Title: Two Hearts
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] emeraldarrows
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 4325 words
Creator's Summary: Reflections on the past and the two hearts of a Time Lord.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa, Turlough, Adric, Kamelion, Tenth Doctor/Donna Noble.
Warnings/Notes: Angst.

Reasons for reccing: For 1981, the year that we first met Tegan Jovanka and the Fifth Doctor, as well as for the multi-era theme. This is a gorgeous set of haunting vignettes looking at their relationship, their bond, and its impossibility. It's a beautifully melancholic piece.

Rec [art]: An Illustration/Experiment by Mentalrhapsody

One for my seasonal challenge ship claim!

Title: An illustration/experiment (untitled)
Creator: [tumblr.com profile] mentalrhapsody
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: N/A
Creator's Summary: Tegan and Fivey and…Feels.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: It's rare to find many fanworks for Five & Tegan these days, but this is a lovely one. It's a very sweet piece of art (of Tegan kissing the Doctor's forehead), but unsentimental, and the style works well for the subject, with the contrast of the moon & stars glow illuminating their outlines with the muted evening palette. Surely guaranteed to make you go 'aww' a least a bit, whatever your take on their relationship.

Rec [Fic]: There to Here, by Nym

Title: There to Here
Creator: [personal profile] nym_wibbly
Rating: Teen and up
Word Count/Length/Size: 7016 words
Creator's Summary: Tegan's journey takes her to places she knew she'd never go.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Tegan, Nyssa, Turlough
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I could never imagine this pairing, until I read this story. Then, once I had read it, the pairing made perfect sense, but only in the way they are together here. This story brings Tegan and the Doctor together, but in a way that preserves the Doctor's essential, alien otherness. This is such a great Tegan voice. She's such a loud "outside" sort of character but this quieter, thoughtful but unflinchingly honest internal voice works so beautifully. I love - in a slightly uncomfortable way - the way the Doctor is with her, the way he sounds and acts - I can hear him so clearly in the dialogue - but Tegan is what really makes this story. It's one that's stayed in my mind ever since I first read it, years ago.

rec [fic]: Chocolate Cake Blues by Memory Dragon

Today's rec bingo (card here!) fills the fifth row, fifth column prompt 'cake'.

 
Creator: Memory Dragon
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 4223 words
Creator's Summary: After leaving Tegan again, the Doctor sets off to collect his companions and tries to forget the whole thing ever happened. The TARDIS has a different idea.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, implied Tegan/Five
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for the BFA "The Gathering." 

Reasons for reccing: As soon as I saw this prompt on my rec bingo card, I knew I had to rec an Evelyn story. The question, of course, was, which one should I rec? After all, I have never met an Evelyn fic I did not adore. After a good fifteen minutes of browsing my bookmarks, I remembered this lovely story. It's a wonderful soft moment between a Doctor that does not know Evelyn yet, and Evelyn herself, who (characteristically) is not taking any of his nonsense, no matter which incarnation he's in. 

Despite the author's claims to the otherwise, their Five voice is really quite spot-on, as is Evelyn's. It's such a lovely, magical fic, full of chocolate and warmth and hugs and it just makes me really very happy. We all need a friend who's willing to make chocolate cake for us in our lives, don't we? I know I do.
