REC [Vids] What About Everything? and Somewhere Only We Know

Title: First Doctor Era | What About Everything?
Creator: relative-dimension-in-space
Rating: gen
Length: 3:44
Creator's Summary: I feel like this song captures the uniqueness of the Hartnell era and the feeling that you could truly encounter absolutely any strange thing each week. Those early days were full of experimentation with the genre that still sets it apart today and I love that about it so much.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor and all his companions
Warnings/Notes: none

[Fic] Five Times Methos met The Doctor by kesomon

Title:Five Times Methos met The Doctor archiveofourown.org/works/7943194

Creator:

Rating
: General

Word Count/Length/Size: 5109 words

Creator's Summary: When a man bound to the slow path is the oldest of humankind, it's only natural he should run into a man who can travel anywhere, anywhen. I cherish my headcanon that Jack and Jamie are Highlander Immortals found and taught by Methos, Matthew McCormick, and Connor MacLeod, respectively. And that Ten and Martha stayed with the Chestertons during Blink.

Characters/Pairings: Methos, First Doctor, Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Jack Harkness, Jamie McCrimmon, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright

Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: In addition to my love for DW, I have loved Highlander for a very long time, especially Methos, the oldest immortal. Note: this was originally posted online about a month before The Fires of Pompeii, so the explanation for the eruption is not the same.
