Author's Summary: You know, I acquired that ulster from Gilbert and Sullivan. –The First Doctor, "Edge of Destruction."

Warnings: None

Recced because: If you are a Gilbert and Sullivan fan, this will make you laugh and laugh. Even if you aren't a G&S fan (and why not, for heaven's sake?), this is still a witty and very funny story about multiple Doctors causing coat-related chaos for the composer and librettist. The story is crammed full of references both obvious and sly to Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, and dbskyler helpfully includes an extra chapter of author's notes in case you miss a few of the jokes.

Yes! Seconding the rec here, it was one I was planning to do myself. If you're anything of a theatre fan, this is delightful.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Oh, dammit. I was going to rec this Thursday. *sighs* Back to the drawing board.

(It really is terribly awesome, though. Good choice.)

I'm sorry! But yeah, it is a terribly awesome story, and deserves to be recced no matter which one of us does it ;)

Nah, it's cool! I hadn't decided which story my seventh rec would be, so I can maybe just rec both of the ones I was trying to decide between now. So it's totally cool.

Wow! Thank you all for recc'ing the story or saying you planned to rec it -- I've never been recc'ed on Calufrax before and this made my entire week!

Hooray! It's a wonderful story -- thank you for writing it!
