Title: Kiss Me | A Doctor Who fanvid
Creator: [youtube.com profile] thethirdromana
Rating: Not rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 3:15
Creator's Summary: A celebration of kisses in Doctor Who. Mostly new Who (because that's where all the kissing happens) but with a sprinkling of classic Who too.
Characters/Pairings: Way too many to list - it's most of the Doctors and companions
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the kissing/hugging square on my bingo card. This is a fun vid of not just the kisses (because then it would be really short), but also the friendship (and engagement in the First Doctor's case).

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

Reasons for reccing: A lovely episode tag for "The Next Doctor". I always loved the chemistry between Jackson and Ten, and that Jackson manages to change the Doctor's mind when it comes to spending christmas with them at the end. This is what happens when he accompanies him back to the TARDIS a second time. Written from Jackson's POV, the story is gentle and slightly bittersweet, with this comforting moment of warmth and connection between them that eases the weight of their losses for a bit.

Creator's Summary: Jamie was struggling to keep up with events. One moment he’d been fleeing through the halls of the space station, then he’d run slap bang into a man clad in green velvet who’d greeted him by name in the most delighted tone and then expected Jamie to know who he was. Or, Jamie runs into Eight and shags him in a cupboard.
Characters/Pairings: Eighth Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon, Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon, Charley Pollard, Zoe Heriot
Warnings/Notes: Contains some explicit sex between Eight and Jamie.

Reasons for reccing: Both for the monthly theme of multi-era, and for the seasonal challenge (due to being of type slash, and Jamie/Eight is a rare pairing, and also Charley Pollard as a character, though she's only got a fairly short part in this). I did kind of promise to bring more explicit slash on board, among other things. ;-) Anyway, I have a fondness not only for Two/Jamie but also for Jamie getting... involved with other, later Doctors. This my favourite story of that specific type, being fun, feel-good and feeling true to the characters. I loved reading it even before I was at all familiar with Eight, but now that I know him (and Charley) from the audios, it's even more fun.

Word Count/Length/Size: about 8,600 words (that's what the writer gives it as, so I don't know more precisely)
Creator's Summary: Jack Harkness is your average American high school boy. 100% AU, be mindful of the crack.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness, Ianto Jones, Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato, Martha Jones, Rhys Williams, Tommy Brockless, Owen Harper, the Tenth Doctor. Jack/Ianto as the main pairing; side-pairings are many.
Notes: AU/fusion with the 1995 film Clueless.

Reasons for reccing: I nearly forgot that I meant to rec more stuff for the AU theme, especially one of my favourite silly AUs of all time: this hilarious fusion of Torchwood with Clueless that somehow works. Jack is Cher. Because of course he is. Gwen is the bestie, naturally, Toshiko is the clueless newcomer, and Ianto the surprisingly attractive ex-stepbrother. It's funny, adorable, and much more feel-good than Torchwood canon, trust me. This is the one American high school AU I totally recommend!

Title: Selkie Song (series)
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] eggling
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 51,191 for the whole series, 3 works
Creator's Summary: (Don't have a summary for a whole series, so here's the summary for the first part:) "I remember there was always music. Everywhere we went, the selkie songs echoed through the water and on the beaches, sometimes for days afterwards, like they'd been caught on the kelp and the stones."

The people of the sea can seldom stay with those they love, but their songs always remain.

Characters/Pairings: Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon. Also Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Victoria Waterfield, Zoe Heriot, Isobel Watkins. Ben/Polly and Zoe/Isobel as background pairings.

Notes: A selkie AU

Reasons for reccing: I don't read a lot of different-universe AUs, but I make an exception for fairy tale / folklore AUs a bit more often than other types, and this one kept coming up in my searches, so I gave it a try and loved it. It's a selkie/Fae AU and a Two/Jamie romance, and this AU works a lot better than I would have expected, and everyone's Fae versions make sense and the character interactions are lovely. It probably helps that Jamie's canon background makes the Celtic folklore connection feel natural, and the Doctor as a Selkie works as an analogue for the Doctor's canon existence. Also, Two makes quite an adorable seal!

It is very romantic, so make sure you're in a mood for that when you read it - and make sure you need more than just the first part of the series! Things do get sad and angsty in parts, so be prepared for that as well.

The first two parts are longer stories that follow one another, and the third part is a collection of short scenes from before, during, and after the first two stories. They're not necessary to get the main story, but some of them are pretty delightful.

Reasons for reccing: Another for the romance theme and my beloved Two/Jamie pairing. This is a recent, quite adorable little fic where they're actually trying to be on a date, but of course things haven't gone as planned, because this is the Doctor we're talking about. Also the Doctor's ideas of a date are a bit more grandiose than your average "restaurant and candlelight" scenario. As they would be. I have a special soft spot for stories that combine the inevitable chaos and frolic and humour of life around the Doctor with some sweet romantic fluff, and this definitely fits the bill.

Reasons for reccing: A beautiful, beautiful drawing of the Second Doctor and Jamie almost kissing. The theme for this month was romance, and I'm deeply, deeply in love with Second Doctor/Jamie as a ship, so naturally I'm going to have to rec some works for that pairing (stand prepared, there will be more). Here is one of my favourite pieces of Two/Jamie fan art, by Van Donovan who's also written some lovely fics for that pairing. I utterly adore this picture - the style is so beautiful, a bit dreamy, both characters look great, and the almost-kiss position is lovely. And I think I've put in enough generally enthusiastic adjectives into one paragraph now.

