology, and more than a few references to Star Wars and other fun stuff. Keep your eyes open for things going on in the background, gratuitous use of lava lamps, etc.. What it doesn't contain is The Doctor, although there are hints that he might have once existed, or has erased knowledge of himself from their records - but the Daleks consider them to be the equivalent of silly season stories! It's an amazing story and I thoroughly recommend it.

A lot of the instalments can also be downloaded as CGI animation, but the last time I checked it wasn't the entire story.

Warnings/Notes: Crossover, occasional dirty language, shameful anti-Ten propaganda (depending on how liberal your definition of 'propaganda' is)

Reasons for reccing: A brilliant Doctor Who / Young Wizards crossover which has as far as I know only been posted to the Livejournal Young Wizards community [livejournal.com profile] myriadwords. It takes a look at the Tenth Doctor's treatment of Donna in the context of the Young Wizards version of magic and the universe, and comes up with some uncomfortable answers.

The link below is to the LAST part of the story, which has links to all of the previous instalments.

Reasons for reccing: There are a lot of Avengers / DW crossovers out there, this was the first I saw that found a good way to use the background of the collapsing universe in the Pandorica story arc. It's also a great portrayal of an amnesic Rory trying to figure out who he is and discovering the weird skills he's acquired over 2000 years.
