Story: Non-Linear Love Story
Author: rallalon
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 50227
Author's Summary: "Come with me." She's worth it, he thinks. They fit so well together and she already knows how to use a fire extinguisher.
Characters/Pairings: 8/Rose, 9/Rose, 10/Rose
Warnings: Explicit Sex

Recced because: Quite simply, it's hot. But that isn't the only reason. Rallalon has managed to create a story that includes 8/Rose, 9/Rose, and 10/Rose in not quite the order that you'd expect. It's a mystery and a romance. It's character study and introspection. It's hot sex and gentle comforting. As the title says, it's a non-linear love story. (And on Teaspoon, you also get to read the out-takes/scenes that might have been.)

Rec: Night Out

Story: Night Out
Author: Empress of the Eclipse
Rating: All Ages
Word Count: 4304
Author's Summary: When the Doctor goes out for a walk and comes back drunk, Adric has to put him to bed. Doctor/Adric slash.
Characters/Pairings: Fifth Doctor/Adric, Nyssa, Tegan
Warnings: none

Recced because: While I very much expect almost all potential readers to skip right past this recommendation the second they see the pairing, this story is well written and deserves a mention. I'm not at all enthusiastic about the idea of Five/Adric, yet I liked what the author did here. Empress of the Eclipse wrote a good balance of humor and angst and a fine portrayal of Adric. The fic is Five/Adric, but it's also believable Five/Adric.
