 Title: Doro Theon
Creator:  Lyricwritesprose
Rating: All Ages 
Word Count/Length/Size: 1659
Creator's Summary: The night after Fenric, Ace asks a question.

Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane,  Seventh Doctor 
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For the 60th anniversary special.  For 1989 (year it aired).  

This is a thoughtful, well-done character moment set after The Curse of Fenric.    In character and it definitely makes sense the kind of questions Ace would have after the events of that story.

Creator's Summary: Jack Harkness is a conman and a survivor. He doesn't believe in legends. And he shouldn't be running towards the invisible menace—but he is.
Characters/Pairings: Jack Harkness, Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler
Warnings/Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence. Couple of allusions to Jack’s sexual exploits, but nothing shown on the page—just slightly more detail than you’d get on the show.

Reasons for reccing: I want to rec this fic for the “Rumour Has It” monthly theme because of how it explores the Doctor’s character from the perspective of Jack’s second-hand, legendary knowledge of Time Lords and of the War. It’s also about Jack’s character arc, and how his view of the Doctor changes as he learns more about both the Doctor and himself. I love stories where characters have their expectations of each other subverted, and this is very much one of those, in a tremendously hopeful and thoughtful way. Oh, and there’s also a great action plot!

Creator's Summary: A companion's best friend. Based on an offhand remark by the eleventh Doctor.

Warnings/Notes:None

Reasons for reccing: It's a short sweet fic about Jo and her relationship with the Doctor, although he's not in it.

Title: Dragons of the Mind
Creator: [archiveofourown.org profile] lyricwritesprose
Rating: Gen
Word Count/Length/Size: 23658
Creator's Summary: In a dark and unfamiliar landscape, Ace struggles to save people while trying to figure out whether she's being played—and by whom.
Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Eleventh Doctor, Original Characters
Warnings/Notes: Mental manipulation, psychological horror, references to past abuse, canon-typical minor character death.
Reasons for reccing: Ace is all grown up and is undoubtedly the hero of this story. I love how she takes charge and deals with all of the dangers and misunderstandings along the way. The Eleventh Doctor is also perfectly characterized, and has a lot of interesting similarities and differences to the Doctor Ace knows.

This is my second rec for the "Claim a Character" challenge.

Creator's Summary: Charley Pollard is looking for a dangerous book when she enters a bookshop in Soho. But all is not well, and she soon finds herself trapped inside the book. Luckily, she's not alone.
Characters/Pairings: Charley Pollard, Aziraphale (Good Omens)
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: I stumbled over this recently and was delighted by the unexpected character combination (so this fits our seasonal challenge), and this fantastic, surreal adventure that brings them together. It feels exactly like a wonderfully weird Eight & Charley audio, and Aziraphale and his bookshop fit in perfectly, and I love it.

Title: Du Liebes Kind, Komm, Geh Mit Mir

Creator's Summary: Some time after she moves to America, Maria Jackson gets wrapped up in mysterious temporal events and Sarah Jane's past.
Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor, Alan Jackson, Maria Jackson, Sarah Jane Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a story long enough to get into. A typical sort of Doctor Who story with aliens and monsters and weird time things. But it's all told from Maria's perspective, with the added interest of her meeting Sarah Jane when she's still travelling with the Doctor.

Creator's Summary: Mickey and Martha are looking for an alien at a university. They find the Doctor. But how can they be sure of him, when the alien they're looking for can invade a person's body?
Characters/Pairings: Twelve & Martha/Mickey

Reasons for reccing: I love fics where Twelve is reunited with Martha, and this is a fantastic example of it. Not only does it have some great charater stuff, it also has a very Doctor Who-ish moral dilemma at the heart of the story.

The first of two recs for tonight, involving Liz Shaw and a Lethbridge-Stewart, for my character claim for the seasonal challenge.

Title: Adventures in Scientific Babysitting
Creator: lyricwritesprose
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 200 words
Creator's Summary: When Liz Shaw babysits, the science is going to get done right.
Characters/Pairings: Liz Shaw, Kate Stewart
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Perfect double drabble of a missing scene that surely must be true - it wasn't necessarily her father who taught little Kate that science leads.
