Rec: Sweet are the Uses

Story: Sweet are the Uses
Author: Bagheera
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 4156
Author's summary: Depressed by his exile, the Doctor spends a few hours with the Master.
Characters/Pairings: Third Doctor/Delgado!Master
Warnings: PWP

Recced because: The slashy possibilities of Three/Master practically leap off the screen in their serials. Here, that dynamic is captured in a well paced fic. The Doctor, angsting about his exile on Earth, encounters the Master. He stops to have a talk, which turns into more. Why would the Doctor tolerate the Master's presence? Well, his reasoning is plausibly explained and so are the Master's motives. The dialogue is excellent and the ending is just about perfect.

Story: Out of Joint
Author: HonorH
Rating: PG-13? They talk about sex...
Word Count: 44603
Author's Summary: Crossover with Joss Whedon's Firefly. A mysterious incident in the Time Vortex forces the TARDIS to set down on Serenity. Mal finds a few headaches, the Doctor finds a mystery, and River finds someone who speaks her language.
Characters/Pairings: 9, Rose, Jack, and the Crew of Serenity during the series. (So, all sorts of implied pairings.)
Warnings: None

Recced because: This is the best written Firefly/Doctor Who crossover out there. (Yes, the best in the 'Verse.) HonorH's River is just perfect, and the interactions between River and Nine are pure gold. The characterizations are excellent. Really, I could just sit here and heap praise on this fic all day. But wouldn't you rather pop over and see for yourself? Just think what could happen with our happy trio on the same ship with Mal and Co. And yes, the dinosaurs make an appearance.

( River has something to say. )
