Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Bill Potts

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

Creator's Summary: While trapped in 1969, the Doctor falls ill with a mysterious sickness. With the Doctor's life in jeopardy, can Martha figure out what's wrong and find a cure in time to save him? Set during the events of Blink.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Martha, OCs
Warnings/Notes: Serious illness, mild blood, other medical stuff, racism

Reasons for reccing: For 1969, because this fic is set in that year. A great fic that allows Martha to show off her doctoring skills. It’s also very well-researched, complete with a citations list at the end

Characters/Pairings: Nardole/Narvin, Bill Potts
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For 2004, as Narvin was introduced this year. This is an utterly hilarious fic and the two of them work surprisingly well together

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.

Creator's Summary: The line "I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love" jumped out to me as very Missy in Death in Heaven, which drove me to make this vid, however I lost interest half way through and it lay dormant for a few months until recent events reinvigorated my interest in this ship.
Characters/Pairings: Basically all versions of Doctor/Master that have appeared in the show
Warnings/Notes: Some guns, violence and death. Slight flashing/flickering about halfway through, again about three fourths of the way through, and at the end. I recced this last year

Reasons for reccing: Submitted for 2015 for the anniversary challenge, as that's the year the song came out. A really good Doctor/Master vid that does a good job of matching footage with a really fun song

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 18,964 words
Creator's Summary:

"And if I am right?"

"Then I am wrong, and I will face the consequences. Are you coming?"

One Gallifreyan, too intelligent for her position. One human, too wild for civilization. A story that spans centuries, a billion miles, and two very different cultures.


Characters/Pairings: Leela/Rodan
Warnings/Notes: Major Character Death, Violence

Reasons for reccing: For the anniversary challenge, year 1978 as this is based on "Invasion of Time", which was broadcast that year. Many people have said that the end of that story would've made more sense if Leela had gotten together with Rodan instead of Andred. This is a great exploration of that premise

Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] frozennightmare 
Rating: general audiences
Word Count: 3,119
Creator’s Summary: Clara is plotting.
Not the evil-pranky-Christmas kind of plotting (although she did consider it and kind of loved the idea), the kind that comes from seeing the owner of a pair of big sad eyes mope around the TARDIS for sixteen hours straight. He doesn’t say anything, but she suspects it’s due to the lack of certain companions traveling with his older selves and his prophetic supposed death on Christmas Day (according to an alien on Androzani, although she’s not sure how much she believes it.)
She’s got Kate Stewart on speed-dial and a time machine wrapped around her finger. She is a god.
Warnings/Notes: None
Characters/Pairings: Eleventh Doctor, literally every TV companion up to the point where the fic was published, but the main one is Clara
Reasons for Reccing: this is such a sweet and nice Christmas fic, I’ve read it every year since I first found it

Not!vid: "Rayla’s TARDIS" (also known as "Rayla and his TARDIS") is a traditional folk song and cautionary tale, catalogued as ballad 423 in the Pythian Index and number 2996 in the Mirraflex Folk Archive. More information can be found at its entry within the Matrix. Any melodic resemblance to the Earth ballad 'Johnny O'Braidesley' is, of course, entirely coincidental.

Reasons for reccing (“Reasons for reccing” in bold): I’m submitting this for lurking_latinist’s “unconventional fanworks” request, along with the “fanvids” theme at [community profile] fancake. This is a recording of a Gallifreyan folk ballad that Kitty wrote, and a “Maxrixpedia” article about it. The article is extremely funny, especially the talk page, and the ballad itself is performed very well.

Creator's Summary (“Creator’s summary” in bold): The Game of Rassilon is one of those “actual-play” podcasts, except instead of playing D&D or Pathfinder we’re playing Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game by Cubicle 7. Telling stories with a unique Doctor exploring time and space with a crew of unlikely companions, with an emphasis on great stories and, we hope, big laughs.

Warnings/Notes (“Warnings/Notes” in bold): Violence at about the same level as the show throughout, temporary major character death. A lot of warnings that I can think of only apply to a few serials so if you need/want additional warnings let me know and I’ll tell you.
Reasons for reccing (“Reasons for reccing” in bold): I’m submitting this for the “Other Doctors” theme and [personal profile] lurking_latinist ’s “unconventional fanworks” request. This is a really great podcast, it’s pretty silly at the beginning but becomes more serious and plotty as it goes on, though the jokes never stop entirely. All the players are great and bounce off each other well, and it’s obvious that they enjoy playing together. Season 4 started on June 1, so it’s a great time to get caught up.

Creator's Summary (“Creator’s summary” in bold): People are dying throughout time. And the Doctor has abandoned her companions.