Word Count/Length/Size: 36,514
Creator's Summary: Stranded in Cardiff by his Time Lord twin, the human Doctor must carve out a life for himself at a Torchwood still reeling from losing two of their own.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness / Ianto Jones / Tenth Doctor (duplicate). Gwen Cooper, Martha Jones.
Warnings/Notes: Explicit m/m (and m/m/m) sex in this one, too.

Reasons for reccing: Another of my favourite Torchwood fics, though this one is a New Who crossover; and another one of my "wait, must get in Torchwood recs before February ends!" Basically, it takes place after Torchwood S2 and Stolen Earth/Journey's End, in canon divergence AU where the Tenth Doctor, instead of dumping the human Doctor into the parallel universe with Rose, lets them stay but sends his human duplicate off to Cardiff with Jack. Jack is still recovering from all the pain inflicted on him by S2 and before, and it falls mostly to Ianto to help the newcomer settle, while also trying to figure out his complicated relationship with Jack. Things ensue.

Sahiya's fics always contain tons of the kind of emotional hurt/comfort that pushes all my buttons, and this one is no exception, and delivers well on both the hurt and the comfort. The story is well written, characterization of all three is wonderful, as well as the supporting cast of Gwen and Martha, and I enjoy the development of all the relationships between the three main characters.

This is the first part of a series, but stands well on its own. A later part of the series also includes Donna Noble, Rose Tyler, and the original, Time Lord edition of the Tenth Doctor, but I do recommend starting with this part!

Rating: Explicit
Word Count/Length/Size: 101,136 words
Creator's Summary: A time travelling, action-adventure, romance-filled science fiction romp ensues when Ianto runs into Jack in the fifty-first century after an accident with a vortex manipulator. Laser blasters, alien dance clubs, mercenaries, a little too much public sex for Ianto's tastes, sneaky plans and circular logic can be found here. Set after Something Borrowed, but not particularly "AU" - it slots into season 2
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, several well-developed OCs and some pairings involving them. There's also an interlude with a threesome that includes a character/self combination, but it's not essential to the plot, so if that kind of thing puts you off, you can just skip that one.
Warnings/Notes: Explicit, mainly m/m sex happens here and there. Come to think of it, most of my favourite Torchwood fics have explicit sex. I think that's just the way Jack/Ianto stories tend to roll.

Reasons for reccing: Just managing to get in some Torchwood recs before February ends with its spin-offs theme! This was a much-recced and much-loved fic in the heyday of the Torchwood fandom, but as the fandom isn't so active anymore, perhaps it could use a boost to let newer fans know about it. It's one of my favourite Torchwood fics ever, and probably the only one I quite often think back on. The creator's summary says all the main things about it; I'll just add that it has excellent characterization of both Ianto and Jack, and in Jack's case offers fascinating views into Jack at different times of his life. The adventures are exciting, it's one of my favourite time travel stories, and the developments of Jack and Ianto's relationship are lovely and well explored. In addition, the OCs are well-developed and could just as well star in a non-fannish science fiction novel. Also, it has my favourite Jack-before-he-was-Jack name - it actually works and sounds like a real name and suits him.

Creator's Summary: The future's a grand place.
Characters/Pairings: Second Doctor/Jamie McCrimmon

Reasons for reccing: A beautiful little story of Jamie discovering romantic feelings for the Doctor and acting upon them; one of my favourite stories for this ship, despite being only a few hundred words. It's one of these lovely stories that fits incredibly much into startlingly few words - the way it describes Jamie's feelings about "the future" and all the things he's found because of the Doctor, and what the Doctor means to him, they fit Jamie perfectly and says so much about him. The way in which the romance part unfolds is understated yet gorgeous, sweet and subtly emotional.

I'm glad that looking for a variety of fics to rec for my character claim led me back to this one, because I read it (probably a few times over!) when I'd first discovered Two/Jamie fanfic, but I hadn't bookmarked it, and now I found it again. *hugs fic*

Creator's Summary: Polly and Ben help Jamie adjust to modern life, starting with a new turtleneck.
Characters/Pairings: Jamie McCrimmon, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson, Second Doctor; mostly gen but with a smidgen of Two/Jamie
Notes:This is set fairly early on in Jamie's TARDIS adventure times, set after The Underwater Menace and before The Moonbase. (Author's Note)

Reasons for reccing: I'm a sucker for "Jamie meets modernity" fics, and it's fun to imagine and read how Polly and Ben may have tried to introduce him to new times and new fashions. And obviously how he got that haircut! This is an adorable little ficlet about just that, capturing everyone's voices perfectly, not to mention Jamie's confusion over modern vocabulary. Fun, sweet and perfect. A tiny bit of Two/Jamie pre-slash, but I'm sure non-shippers will enjoy it as well.

Quote:
“Oh aye, it’s very nice,” replied Jamie with a nod, still bewildered by all that had happened to him. “What do you think?”

“I think you look smashing,” she said with a satisfied grin. “Doesn’t he, Ben?”

“Oh yeah,” Ben agreed, “brilliant, mate! Them turtlenecks, you know, they’re really with it.”

“With what?” asked Jamie.
