Rec: Try to Remember by Dettiot

Story:  Try to Remember
Author: dettiot
Rating:  All Ages
Word Count: 4,107
Author's Summary:  Autumns across time and space. Post-Fear Her; references to Army of Ghosts and Doomsday.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose
Warnings: None.  Well, maybe a tissue warning if you're sensitive. 

Recced because:  This story makes gorgeous use of setting and imagery to evoke a mood.  It's a relationship study of the Doctor and Rose at a time when they're growing closer and reveling in each other's company but both feeling apprehension of the coming storm.  Cute and sweet yet deeply melancholy, this story is like an autumn celebration where you feast against the coming cold. 

( Have a taste... )

REC: Rewrite

Story: Rewrite
Author: FyrDrakken
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 5459
Author's summary: You only get one chance to be in one time and place. Only one chance to alter the course of events before you have to let them go. But he knows the way to cheat, too. History is really just recorded memory. And memories can be altered. Erased. Even rewritten.
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose, Nine/Rose, Nine/Jack/Rose
Warnings: Time Lord memory tampering.

Recced because: It's deliciously creepy in a very low-key way. The Doctor only wants to make his first time with Rose Tyler something worth remembering, but he's going about it the entirely wrong way and in the back of his mind he might even realize it. I'm not usually all that into Doctor/Rose or Doctor/Jack/Rose fics at all, but I keep coming back to this one. Go read it.
