Story: A Little Rest for the Wounds
Author: Carmen Sandiego / Calapine
Rating: Adult
Author's summary: The Doctor, a werewolf, and a house in Brazil.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Ileana de Santos
Warnings: none
Word Count: ~700 words

Recced because: Ileana is from the Loups-Garoux Big Finish audio, and as that suggests, she is indeed a werewolf; her interactions with the Fifth Doctor are revisited during a meeting with the Tenth Doctor in this short but very effective piece. The story is beautifully written, with lines such as On his back, her nails are claws are nails are claws which just pop with imagery, and both characters are perfectly drawn, with the Doctor looking for a little respite from his worries and his past, and Ileana being able to see through him, and show his fallibilities. It works wonderfully.

Ok, between this rec and calapine saying this was one of her favorites BF audios, you convinced me to listen to this again, this time without the bad mood and the nitpicking. Shall go listen to it, and then shall read this. Thanks!

Hee! I really liked this one, as a whole - though I was new to audios at the time, so I should listen to it again now that I'm a little better at them. But I do love it - the characters are quite incredible. Hope you enjoy it second time round!
