 Title: Physician, Heal Thyself 
Creator:  archiveofourown.org/users/auronlu/pseuds/TrakeniteTourist
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 :))

Rec (Fic)- Little Things by thisbluespirit

Rating: General 
Word Count/Length/Size: 974
Creator's Summary:  Sometimes it’s the little things that count.
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, Matilda Wormwood 
Warnings/Notes: None

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.

Creator:  Astrid 
Rating: All Ages 
Word Count/Length/Size:  608

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.

Rec (Fic)- Choices by Penny

 Title: Choices 
Creator: Penny 
Rating: Teen 
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!

Rec (Fic) - You Can Go by Shivver

Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] Shivver 
Rating: General 
Word Count/Length/Size: 494 
Creator's Summary:
Characters/Pairings: Joan Redfern 
Warnings/Notes: None (it helps if you know what happens in Human Nature/The Family of Blood) 

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.

Rec (Fic)- Storytime: The Three Bears by JohnAmendAll

 
Title: Storytime: The Three Bears 
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] JohnAmendAll 
Rating: General 
Word Count/Length/Size: 3354
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.

Warnings/Notes: None 

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: Charley brings back a surprise from an alien marketplace.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor and Charley Pollard

Reasons for reccing: For the "Alien creatures/magical beasts" box on Rec Bingo.  I might be biased since this was written for me,  but this is a delightful story.  It is always nice seeing the Doctor and companion with animals to love.  This author gets their voices and character perfectly.

Rec (Fic) - Before and After by TrakeniteTourist (auronlu)

 Title: Before and After
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] auronlu  (TrakeniteTourist ) 
Rating: Mature
Word Count/Length/Size: 4458
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.

Rec (Fic)- Myths and Legends by thisbluespirit

 Title: Myths and Legends 
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] thisbluespirit 
Rating: General 
Word Count/Length/Size: 1717
Creator's Summary: We're all stories in the end, it's true - and, sooner or later, all stories find themselves in Storybrooke.
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.

Creator's Summary: This wasn't the life Martha was born to, or the life that the Doctor had promised her. Why was she doing this again?
Characters/Pairings: Martha Jones
Warnings/Notes: 
None
Reasons for reccing: For the Monthly Theme.  
Human Nature (either version) is one of my favorite Who Things, and it's always cool to find fic related to it. 
This is a beautiful moment for Martha, and a good portrait of her personality and thoughts .  

(This fic is part of a series called A Teacher and A Housemaid, but is standalone)
