Title: The Long, Long Shadow
Creator:

vailkagami
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 4086 words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barabara are gone, the Daleks are defeated, and Steven made it into the TARDIS just in time. But there is still a problem of more Daleks to take care of, and the method of getting rid of them is not something the Doctor is keen on trying.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, The Doctor's TARDIS
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting idea, that the Daleks wouldn't stop chasing them after The Chase. And it's coupled with Steven trying to get used to the TARDIS. And a look at the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS; how the TARDIS thinks of time. And a dash of knowledge from the future.

This is a nice bit of backstory for the two of them and I could definitely see something like this happening. Especially given that these two are established as...not exactly the best students.

Creator's Summary: Harry visits Sarah Jane, and tries an old argument one last time.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith/Harry Sullivan, Luke Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's both sweet and amusing. Harry is very Harry-like in this and he fits seemlessly into SJA. Luke's reactions to him are amusing and the relationships between all three of them are sweet.

Characters/Pairings: Fourth Doctor/Sarah Jane Smith
Warnings/Notes: Explicit sex, non-con

Reasons for reccing: I love an aliens make them do it and it's interesting as to how the aliens make them do it and what the Doctor and Sarah Jane's reactions are to it.

Title: Doctor Who - The Daleks (1963) (Creepy Fan Trailer)
Creator: cbatt91337
Rating: None given
Word Count/Length/Size: 1:59
Creator's Summary: Featuring the original music by Tristram Cary with additional music by the Audio Machine, this is a trailer for William Hartnell's' second story and the Daleks first.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None given, but there is quite a bit of flashing images in it

Reasons for reccing: It's a really creepy and make the serial look like it's a creepy atmospheric, excitingly paced set of episodes. Which it probably was in the 60s, but this gives us a flavour of how it might have felt to people watching it for the first time when it was first broadcast. It certainly made me really want to re-watch it.

Creator's Summary:

“Ian—”

He immediately cuts her off, “Barbara, there’s something I ought to tell you—”

The TARDIS doors opening is loud and nearly causes both of them to jump out of their skin, ruining the moment. Susan appears and gestures for them to come back inside.

(or: five times Ian tries to let Barbara know he's in love with her + one time he actually does)
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None

Characters/Pairings: Thirteenth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Tegan Jovanka, Yasmin Khan, Vislor Turlough

Title: Ian Chesterton | Take the Long Way Home
Creator: relative-dimension-in-space
Rating: Not rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 3:38
Creator's Summary:
Oh, I cried making this. It's something I knew I wanted to do when this time came but being prepared to make it did not make this easier.

I'm honestly in a bit of shock. It doesn't feel real, somehow. With Russ's age I've expected it for years now but because he's always defied my expectations by still holding on it's really hard to believe it now that it's happened. I can't say how grateful I am that we got to see him as Ian one last time and that we got to share this world with him for as long as we did. It's been a joy being in the Classic Who fandom for 11 years now and knowing that one of the all-time greats was still with us. My heart has been so broken all day, but I'm sure it's a relief to him to be able to rest now and reunite with family and loved ones. I'd like to think Bill, Jackie, and Verity are holding a little party right about now. My prayers are with his family left behind on this side.

This tribute is dedicated in memory of William Russell and his wonderfully long life. He truly took the very, very long way back home to his Father in Heaven. Cheers and rest in peace, Russ.

Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Vislor Turlough

Reasons for reccing: It's a great idea, having Ian and Turlough at the same school. The parallels between Turlough and Susan that help Ian spot another alien is really interesting.

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).

If anyone has read/seen Matilda (if not, go do it as soon as possible, it's wonderful :)) , you should be aware of how it ends. And the thought of the Doctor and Ace being involved is spectacular. And everyone is in character here.

Title: The Keeper of Darkness
Creator:

heimeldat
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 27k words
Creator's Summary: An enslaved town built in perpetual darkness. A clever scheme that (as usual) the Doctor hasn't bothered explaining to Ace. And a vampire queen who wants the Doctor to join her clan. What could go wrong?
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, briefly Narvin, OCs
Warnings/Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence; vampirism and associated unpleasantness; hypnotism/mind control

Reasons for reccing:
(It’s me! I’m still here!)

This has been a favorite WIP of mine and (evidently put in the mood by the Goth Opera audio) the author has just wrapped it up, so I ran directly over here to rec it. As per Heimeldat’s tags, “I don’t think I’m capable of writing Seven and Ace without making both of their lives miserable.” They certainly have a rough time—the Doctor gets vampirized (in service of a grand plan, of course) and Ace has to protect him in the middle of a nest of vampires, while worrying about whether he’s really still himself. Blood gets drunk and minds get whammied. But it’s neither depressing nor grim: the author really loves her characters and loves showing off the hard-earned, often-imperiled trust between them. Heimeldat’s Seven and Ace are an unbreakable team, as the Doctor counts on Ace for things he can’t ask of her and she trusts him (mostly) in spite of everything.

Link: The Keeper of Darkness

(I’ve added the “fandom: books/comics/other” tag because a major plot point draws on Goth Opera, but since it’s an audio now should it be “fandom: big finish”?)

Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Rachel Jensen

Creator: Astrid
Rating: All Ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 608
Creator's Summary: For April Fools Day, I present something I wrote last year as a parody of all the bad Doctor Who fics (well, bad fics in general). I'm very sorry about this, I really am.

Characters/Pairings:  Ace McShane, Adric, Leela, Mel Bush, Peri Brown, Romana II, The Doctor (8th), The Doctor (Other), The Master (Other), The Rani, The Silurians, The Valeyard, The Yeti
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: Yes, that's the actual title. It's a parody of bad fic: the funniest and most accurate parody I think I've ever read. I honestly don't know how much I can say here without spoiling it. But we all have come across fic like this at some point.

Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (2nd), Jamie McCrimmon, Victoria Waterfield
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Sacrifice box on Rec Bingo. This is atmospheric and beautiful, dealing with the Doctor having to make a hard choice. Ends on a nice note though!

Twice.” Mel laughs, the tension suddenly gone. “Melanie Bush,” she returns, “and I was possessed by the god of death. Just once, mind you.” ~ Mel, after Empire of Death
Characters/Pairings: Melanie Bush, Tegan Jovanka
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for s1/14/whatever; emotional trauma from possession.

Reasons for reccing: I came across this tonight and it filled a need I hadn't realised I had for some sort of fic dealing with Mel, post "The Empire of Death". It's well-drawn, beautifully written, and a lovely look at these two opposites bonding over unwanted shared experiences.

Characters/Pairings: Clara Oswin Oswald, Lucie Miller, Izzy Sinclair, The Master (Ainley, Simm), Missy, and a bunch of cameos
Warnings/Notes: None. All you really need to know is that this takes place in an AU "outside of continuity" in which the Doctors and companions are toddlers in a nursery.

Reasons for reccing: For the Framing Device box on my Rec Bingo card. This is a hilarious and cute fic. The idea of Clara telling the babies a story (with characters acting it out and interrupting it) is awesome. It's a clever retelling and several moments are just fun to picture.
