iStalk: Doctor Who recs
New-school, old-school, shippy, gen, cracksome; I am flexible like Captain Jack.
Mixed
Planet Earth is Blue (and there's nothing I can do) by Mazily Ten/Romana/Jack/TARDIS. Non-linear. With delicious dialogue and old pains and new conflicts. It's all rather perfect, really. Nothing but Flowers by Vali Long, complex examination of the Ten/Martha relationship, and the earlier relationships that affect the way it's perceived by the couple. Which is to say, a healthy dose of Doctor/Master to complicate an already intricate relationship. Fabulously well-written, with layers upon layers of oldschool references and brilliant dialogue. (Adult.) Like Nobody's Watching by Andraste The Doctor has been dancing for a long time. A series of scenes, vignettes and ficlets as each Doctor dances (innuendo optional) with one of the people he loves. Or more than one. Sweet, true to character, and with a beautiful twist at the end. Bizarre Love Rectangle by UKTechgirl In which assorted audio and telly companions get disgracefully drunk and flirt a lot. The Doctors -- Five and Seven -- are more concerned with higher matters, like not killing each other. People of the Universe by Calapine Susan and Romana take a night out of time. This is marvellously understated; what goes unsaid is as significant as anything in the text. Collateral Damage by Nostalgia Ten/Rose/Romana. The Time War continues in a more intimate, devastating form. Nos' never writes sex without a healthy dose of characterisation. Romana includes Rose in her private battles with the Doctor; Rose is trying to keep up; the Doctor is trying, maybe, to make amends. Rated R. |
