Author's Summary: A collection of drabbles and random scenelets, offered in no particular order, for your perusing pleasure!
Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Jack Harkness, Romana I, Rose Tyler, Sarah Jane Smith, The Doctor (10th), The Doctor (3rd), The Doctor (4th), The Doctor (7th), The Doctor (8th), The Doctor (9th), The TARDIS
Warnings: Implied Sex

Recced because: Each chapter is a little ficlet, and they are all simply beautiful. It's a wonderful collection of character studies, covering a goodly chunk of Who canon, and they are all bound together by a playful melancholy that is very moving. It's sprinkled throughout with literary references, quite often with the Doctor making obscure but fantastic quotes. I can easily see most of these as being cut scenes from various episodes (a couple of them are, most of them aren't). Additionally, it's a great view of the Doctor's main personality, outside of the quirks of regeneration.

Second time, actually. Blue Touch Paper was recced back in February.

PS You might want to stick a warning for non-con on the Four/Romana I ficlet.

Yes, I know I was recced for Blue Touch Paper. :) Much to everyone's dismay, I think.

And I didn't put a warning in b/c I didn't consider it non-con.

As a reader, I found it pretty distressing. I do consider it non-con, and quite triggery. I'm not saying you must put a warning on things, but it's a courtesy to your readers.