Back in Sheffield, Yaz, Ryan, and Graham wait, watching the increasingly desperate news on the TV and slowly losing hope. It’s been three months since the Doctor left them—to die, it seems.

At the end of the universe, Clara Oswald travels to Gallifrey to beg the Time Lords for one simple request: we need your help. The universe is dying.

One dimension removed, Rose Tyler hacks at the universe walls, risking her entire world in an attempt to break through—not that it matters, because her world is already dead.

Characters (“Characters” in bold):Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Clara Oswin Oswald, Rose Tyler, Ryan Sinclair, Graham O'Brien, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Petronella Osgood, Ashildr | Lady Me, River Song
Warnings/Notes (“Warnings/Notes” in bold): To quote the author, “Okay, so when I wrote this fic last summer, I did not foresee there there would be an ACTUAL (“actual” in caps) pandemic happening at this point.” Therefore, expect illness, death (not of main characters), etc is present. There is also at least one incident involving threat of death that is not directly related to the fictional disease.

Reasons for reccing (“Reasons for reccing” in bold): I’m submitting this as my fourth entry in the “Claim a Character” challenge. I’m also submitting this for the seasonal challenge. If you ever wanted to see the Thirteenth Doctor and/or her companions meet past New Who companions, then this is for you - Clara, Rose, Kate, Osgood, and River all show up. In fact, the Doctor isn’t even in the fic for the first several chapters (though she is a major character once she does appear), meaning that the beginning has a lot of focus on Thirteen’s companions getting to know other companions, and the other companions getting to know each other. The main plot itself is very well done and well paced, timely-wimey and tangled without ever getting too confusing. I read this as it came out and was excited to read each update.

I mean. How could I not write it?
Also there are not enough fics that take God’s POV and motivations into account. Especially when God is as daft as a brush.

Title: Two Can Play At That Game
Creator: HiNerdsItsCat ([archiveofourown.org profile] HiLarpItsCat)
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 52,886 words
Creator's Summary: The offer was accepted and the arrangement was made: to save her friends from the Cybermen, the Thirteenth Doctor agreed to ten trips with the Master in his TARDIS—but before they could depart, the Doctor threw in an additional complication:

“If you’re hearing this, it means that you just realised you couldn’t open the locket. You shouldn’t leave things like Chameleon Arches lying about like that, you know. People can get up to all sorts of mischief if left alone with one. So here’s my end of the deal: the locket will open after ten trips in the TARDIS. Until then, you’re stuck with your new human companion, Jenny Smith. I’ll still be travelling with you… I just won’t have to be there for it.”

—which is when the Master added in a complication of his own:

“If you want to run from your problems and hide inside a little human costume… fine. Two can play at that game.”

Meanwhile in Bristol, the Twelfth Doctor’s decades-long routine of eccentric lecturing and vault guarding is about to be upended by the two most disruptive students St. Luke’s University has ever had: the perpetually bickering Jenny Smith and Harry Jones.
Characters: Fobwatched Thirteenth Doctor, Twelfth Doctor, Fobwatched The Master (Dhawan), Missy (Doctor Who)
Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor/The Master (Dhawan)m Twelfth Doctor/Missy, Thirteenth Doctor & Twelfth Doctor, Twelfth Doctor & The Master (Dhawan), The Master (Dhawan) & Missy, Thirteenth Doctor & Missy
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: In addition to being my second entry for the seasonal challenge, I’m also counting it towards both parts of the monthly theme - in addition to have big not one but two Masters, there’s a ton of humor in this one! Jenny and Harry’s antics are extremely funny, and the author does an excellent job at rewriting series 10 episodes - unlike many authors who try and rewrite the whole story, Cat only writes the parts that have major changes in them due to Twelve’s companions being Jenny and Harry instead of Bill. The result is that the episode rewrites fell fresh and interesting. It’s not all fluff and roses though - there’s a decent amount and angst, especially at the end. Cat’s also writing a series of sequels and side-stories to this one, so if you finish this one and fins yourself wanting more, you can also read those.

Creator's Summary: On a human colony where Baroque France and classical Rome are so far in Earth’s legendary past that both are mined for “wisdom of the ancients,” the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa are swept into a fantastic world of pageantry, allegory, advanced gravitational engineering, dance and court intrigue.

The Doctor believes Nyssa has found true love. Nyssa believes she has found someone who needs their help. After the Doctor leaves Nyssa to her new life, she’s forced to embrace the masquerade far more deeply than she had intended. Will the Doctor defy the Web of Time to extricate her from the jaws of history?

Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Nyssa
Warnings/Notes: Pregnancy. Minor spoilers for: Big Finish 1001 Nights, Demons of Red Lodge, Circular Time "Autumn," Eternal Summer, Spare Parts.
