rec: OTP Forever

Story: OTP Forever
Author: bytheseaside
Rating: Adult
Author's Summary: Revenge is sweet femslash.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Martha Jones, Martha Jones/Rose Tyler, Tenth Doctor/TARDIS
Warnings: None

Recced because: Because you can't beat good crack!fic, that's why. Also, I am of the opinion that this fandom is in desperate need of more femslash; especially with this pairing. The author manages to highlight the fact that the Doctor continues to talk about Rose after she's gone, despite being written before Series 3 aired. All in all; a very funny story. Plus, any fic that features Doctor/TARDIS can't be bad.

Rec: Nights Like This

Story: Nights Like This
Author: Joan Milligan
Rating: All Ages
Author's Summary: A big loud man and a little old lady walk into a bar...
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor/Evelyn Smythe (Big Finish audio companion)
Warnings: None

Recced because: Evelyn Smythe, for those unfamiliar with her, is a fiftyish historian with a steel backbone who gives as good as she gets, which is probably why she makes such a fine foil to the Sixth Doctor's abrasiveness and arrogance. This story, told in the style of a rambling joke that turns sweet but not sappy, shows this very odd couple in their element, arguing, drinking, dancing, laughing, alarming everyone around them without meaning to (and sometimes very deliberately meaning to) and generally being wrapped up in one another in a way that made me smile. Six is definitely not my favorite of the Doctors, but I like him with Evelyn, very much.
