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.

Reasons for reccing: For the Monthly Theme and Sylv and Sophie's birthday. :)  This is a fun and heartwarming crossover idea. If anyone has read/seen Matilda (if not,  go do it as soon as possible, it's wonderful :)) , you should be aware of how it ends.  And the thought of the Doctor and Ace being involved is spectacular.  And everyone is in character here.

Characters/Pairings:  Ace McShane, Adric, Leela, Mel Bush, Peri Brown, Romana II, The Doctor (8th), The Doctor (Other), The Master (Other), The Rani, The Silurians, The Valeyard, The Yeti
Warnings/Notes: None.  

Reasons for reccing: Yes, that's the actual title.   It's a parody of bad fic:  the funniest and most accurate parody I think I've ever read.   I honestly don't know how much I can say here without spoiling it.  But we all have come across fic like this at some point.

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!

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.

Reasons for reccing: For the Road trip/voyage box on my Rec Bingo card.  This story shows the voyages of one little bear.  Hi-Fi is a pretty overlooked character, but here he goes through so much and it's wonderful.  How the other companions view the bear feels in character.

Creator's Summary: After the Big Finish "Five Companions" Audio, the Doctor has to see his friends back to their proper places and times. Saying goodbye to one of them is more pleasant than expected, and more painful than the Doctor lets on.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Nyssa of Traken,  Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright,  cameos by Polly Wright, Sara Kingdom, and Steven Taylor
Warnings/Notes: Sexual content ,  WAFF (warm and fuzzy feeling).  (Might want to listen to or find a summary of the aforementioned audio if you want context, but there's not much spoiler content) 

Reasons for reccing: (Wait, have I not rec'd this yet? Wow)  For the Romance box on Rec Bingo.  This is a beautifully done work.  You can hear everyone's voices and all the little details are incredible.  It really shows the Doctor and Nyssa's bond.

Characters/Pairings: Twelfth Doctor, Snow White (from Once Upon a Time)
Warnings/Notes: None. (Though if I read the tags right,  this takes places for Twelve around the time of The Pilot, and for Snow after s6.  There's not much spoilers) 

Reasons for reccing: For Rec Bingo.   Using Fairy Tales as my WILD CARD.  :)  So how 'bout a crossover with a fairytale based fandom?  This crossover WORKS.  Both are in character, and it's a brilliant idea to put one of the most acerbic versions of the Doctor with someone who is probably the most hopeful and kind in the universe.

Rating: Mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 6666
Creator's Summary: A series of vignettes roughly parallelling the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa’s later Big Finish adventures, when their partnership is as natural as Four’s had been with Romana. And in much the same way, there’s a certain frisson going on that neither of them, especially the Doctor, is willing to acknowledge.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Nyssa of Traken
Warnings/Notes: References to sex, violence/assault,  ummm... the vastness of space? Also Spoilers to: Castle of Fear, Eternal Summer, *Plague of the Daleks, Spare Parts, Renaissance of the Daleks, Haunting of Thomas Brewster, Demons of Red Lodge, *Creatures of Beauty, *1001 Nights, Fanfare for the Common Men, and *Masquerade. (* = major spoilers giving away plot twists; the rest are references to minor details.)

Reasons for reccing: For the Monthly Theme.  This is honestly my favorite fic for these two.  The writing and details are gorgeous and Five and Nyssa are very in-character.  This really shows their realtionship well. (It is not necessary to have heard all the audios, but it helps )

Reasons for reccing: Bonus rec for 1979 , when City of Death aired.  This is a fantastic premise. Ever thought about the fact that Clara wasn't the only who got turned into shards? Ever wanted to see a Clara shard in a Gothic style setting? :)  Then here you are.  I love all the little details, and definitely read the coda at the end.
